iGaming content supplier Pragmatic Play has released John Hunter and Galileo’s Secrets, the latest addition to its popular John Hunter series. The title combines mystery symbols with money respins to deliver 5,000x win potential.
The 5×3 grid is filled with telescopes, globes, and maps in the game, where mystery symbols can cover entire reels, transforming into matching symbols to boost payouts or money symbols to help trigger the respin feature.
Six or more money symbols on the grid activate the respin feature with three respins. Whenever a new money symbol lands, the number of available respins resets to three. When no respins remain, or the entire grid is filled with money symbols, the value of all cash prizes is collected and paid out.
Landing three book scatters triggers the bonus game with eight free spins initially awarded. Before the feature begins, a random symbol is selected as the mystery symbol, determining whether the bonus game begins at the Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Super level. A gamble option is also available for the chance to upgrade to a higher-paying mystery symbol.
During free spins, full mystery symbols always expand to cover the entire reel, and additional scatters are collected in a meter. After every four scatters are collected, the bonus game level is upgraded, a new mystery symbol is selected at random, and two extra free spins are awarded.
Super-level free spins can be triggered via upgrades during the feature or by landing at least one super scatter in a bonus-triggering spin in the base game. In Super level free spins, the mystery symbol is always the money symbol, meaning players have an increased chance of hitting the respin feature.
John Hunter and Galileo’s Secrets is the latest addition to Pragmatic Play’s slots portfolio, following the release of Wild Wildebeest Wins, Bigger Bass Splash, and Ancient Island Megaways.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “John Hunter is one of Pragmatic Play’s most popular game series. This latest adventure features upgrading mystery symbols that enhance the bonus round, offering wins of up to 5,000x.”
Earlier this month, Pragmatic Play launched Immersive Roulette Deluxe, a new live casino offering that “enhances a player favorite with cinematic slow-motion replays of the ball coming to rest in the wheel.”
Retaining the familiar aspects of the famous table game, Immersive Roulette Deluxe harnesses the latest in video technology to “capture the outcome of each round in stunning 4K quality,” as announced by the provider.
