The John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin slot created by Pragmatic Play plays out on a 5 x 3-reel grid, and comes with 10 paylines, up to 96.50% RTP and a high variance level.
This is a revamp of the John Hunter and the Book of Tut also powered by Pragmatic Play. The only difference between the two is the incorporation of the respin mechanic in the sequel game which positively altered the feel of the original game. The Ancient Egyptian theme from the original game remains as is for this sequel, you will not be disappointed if you like the previous game.

BONUSES
- Wild: The symbol that carries the wild powers in the John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin is the special book symbol.
- Scatter: The special book symbol in this slot doubles up as the scatter icon.
- Free Spins Feature: Players start playing the free spins feature when they land three scatters on the reels simultaneously. Players get 10 free spins when the feature triggers. Before players start utilizing the awarded free spins, one regular symbol is chosen to become the mystery symbol. The mystery symbol during this feature functions in the same way as the base game mystery symbol. Additional scatters that land during the feature allow players to receive extra free spins.
- Mystery Symbol and Respin: At random during any spin during the base game, one of the regular symbols may be picked as the mystery symbol for that spin only. The chosen mystery symbol after the payout of regular symbols expands vertically hence covering all reel positions. After the expansion, the game enters the respin mode. During the respin mode, a respin is awarded but the expanding reel with a mystery symbol sticks in its position. Players retrigger an additional respin when they land the same instance of the mystery symbol. During the retrigger respin, the just landed mystery icons expand and lock in their positions. The feature ends when all respins have been used or when all reel positions are filled with expanding mystery symbols. The mystery symbol once the feature ends pays according to its paytable values and does not conform to laid out rules regarding paylines.
- Buy Free Spins: The ‘Buy Free Spins’ tab which appears below the playing grid gives players the opportunity of purchasing the free spins round. The purchase price for the free spins round is 100x the bet. When players purchase the free spins round, they are awarded the freedom of picking the mystery symbol they want instead of the game picking it on their behalf.
