John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen Free Demo & Review
John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen is a Pragmatic Play slot with a 5x3 layout, 25 fixed paylines, medium volatility, a conservative RTP figure of 95.50%, and a verified top win of 10,500x. The demo is useful because this is not just another left-to-right Egyptian slot: money scarabs, five Collect symbol effects, free spins, retriggers, and a final free-spins respin all matter. Ontario players should treat the demo as practice only, then use real-money play only at casinos registered with AGCO and operating through iGaming Ontario.
Who Should Play John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen
01
The 25 paylines are fixed, so changing stake size changes the total wager without switching lines on or off.
02
The wild is useful but limited, since it appears only on reels 2 to 5 and cannot replace money, Collect, or scatter symbols.
03
The Collect symbol needs reel 5, while the money symbols it works with appear on reels 1 to 4.
04
Free spins can retrigger in sets of 8, and the final respin is tied to the money values collected during that feature.

How to Play John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen
Set the total stake
Use the bet controls to choose the total wager before each spin. The game uses 25 fixed paylines, so all lines stay active; the verified stake range runs from 0.25 to 125 per spin, with currency depending on the casino.
Spin the 25 lines
Press spin to play the 5x3 reel set. Regular symbols pay left to right on adjacent reels from reel 1, and the Scarab Queen wild can appear on reels 2 to 5 to replace standard paying symbols, but not scatters, money symbols, or Collect symbols.
Watch the scarabs
Money symbols can land on reels 1 to 4, and a Collect symbol on reel 5 activates one of the collect effects. Three pyramid scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4 trigger 8 free spins, with another 8 spins added if the same scatter set lands again during the feature.
Collect the feature value
Collect effects can pay visible money symbols, increase their values, apply a multiplier, expand money coverage, or respin. In free spins, money symbols are gathered into a pot, then the final respin gives reel 5 one last chance to land a Collect symbol and award that stored value.
