Game overview
John Hunter and the Scarab Queen is a slot game developed by and is presented with an ancient Egypt exploration theme. The game uses a traditional 5x3 reel grid with a fixed set of paylines and standard left-to-right symbol matching.
In the base game, wins are formed by matching identical symbols across active paylines. Regular spins define the core gameplay, while wild symbols can substitute for other symbols to complete winning combinations.
The primary feature is the Free Spins round, triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols. During free spins, special expanding wild symbols can appear, covering entire reels and increasing the likelihood of winning combinations. Additional free spins can be retriggered during the bonus round under predefined conditions.
John Hunter and the Scarab Queen is generally classified as a medium to high volatility slot. Base game wins occur with moderate frequency, while the free spins feature concentrates a significant portion of the payout potential through expanding wild mechanics. These characteristics are defined by the game’s internal mathematical model.
All game outcomes are generated using a random number generator (RNG). Each spin and feature event is independent and operates according to fixed probability rules.
