John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen

John Hunter is Pragmatic Play's recurring treasure hunter, a square-jawed explorer who turns up in several slots, each one sending him to a different lost civilisation. In Tomb of the Scarab Queen he faces Egypt, and the poster sets them side by side: Hunter in his wide-brimmed hat on the left, the queen in her gold and turquoise headdress on the right. The Tomb of the Scarab Queen demo gives you 1,000 virtual credits and needs no account.

An adventure-film setting

Expect torch-lit chambers, hieroglyphs and relics rather than cartoon pyramids. The art is detailed and the soundtrack borrows from adventure films, which suits a game built around the idea of one more chamber to open. Symbols mix Egyptian treasures with the two main characters, who naturally sit at the top of the paytable.

Keeping it honest

We prefer not to describe a bonus we cannot confirm in detail. If you have played other John Hunter games, you will find the tone familiar, but the rules of each chapter differ, so the in-game information screen is the place to check how the wild, scatter and free spins work in this one.

Getting the most from the free play

• Read the rules screen first and note what starts the feature.
• Play 150 to 200 spins at a fixed stake to see the bonus at least once.
• Compare it with another John Hunter adventure if you know one: the differences are the interesting part.
