What Is John Hunter and the Book of Tut Megaways?

John Hunter and the Book of Tut Megaways is Pragmatic’s book-meets-ways hybrid: cascading Megaways with expanding free-spin symbols, high volatility, a ~96.50% RTP band, and a 13,000× max-win class.

Expanding book symbols remain the readable upside path inside ways chaos. Ceiling sits between Madame Destiny Megaways’ 10,000× and many 20,000× peers.

Compare with Book of Dead and Power of Thor Megaways, then confirm the cash RTP panel on a Top 10 brand before you raise stakes.

How John Hunter and the Book of Tut Megaways Works

  1. Each spin can change the number of ways on the Megaways reel set. Cascading wins remove paying symbols and drop new ones for chained evaluations.
  2. Free spins choose (or reveal) an expanding special symbol in the book tradition. Exact expand rules sit in the paytable — read them once.
  3. The 13,000× ceiling is the listed class in our catalog. Treat it as a rare top, not a session expectation.
  4. High-vol ways droughts are normal. Confirm ~96.50% on the cash panel before you raise stakes.
