Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the iGaming industry, launches John Hunter and Galileo’s Secrets. The latest addition to his popular John Hunter series, it combines mystery symbols with cash respins. Thus, it offers a winning potential of 5,000x.
The 5×3 grid is filled with telescopes, globes and maps in this astronomical adventure. Mystery symbols can cover entire reels. They then transform into other matching symbols and increase payouts. According to the provider, they also appear as money symbols to help trigger the respin feature.
Intuitive operation and new features available
As per Pragmatic Play, six or more money symbols on the grid trigger the feature with three respins. However, whenever a new money symbol appears, the number of available respins resets to three.
This way when there are no respins left or the entire grid is filled with money symbols. Therefore, the value of all prize money is collected and paid out.
Landing three book scatters triggers the bonus game with eight free spins initially awarded. Therefore, before the feature begins, a random symbol is selected as the mystery symbol.
Thus, it determines whether the bonus game starts at the Bronze, Silver, Gold or Super level. However, a gamble option is also available for the chance to upgrade to a higher paying mystery symbol.
Free spins, mystery symbols and bonus game
During free spins, full mystery symbols always expand to cover the entire reel and additional scatters are collected in a meter. This way, after every four scatters collected, the bonus game level is updated, a new mystery symbol is randomly selected and two extra free spins are awarded.
Super level free spins can be triggered via upgrades during the feature. However, they can also land at least one super scatter on a bonus trigger spin in the base game.
Therefore, in super level free spins, the mystery symbol is always the money symbol, which means players have a greater chance of hitting the respin feature.
John Hunter and Galileo’s Secrets are the latest additions to Pragmatic Play’s award-winning slots portfolio, following the launch of Wild Wildebeest Wins, Bigger Bass Splash and Ancient Island Megaways™.
According to Irina Cornides, Operations Director at Pragmatic Play, the game stands out for offering greater winnings: “John Hunter is one of Pragmatic Play’s most popular game series. This latest adventure features mystery upgrade symbols that enhance the bonus round, offering wins of up to 5,000x.”
