Game mechanics
Base-game wins in John Hunter and the Secrets of Da Vinci's Treasure are straightforward line pays: matching symbols from the leftmost reel across any of the 25 fixed paylines, with a wild standing in for regular symbols. On its own the 5x3 base game is fairly quiet — this is a slot built around its bonuses.
The bonus side is where the treasure hunt happens: scatter-triggered features that bring free spins with progressive multipliers, plus instant cash prizes. The top RTP configuration is 96.53%, though operators can also run 96.01% or 95.01% versions, and the volatility is high — long stretches of little, then the bonus does the heavy lifting towards that 48,000x cap.
Features
- Wild symbol. The wild substitutes for the regular pay symbols, helping complete line wins across the 25 paylines.
- Free spins. The scatter-triggered bonus round awards free spins, where the game's biggest wins are concentrated.
- Progressive multipliers. Multipliers climb as the bonus round progresses, which is what makes the 48,000x maximum win mathematically reachable.
