Slot Features

John Hunter and the Mayan Gods is played with a 5-reel, 3-row layout and 10 paylines on which to land winning combinations. A sliver of ruins and jungle scenery peeks out from behind the grid, indicating that Pragmatic has not gone all out with the theme. It is bright, and the Indiana Jones soundtrack from a 1930s matinee adds excitement, but overall it feels a bit rushed.

The splash screen's five lightning bolts indicate that John Hunter and the Mayan Gods is a highly volatile adventure. During testing, there were no doubts about this statistic, as the game both challenged and rewarded players in equal measure. Mayan Gods has a solid RTP, as is typical for Pragmatic Play, with a 96.46% return to player percentage.

Individual line victories are advantageous across the board. Even the low-paying J-A royals, which are tribally patterned and offer payouts of 10 times the wager for five of a kind. Each has an identical value. The premiums consist of cups, knives, rings, a Quetzalcoatl symbol, a king with a plumed headdress, and, of course, John Hunter. The payout for a premium five-of-a-kind is between 20 and 50 times the wager.

Keep an eye out for the gold Mayan mask wildcard. It can activate the Expanding Wilds feature if it appears on any of the three middle reels. When a wild symbol forms a winning combination, it expands to create a wild reel. This may result in three wild reels per spin.

Next, there is the Free Spins feature. This feature is activated when 3, 4, or 5 Mayan temple scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. In addition to a 2, 20, or 50-times-bet payout (for 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols), you will receive 12 free spins.

The feature is progressive, with the reel strips changing as the level increases, beginning at level 1.
