John Hunter in Ancient Rome

John Hunter in Antica Roma is a slot machine released by Pragmatic Play exclusively for the Italian market. The slot, with a theme dear to Italy, is a true tribute to what was the greatest Empire in the world and offers a majestic 7x7 grid. Wins occur through cluster pays, so you can form combinations ranging from 5 to 15+ symbols of the same type. Bets start from a minimum of 0.20 and go up to 100x, with a maximum prize of 5,000x the initial bet. The volatility is high, while the RTP is calculated at 96.50%.

Theme and Graphics

A slot focused on adventure and Ancient Rome could only be set in the key symbol that immediately evokes the era: the Colosseum. In the world's most famous arena, the larger-than-usual grid is positioned, showing icons like horses, chariots, weapons, and other symbols typical of the context. On the right side of the grid, John Hunter proudly follows the gaming sessions, while in the background you can see the Roman people divided (as was customary in those times) between commoners on the left and nobility on the right. This detail shows the attention Pragmatic Play pays to every context they choose for their titles.

The soundtrack inspires adventure, reminiscent of Indiana Jones film melodies, while the animations manage to keep attention alive, spin after spin.

Bonus Features

Tumble Feature: every time a winning combination is formed, the symbols are removed from the grid so that others fall from above, giving the possibility to form new paying groups. The feature ends when no more paying clusters are formed.

Multipliers: when symbols explode (after participating in a winning combination) and are replaced, they mark their occupied position. If another tumble occurs exactly on that position, the game adds multiplier bonuses for subsequent cascades. Multipliers range from a minimum of 2x to a maximum of 128x.

Scatter and Free Spins: getting 3 to 7 Scatters on the grid can win you 10 to 30 free spins. Getting the same number of bonus symbols a second time reactivates the corresponding number of Free Spins. During the entire feature, multipliers remain on screen, without resetting to 0 between spins.

Buy Bonus: you can immediately access the Free Spins feature by purchasing it for a cost equal to 100x the initial bet.

Author's Opinion on John Hunter in Ancient Rome

As an Italian, I can't help but appreciate Pragmatic Play's choice to pay tribute to one of my country's most well-known symbols. And I like even more that they did it by including well-researched and thought-out details in the graphics. The graphics are excellent, as is the music that invites action, because we must not forget that the game's protagonist is still an adventurer!

The bonus bundle, for the software house, can be considered classic and ensures sufficiently dynamic gameplay. No surprises, therefore, from this point of view, as well as for the RTP and volatility which, combined, offer one of the software house's typical standard products. The real strength of this slot, therefore, lies in its setting. The maximum possible win is also average.
