John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen

John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen sends Pragmatic Play's adventurer into Ancient Egypt with a feature system built almost entirely around golden scarabs. Money Symbols can appear across the first four reels, but their displayed values only become truly important when one of five different Collect Symbols reaches the fifth reel. Each Collect variant handles those values differently, from simply paying their total to multiplying them, increasing every scarab or keeping them in place for another spin. Free Spins then turn the same mechanic into a collection challenge that builds towards one final respin. The game uses five reels, three rows and 25 fixed paylines, with bets ranging from 0.25 to 125. Volatility is medium and the maximum win reaches 10,500x the total bet. Regular combinations pay across adjacent reels from the left, with John Hunter occupying the top of the normal paytable. The Scarab Queen is the Wild and can appear on reels two through five. She substitutes for regular paying symbols but does not replace the Pyramid Scatter, Money Symbols or Collect Symbols. Golden Scarab Money Symbols are restricted to reels one through four and display individual cash values that become the foundation of the Money Collect mechanic. Five different Collect Symbols can appear on reel five. The standard Collect simply adds together the values of all visible Money Symbols and awards the resulting total. Extra Credit Collect carries its own value, which is added to every Money Symbol before the enhanced values are collected. This means its effect becomes increasingly valuable when several Money Scarabs are already visible. Multiplier Collect first calculates the combined value of all visible Money Symbols and then multiplies that amount by the multiplier shown on the Collect Symbol, with values reaching 25x. Expanding Collect changes the physical arrangement of the Money Symbols by expanding them across their respective reels before their values are collected, potentially creating many more Money positions from the symbols already present. Respin Collect handles the scarabs differently again. Visible Money Symbols remain in place while another spin occurs, giving the grid another opportunity to add to the result before the Money Collect sequence is resolved. These five variations make the symbol on reel five just as important as the quantity and values of the Money Symbols waiting across the first four reels. The Pyramid Scatter appears on the three central reels. Landing the required three Scatters triggers 8 Free Spins, and the Money Collect mechanics remain active throughout the bonus. Additional qualifying Scatter combinations can award another 8 Free Spins, allowing the feature to continue while further Money Symbols are accumulated. Every Money Symbol appearing during Free Spins also contributes its value to a separate bonus pot. This collection continues throughout the entire feature rather than being cleared after each individual spin. The pot can therefore become considerably larger if additional Free Spins extend the round and more golden scarabs continue to appear. Once the Free Spins are finished, the accumulated pot returns to the reels as a Giant Money Symbol covering reels one through four. Reel five then receives one final respin, creating a last opportunity for a Collect Symbol to appear. If one lands, its relevant Collect mechanic is applied to the accumulated Money value, giving the feature a final result that reflects the scarabs gathered throughout the entire bonus. John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen stands out because its five Collect mechanics create different outcomes from essentially the same starting grid. A group of valuable scarabs can be collected directly, individually increased, multiplied, expanded or carried into a respin depending on what reaches reel five. Free Spins then give those same Money Symbols a second purpose by storing their values for the final Giant Money respin, making the scarab system the central mechanic from the first paid spin to the final moment of the bonus.
