Pragmatic Play Takes Gamers on a Wild Adventure in the Latest John Hunter Video Slot

Renowned iGaming software developer Pragmatic Play has just unveiled its newest video slot titled John Hunter and the Mayan Gods, following hot on the heels of their previous release set in Ancient Greece. This fifth installment in the John Hunter series transports players to the lush jungles of Central America.

Players will navigate a 3-reel, 5-row grid with 10 paylines as they join an intrepid explorer in search of the elusive Temple scatter symbol. Landing five standard symbols can increase winnings by up to 10x, while higher-paying symbols such as a ring, dagger, and goblet can amplify stakes by up to 20-50x when landed in sets of five. Three scatter symbols will activate the extra spins round, with a maximum payout potential of an impressive 2,500x total bet.
