John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin

What we do find very unfortunate is that Pragmatic Play has left the design of John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin virtually intact compared to the original.

So we won’t elaborate further, because, well, there is nothing new to report.

What about statistics in this respin version?

Alas! Few spectators. Everything is pretty much the same except that we moved the max win from 5,000 down to 4,000.

The volatility of the slot remains high and the RTP has remained identical at 96.50%.

Also, not unimportant to know, is that in John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin is played on a playing field with dimensions of 5 by 3 symbols.

Features

Then on to the features, in which the book symbol logically plays an important role. After all, John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin is a “book of” slot machine. In addition, there is a respins feature and a free spins feature cannot be missed, of course.

Respins feature

Moving on to the new feature compared to the original.

Both during the base game and the free spins feature of John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin, the respins feature is present. During any spin in the base game, a pay symbol can be chosen as a mystery symbol for the active spin. If a mystery symbol is seen on 3 different reels during that spin, they expand to the maximum size of the reel and are then fixed at their position.

The remaining reels then spin again and if that produces a new mystery symbol, it follows the same pattern as the previous mystery symbols. You are then rewarded again with a respin. This continues until a respin does not produce a new mystery symbol or until all the reels are filled with mystery symbols.

What extraordinary civilization will John Hunter discover this time!?

Free Spins

Book symbols are of course not to be missed in a “book of” slot machine. They function in John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin as wild and scatter. Spinning at least 3 of them will earn you 10 free spins. In addition, you will receive an instant payout as an additional prize:

• 3 scatters yield a payout of 2 times your bet.
• 4 scatters yield a payout of 20 times your bet.
• 5 scatters yield a payout of 200 times your bet.

Furthermore, at the beginning of the free spins round, a random symbol is chosen as a mystery symbol. This mystery symbol functions basically the same as in the base game. It expands to the total size of the reel when it lands on 3 reels at once, thus triggering the respins feature.

Furthermore, it is possible to earn 10 additional free spins during the free spins feature. You can do that simply by spinning 3 or more scatters (book symbols) again.

Correct Casinos’ Opinion

We can say that we are disappointed in this new John Hunter adventure. As a remake of Book of Tut, this respin version does not impress us.

Yes, the respin with mystery symbols is fun. This is just nothing we haven’t seen before. Leaving the design the same, too, we think is a bit cowardly.
