Rules

Starting with the sound, you will want to put this slot on mute before you take the first spin. The standby tune is fine but the reels produce a weird high-pitched din when spinning- the kind you come across in an old-timey casino cabinet. What were they even thinking? Not that the sounds matter much but as far as we are concerned, that’s a very bad start!

Moving on, the brand new slot picks up from where the previously-released John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen left off.  You notice a huge semblance in terms of the skin but that does not come as a surprise as both slots are based on ancient Egypt. When it comes to what both slots have to offer, the new release, unfortunately, registers as the underdog. We mean, we are talking about a max slot potential of 5500X here while JHTSQ’s potential was an unbelievable 10500X! And not just that… the upper bet limit has lowered to €100 from €125, not to mention that there are considerably fewer paylines and extras as well.

Will anything redeem this slot? Well, for starters, it manages to match the RTP, which was set at an impressive 96.5%. Secondly, while the previous slot utilized a medium volatility mechanic, this one utilizes a high volatility mechanic, which is preferred by the majority of players or precisely the type who prefer huge (potentially life-changing) wins in-between low-pay spins over a steady streak of small-medium wins with little to no chances of unlocking the slot’s max potential. Thirdly but not the final special advantage, the slot comes with a free spins buy-in feature that allows players to skip the rough times for 100 times their current bet.

On to the pre-spinning modus operandi, the first thing you have to do is select your preferred bet with the + and – bet selectors sandwiching the spin button. After getting that out of your way, don’t hesitate to get the reels spinning and for that, we advise you to use the auto-play button to set up to 1000 automatic spins. A win will be triggered every time 3-5 identical paylines are lined up adjacent to each other.

There are 9 regular symbols split into high and low-pays. While the low-pays are the usual card royal card royals we see in virtually any other slot including this slot’s predecessor, the high-pays are all symbols from ancient Egypt…you can see scarabs, Bastet, a ferocious ancient Egyptian goddess, the mask of Tutankhamun, and the man of the hour himself, John Hunter as the highest paying symbol netting rewards of up to 500 times your bet; that’s a notable improvement compared to the medium volatility-prequel where he could only dish out a meager 32 times your bet. This is the fourth and final special advantage.

Retrieving the Book

An ancient book is also among the symbols you will see during your spinning session. There is good reason to watch out for it as it is a multitasker acting as a payer, substituting wild and scatter.

Just 3 Books to Unlock the Bonus Round!

The bonus round, as you would speculate from playing other high-volatility beasts, is all about chasing the premier symbols for the biggest win. Before the bonus round commences, one of the symbols is selected randomly to expand over entire reels after the normal wins have been evaluated on each free spin. Let’s say you have at least John Hunter’s symbol on each of the reels, that’s a whopping €550000 for the taking right there and then!
