John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin Slots

In the base game of Book of Tut Respin, there are expanding symbols that shell out respins frequently. The special symbol is selected randomly and the respins can score players lucrative payouts worth as much as 1,000x your stake. The bonus rounds can reward an even more massive 4,000x your bet! John Hunter games are always great, and even comparing this to other titles in this series, the original is not always better. At the very least, fans of the John Hunter series won't be disappointed by this reboot.

Special Features - Mystery Symbol

John Hunter and his movie star looks remain a focal point on this reel. The premium symbols on this reel payout are somewhere from 30x to 100x your stake when you trigger five of a kind. There is a random pay symbol that the book will choose during the base game. The symbol the book chooses operates as is the mystery symbol and can expand to cover the whole reel. So none of these symbols need to be adjacent to payout. The reels that aren't expanded will respin and new mystery symbols can expand the other reels, and during this, the remaining normal reels will respin again. When you finally can't score any other mystery symbols, or if the entire screen is covered with mystery symbols, this feature ends.

Other Symbols

The book symbol in this game plays a special role. It can be both a scatter symbol and a wild symbol, so it will substitute for regular symbols to complete winning combinations. When it plays its role as a scatter, players need 3, 4, or 5 of these babies to trigger the bonus round. When you trigger the bonus round, 3 will pay out x2, four will payout x20 and five will pay out a whopping 200x your stake. You'll receive 10 free spins and a random pay symbol is chosen as the mystery symbol. The mystery symbol during this feature behaves similarly to the previous bonus I mentioned. It expands to fill the reels. They'll trigger a respin of the remaining reels, and you'll receive 10+ free spins if 3+ double-duty scatter/wild symbols land during a free spin. The mystery symbol will remain the same during these rounds and the extra spins can go for an unlimited time frame if you're lucky enough.

Bonus Buy

There is a bonus buy feature for this game, and players can purchase a bonus round for 100x your stake. While the bonus buys feature is active, you'll have the opportunity to choose what mystery symbol you want from the different pay tables available. The RTP for the bonus buy rounds is 96.48% which is favorable, and the average amount of free spins a player can trigger from the bonus buy is 305 spins.

Conclusion

By no means is this series old or tiring, as the original of this game only came out recently in 2020. However, my guess is the popularity drove Pragmatic Play to release an update of this game, and by no means am I complaining. It's like they took everything great about the original game, and kicked it up a notch! The special symbols and dazzling artwork is sure to win the hearts of many adventurers out there.
