John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches Review
John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches is the fourth game in the John Hunter series of online slot games developed by Pragmatic Play. This high volatility 7x7 cluster says slot features tumbling symbols, cursed wilds, free spins and most importantly a lucrative money collect feature.
Design
After a few years looking for ancient treasure in Egypt John Hunter has swapped the sands of the Egyptian desert for the golden sands of Bermuda.
The game reels are set atop a cliff on a beautiful waterfall that flows down towards the North Atlantic ocean. John Hunter himself stands to the right of the game reels clutching treasure in one hand and a whip in the other. Low paying symbols are card symbols: diamonds, clubs, hearts and spades. High paying symbols include a spyglass, a golden goblet and a bracelet.
This vibrant, visually pleasing adventure-themed slot is everything we'd expect from one of the insanely popular John Hunter series. The soundtrack is triumphant, bold and awe-inspiring... In fact, we'd go as far as to say that the soundtrack made us feel like the main character in a Hollywood movie... It just goes to show how important much of an important role audio plays in a good online slot.
Gameplay
John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches is the first of the John Hunter slots that utilises the cluster pays mechanic. The game is played on a huge 7x7 grid and wins are registered when players land a combination of 5 or more symbols land next to eachother on this grid.
In terms of navigation, this slot is no different to any of the other John Hunter games (or Pragmatic Play games for that matter), there's a hamburger menu, info button, spin button, autoplay and stake selection buttons that run along a transparent action bar at the bottom of the game screen.
Win Potential
This high volatility slot has RTP ranges, however, the base game RTP for most players in the United Kingdom is 96.39%. The maximum payout players can win when playing John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches is 5,000x their stake. During our playthrough of this slot we found that our biggest wins came by way of the Money Collect feature and the Bermuda Riches wheel of fortune.
Our Verdict
We genuinely believe that this is the best John Hunter slot in the entire series. Pragmatic Play has done a fantastic job of combining high volatility cluster pays gameplay with some great bonus features and mechanics such as instant wins, free spins and a truly lucrative collect feature. We've not always been the biggest John Hunter fan in the past, but this slot has won us over!
