Pragmatic Play, a leading iGaming content provider, has introduced John Hunter and Galileo’s Secrets, the newest entry in its popular John Hunter series. This slot blends mystery symbols with money respins, offering players a chance to win up to 5,000x their bet.
Set on a 5×3 grid adorned with telescopes, globes, and maps, the game features mystery symbols that can cover entire reels. These symbols transform into matching icons for bigger payouts or into money symbols that help unlock the respin feature.
Activating the respin feature requires landing at least six money symbols. Players start with three respins, which reset each time a new money symbol appears. When respins are exhausted or the grid is completely filled, all accumulated cash values are paid out.
The bonus game is triggered by landing three book scatters, awarding an initial eight free spins. Before the round begins, a random symbol is chosen as the mystery symbol, determining whether the feature starts at the Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Super level. Players can also gamble for a chance to upgrade to a higher-tier mystery symbol.
During free spins, mystery symbols expand to cover full reels, and additional scatters are collected in a meter. Every four scatters upgrade the bonus level, introduce a new mystery symbol, and grant two extra spins.
Super level free spins can be achieved through level upgrades or by landing a super scatter during the triggering spin. In this tier, the mystery symbol is always a money symbol, enhancing the odds of activating the respin feature.
John Hunter and Galileo’s Secrets expands Pragmatic Play’s acclaimed slot portfolio, joining recent releases like Wild Wildebeest Wins, Bigger Bass Splash, and Ancient Island Megaways™.
