John Hunter and the Mayan Gods Bonus Features

It seems that the hunter has been praying to the Aztec gods to guide him to their hidden treasure for they’ve decked this slot with two bonus features to help him out. Look out for scatters hitting the progressive free spins feature where expanding wilds transform premium symbols into the next best high-paying symbols for some adventurous wins.

Wilds

Known as one of the most famous works of the Aztec culture, the monolithic sunstone sculpture shines its golden light onto the grid in the form of a wild symbol. It substitutes for all symbols except scatters and only lands on reels 2, 3 and 4. Also, when it lands as part of a winning combination, it expands 3 symbols high, filling up an entire reel for bigger wins.

Scatters

Discovered amid the Chichén Itzá archaeological site, the ancient step-pyramid performs the sacred act of scatter magic to trigger some free spins. It also pays 2x, 20x and 50x your stake for 3, 4 and 5 identical scatters.

Free Spins

Triggered by 3 temple scatters, the free spins round here is a multi-level feature that starts with 12 free spins at level one. Each time you land a wild during the feature, you’ll have more free spins and a level upgrade added to your gameplay.

To gain an extra 1, 3 and 5 free spins and advance your level up by 1, 2 and 3 times, you’ll need to land 1, 2 and 3 wilds during the free spins rounds respectively. There are 6 levels in total which also come with the symbol upgrade function.

Each time you level up, the lowest paying premium symbol will transform into the next higher paying symbol for the duration of the round, starting with the chalet symbol at level 2. The higher the level, the closer you’ll get to playing with only non-special and John Hunter, the highest-paying symbols, for some sensational wins.

Retriggering this feature and benefiting from an additional 12 free spins over and over again is possible with 3 more scatters landing anywhere on the reels during the round.

John Hunter and the Mayan Gods Jackpot

John Hunter isn’t here for a jackpot. He’s travelled back in time to find the hidden Aztec treasure of up to 2,500x your stake.

RTP and Volatility

The high RTP of 96.51% corresponds well with the game’s potential. But the low potential doesn’t sit too well with the high volatility rate here. It feels a tad risky for what you get in return when the free spins bonus round fails to hit.
