Our take
Pragmatic Play's 7×7 cluster-pays adventure with 95.50% RTP, high volatility, 5,000× max win, and a money-symbol collection system with multipliers.
John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches marks the explorer's first appearance on a cluster-pays grid, departing from his established payline-based adventures. The 7×7 layout uses cluster mechanics, where groups of matching symbols anywhere on the grid form wins, triggering cascades that remove winning symbols and drop new ones.
The game introduces animated John Hunter beside the reels, adding visual context to the narrative. Cursed wilds appear randomly during play, and each arrives with a multiplier determined at spawn. These wilds substitute for regular symbols and multiply any wins they complete. Money symbols land with Collect icons that can upgrade payouts with additional credits, multipliers, or extra spins, creating layered bonus opportunities.
The tumbling-reels cascade system means a single spin can generate multiple consecutive wins as symbols fall to fill gaps. Free spins are triggered through scatters, and during these rounds, the money-symbol mechanic becomes more active. The 95.50% RTP is solid for a high-volatility cluster-pays title, and the 5,000× maximum reflects the win potential when cascades and multipliers align. The tropical island setting and animated John Hunter give the slot personality, elevating it above generic cluster offerings.

FAQ
What's the difference between cursed wilds and regular wilds?
Cursed wilds arrive with a random multiplier that boosts any win they participate in. Regular wins use the base symbol values, whilst cursed wilds amplify them.
How does the money-symbol system work?
Money symbols landing with nearby Collect icons can unlock modifiers: extra credits, multipliers for subsequent wins, or additional free spins. Collecting multiple money symbols stacks these benefits.
Can cascades chain indefinitely?
Cascades continue until no new matches form after symbols fall. Large cascades can accumulate substantial payouts through consecutive wins from a single initial spin.
