As is the case with just about every slot game adventurer, be it Gonzo or Rich Wilde, they all come with a sketchy backstory – at best. The point is that John Hunter can move freely between Egyptian tombs, Aztec temples, lost cities, and Renaissance mysteries without dragging a whole load of lore behind him.
Whichever slot you find him in, you can expect Indiana Jones levels of adventure and the obligatory fedora, but in terms of outfit and experience, he’ll be able to blend right in with his surroundings.
Look Out For Jane Hunter: Jane Hunter is John’s sister and she’s not afraid of a little peril. You’ll find her in Jane Hunter and the Mask of Montezuma, but we don’t think that’ll be her only adventure.
What Makes a John Hunter Slot?
One of the real strengths of this series is its variety. You’ll find slots with everything from low to very high volatility, more restrained max wins up to those in excess of 10,000x the bet. This means that if you like the adventure slot genre, you’ll probably be able to find a John Hunter slot to suit you and your bankroll/play style.
The only constant amongst John Hunter slots – and indeed much of the Pragmatic Play catalogue – is that they have a consistently solid RTP, generally hovering around 96.5%.
Our Top Picks from the John Hunter Series
The John Hunter series has had some blockbusters, but there are some games that still manage to stand out from the rest. Below are two of our ultimate choices for those looking for the quintessential John Hunter experience (and the chance to shoot for some huge prizes).
A brand new mechanic was introduced for this slot by developers, Pragmatic Play. 5 reels with 10 paylines with the addition of a respin mechanic quickly made this high volatility slot popular with John Hunter’s legion of fans upon release. An RTP of 96.5% was equally as welcome to players.
This one features a lofty 96.51% RTP alongside a decent 5,000x max win and a fun cluster pays mechanic. For a series that sticks almost religiously to the classic 5x5 grid with traditional paylines setup, this is a welcome departure. Throw in a fun theme and a valuable money collect feature and this is an adventure you won’t want to miss out on.
If You Liked John Hunter, You’ll Love…
If you’re as eagle-eyed as our beloved adventurer John Hunter, then you may have noticed a couple of names come up already. Below are two adventurous characters with their own famous slot series.
Gonzo’s Quest Series: Introducing avalanche mechanics and progressive multipliers, if you like exploration themes but want something more mechanically unpredictable, we recommend this NetEnt favourite.
Rich Wilde Series: This series is much more narrative heavy. Expect a whole host of family members, as well as generally higher volatility.
