John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches Review

Strap yourself in for yet another volatile treasure hunt with John Hunter, and this time you’re going to the tropical isle of Bermuda. For the first time ever, you get to see the hero animated next to the reels, and this is also his first Cluster Pays grid slot adventure. John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches is thus an unusual installment in the Pragmatic Play range, and we’re glad to see the concept being expanded upon.

In addition to Tumble Wins and randomly triggered Cursed Wilds, you get a Money Symbol collection system with 3 modifier Collect symbols. You get plenty of money collect action in the bonus round, where a bonus wheel determines whether or not you win the racked up ‘extra pot’ in the end. All in all, this installment is well worth trying due to all the novelty, and it comes with a decent 5,000x potential.

John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches Features

Golden wilds can land anywhere on the 7x7 grid, and these step in for regular pay symbols to help complete winning clusters. A cluster of 15+ matching premium symbols pay between 90 and 150 x your stake, and all wins trigger the Tumble feature. The winning symbols are thus removed, and new/existing symbols drop down to fill the gaps.

Regular golden wild symbols will sometimes turn into Cursed Wilds. The cursed wilds are upgraded with an x2 multiplier, or extra wilds will be randomly placed on the grid.The multiplier applies only to wins that involve the cursed wild symbol.

You’ll land Money Symbols with random cash values across the grid, and if you land a Collect symbol at the same time the cash values are collected. All present money symbols are collected once per Collect symbol you land, and there are 4 different collect symbols as follows:

• Collect - simply collects all money symbol cash values present.
• Extra Credit Collect - adds its own value to all present money symbols before they are collected.
• Multiplier Collect - boosts all present money symbols with a multiplier before they are collected.
• Extra Drop Collect - awards extra money symbols to the grid, before every one of them is collected.

You win 3, 5, 10, 20 or 100 x your stake, respectively, when you land 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 scatters, and this also triggers the Bonus Round with 12 free spins. You get +5 extra spins per 3+ scatters you land during the feature, and it plays out somewhat similar to the base game.

The big difference is that Money Symbol values are collected whenever they land, no matter if a Collect Symbol is present or not. This money symbol pot is separate from the pot you rack up by landing different Collect Symbols however, and it’s awarded only if you win on the bonus wheel that triggers as the regular bonus round ends.

Finally, non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, can take advantage of the Bonus Buy feature.

The 200 Spins John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches Experience

You get to see a few regular wins, and a Collect win in the base game, before we purchase the bonus round close to the 1-minute mark. We got a pretty solid payout from 2 multiplier Collect symbols at the same time, and you can see for yourself how it all played out by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches is not only the Indiana Jones-style adventurer’s first ever cluster pays grid slot, it’s also the first time you get to see John Hunter animated next to the reels. He could perhaps have made a bit more of himself, as he’s mostly clinging to his golden treasure and his whip. Anyway, the handsome lad brings enough star power to the table to lift this volatile release somewhat above mediocrity.

The pace is excellent with the turbo switched on, and the money symbol collection is enough to keep the base game somewhat interesting. The cursed wilds help you out once in a while too, and things can get tense in the bonus round. The extra pot can add to your excitement on good days, but it’s a bit of an anti-climax when you don’t get it. Overall, a decent grid slot debut for John Hunter, but we would love to see a more active hero in future follow-ups.

Pros

• Cursed Wilds feature at random times
• Money symbol collect w/ 3 modifiers
• FS w/ final wheel extra pot
• Win up to 5,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
