How To Play John Hunter and The Tomb of The Scarab Queen Mobile Slot
The John Hunter and The Tomb of The Scarab Queen slot gives you 25 paylines with a high RTP of 96.5% and lots of instant cash money symbols.
This is not the first of John Hunter’s adventures chasing Ancient Egyptian Gold, as he chased the Book of Tut slot and walked away with 5,000x your bet.
Turns out that Queens have more treasure than Pharoahs because here he hopes to give you even more with a top win of over 10,000x your bet.
And whilst the Egyptian slot theme remains much the same as in the Book of Tut (because there’s only so much you can do with pyramids and scarabs) the mechanics here are very different.
Why play on John Hunters and The Tomb of The Scarab Queen slot:
The Queen may be the highest-paid symbol of the lot, but it’s the scarab that takes all the glory.
It comes in two forms; the golden cash symbol on reels 1-4 and the collect symbol on reel 5. If you get money symbols and a collect symbol, you’ll collect the instant cash symbols on the reels.
But there are multiple types of collect symbols. Some will get the cash symbols to expand to cover the reel, some will give you respins of non-money symbols, some will give you multipliers or add cash to the money symbols.
In other words, they are all designed to give you bigger cash rewards in this The Tomb of The Scarab Queen slot game.
Hard to catch free spins and money symbols
The problem is that those special collect symbols are not easy to find. Mostly you collect maybe around 5x to 20x your bet in this Pragmatic Play slot.
To get the top win in The Tomb of The Scarab Queen online slot, you’ll need to hit 3 scatters and 8 free spins. During the bonus spins, all money symbols are collected, even without a collect symbol.
In your final spin, a mage money bag symbol will pop in the middle reels with the total amount, and if you hit one of the collect symbols, you could win huge cash amounts.
Mostly you don’t. This is why this the Tomb of The Scarab Queen mobile slot can be so frustrating, but it’s also part of its charm – you get lots of small to mid wins and with every free spin you get the chance to win really big.
