John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches Pragmatic Play slot review with free demo

At first I thought it was the slot game John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches with the Megaways feature, but it turned out not to be, although I really liked the individual mechanic. The only thing that bothered me was that with a large number of ways it’s hard to hit 3 scatters for the bonus and sometimes you get 5-6 plays and the extra scatter doesn’t drop. The slot has a low return of 95.5%, and in casinos these numbers are even lower – I rarely saw anything above 94%. Regarding the max payout, lately the provider often sets it at x5000. The bonus games in the slot are interesting because wins are collected by landing special chests; not only can they come with shared multipliers, but that’s not all because all collected wins accumulate and after the bonus spins end you can take the entire accumulated win. When I was playing actively I managed to hit big payouts of x850 and x1200 a couple of times, but there were also frequent wins around x200-x350. I don’t recommend getting into this slot with a small balance, because most often it won’t trigger the bonus earlier than after 100 spins.

John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches, I ran several sessions to understand the game mechanics. Minimum bet is 20 rubles per spin, the game is played on a 7 by 7 symbol grid. In the base game wild symbols and coin symbols with monetary values appear. To win you need to form a cluster of five or more identical symbols, after which combinations cascade and new symbols fall into their places. Big wins in the base game are rare, if you don’t count the coins. To collect a coin value you also need to catch a «collect» symbol, and sometimes special collect symbols appear – multipliers, extra symbols, and others. Thanks to this I got base wins around 30-50 bets, more often the result was lower. Bonus spins are triggered by three or more scatter symbols or can be bought for 100 bets. The bonus gives 12 spins, they play with the usual mechanics, but all coins that land are added to a separate bank. After the spins there is a simple wheel bonus where you can either get the accumulated bank or be left only with the spins’ wins. For me this triggered rarely, usually the bank stayed empty. Overall the mechanics are interesting, you can see how cascades, coins and collect symbols work. Big wins don’t happen often, my best result was about 200x, and average bonus spin wins were around 30x-50x. The game runs smoothly, the logic of all features is clear, although significant results require luck.

John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches – is essentially kind of like Cash Patrul but only loosely and in function rather than as the actual slot!

In the Bonus you need to catch money and collector chests – and then you’ll collect all the money that’s on the reels! But the collect chests aren’t always ordinary, they have different functions, there’s EXTRA COLLECT and various collects that scatter extra chests or money! So it turns out pretty decent – but I’ll say right away the money denominations are quite small.

The most interesting thing is that even if the chests aren’t collected they still accumulate the money that dropped and at the end of each bonus there’s a chance that you’ll take that money!

Of course it’s very rare to take that money – at best once every five bonuses and not always! In Cash Patrul the money drops more often + there they can be under a multiplier, but here they can’t.

If I had to choose between two similar slots – I’d pick Cash Patrul! Because I won much more in it than in Bermuda.. and I wouldn’t recommend buying bonuses here because they just don’t pay off at all.
