What is John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches?

Think of it as a friendly ocean adventure. Pragmatic Play brought it out in October 2021, and it stars John Hunter, an explorer who pops up across a whole family of slots. This one heads off to the mysterious Bermuda Triangle in search of sunken treasure. Instead of the usual left-to-right lines, you win by landing groups of five or more matching symbols that touch each other — up, down, or side to side. Get a group, get paid. Simple as that.

Here’s the honest bit up front: it’s a high-volatility game, which just means wins can arrive in bunches with quiet spells in between. Top prize is 5,000x your stake — not the biggest out there, but a genuinely nice payday if you catch a good run.

How to play John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches

You’ll be up and spinning in under a minute. Pick your bet with the plus and minus buttons (anywhere from 0.20 to 100), hit spin, and let the grid do its thing. You don’t need to choose lines or memorise anything — the game spots winning clusters for you. Our one gentle tip for beginners: tap open the info screen first and check the RTP, because a few casinos use a slightly lower-paying version.

The tumble feature (this bit’s fun)

Whenever you win, those symbols vanish and new ones tumble down to fill the space — completely free. If the fresh batch makes another win, off it goes again. One spin can turn into a lovely little chain of wins, and it costs you nothing extra. It’s easily the most satisfying part of casual play.

Features & bonus round

There are two kinds of wilds to cheer for. Tiki wilds stand in for other symbols to help complete a cluster, and cursed wilds do the same but come with a handy 2x multiplier — so wins they help build get doubled. You’ll also spot treasure chests (Money symbols) with cash values printed on them, plus Collect symbols that scoop those values up when they land together. That’s the Money Collect feature, and it’s where things get exciting.

Land three or more scatters and you’re off to the free spins, which start with 12 spins and keep the Money and Collect features switched on the whole time. Grab five or more scatters and you’ll retrigger for even more. Don’t worry if the base game feels slow at first — the bonus is really what you’re playing towards, so hang in there.

Graphics, sound & theme

It’s bright, colourful and easy on the eye. The Bermuda setting gives you sun-soaked waters and glittering treasure, the tumbling symbols move smoothly, and there’s a cheery adventure soundtrack bubbling away in the background. Nothing about it is intimidating, which is exactly what you want when you’re still finding your feet. Whether you’re on your phone or laptop, it looks and plays lovely.
