Features
Money Collect
Money collect symbols can appear at any time on the reel during the base game. They have a cash value, but the cash value will only be collected if a chest symbol also appears on the reel. Different chests can appear:
- a single chest will collect all the treasure symbols on the reel and the total is paid;
- the gold chest also has a value, which is added to all the treasure symbols on the reel and the total is paid;
- the purple chest has a multiplier that will act on all the values of the treasure symbols on the reel and the total is paid;
- the green chest works like a single chest except that new treasure symbols are added randomly to the reel before collection.
Free Spins
3 or more Scatters activate the Free Spins feature. The game awards 12 free spins and 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 Scatters pay 3 times, 5 times, 10 times, 20 times and 100 times the original bet respectively! During the free games, every money symbol value is collected and at the end of the feature the player has the chance to spin the wheel and to win the total amount of all values.
Free spins can also be purchased for 100x the amount of the initial bet.
Overall
John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches is a rather original slot from Pragmatic Play. The system of chests and treasures implanted in the base game is rather well thought out, but it remains difficult to visualize the high potential of this slot. The paradisiacal world of Bermuda and its treasures are very well realized, while the graphics are of excellent quality.
