It introduces respins, expanding money symbols, and multipliers of up to 25x. Players can join John on his quest for between  €0.25 to €125 per spin.

The grid is set against a desert backdrop with ancient pyramids towering beside the reels. The symbols include lower-value J to A royals, along with premium symbols such as leather bags, revolvers, the ancient Egyptian deity Anubis, and the protagonist himself, John Hunter.

Additionally, Cleopatra acts as the wild symbol, appearing on all reels except the first, and substituting for other symbols to form winning combinations.

Game Features

The standout feature of John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen is the Money Collect feature. Scarab symbols can appear on reels 1 to 4, carrying cash values. If a collect scarab symbol lands on reel 5 alongside these, one of the following outcomes occurs:

• Collect: The cash values on the screen are added together and paid out as winnings.
• Extra Credit Collect: The value of the collect scarab symbol is added to all money symbols on the screen, boosting the potential payout.
• Multiplier Collect: The total value of the collected money symbols is multiplied by up to 25x.
• Expanding Collect: All money symbols expand to cover their respective reels entirely.
• Respin Collect: Each money symbol on the screen is held in place while the other tiles spin again.

The game also features a Free Spins round triggered by landing three scatter symbols on the three central reels. During the Free Spins, every money symbol that appears is collected and added to a pot in the top right corner of the screen. When the free spins have run out.

Players receive one more spin with a super-massive scarab money symbol covering the first 4 reels entirely. If a collect symbol lands on the fifth reel, the entire pot is awarded, potentially resulting in wins exceeding 10,000 times the stake, thanks to the multipliers.

Landing three scatters grants players eight extra free spins, with no limit to retriggers.
