Understanding the slot specifications
- Max Win
- The payout ceiling in the game rules, usually a bet multiplier. It is a limit, not a typical outcome.
- RTP
- The theoretical return over a very large number of rounds. A game may have different RTP versions; the percentage does not predict a session.
- Volatility
- The spread of outcomes. High volatility generally means sharper swings; it does not by itself increase RTP.
- Bonus buy
- Paid access to a bonus feature without waiting for the regular trigger. Price and availability depend on the game and version.
- Ante Bet
- A higher cost per regular spin for a changed chance of triggering a feature. This is a separate mode, rather than a bonus-round purchase.
- Respins
- Additional spins that may retain some symbols or accumulated conditions. The exact behaviour follows the slot rules.
John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen — game overview
In Tomb of the Scarab Queen, John Hunter stores cash values for a final Collect respin.
What happens to the stored values
John Hunter explores the Egyptian tomb of the Scarab Queen, where finds carry cash values. The adventure distinguishes discovering treasure from collecting it. Symbols can prepare a large amount, with a separate Collect action governing its eventual collection.
Money symbols interact with Collect and effects that can raise values, multiply them or grant a respin, alongside the ordinary 25 paylines.
Feature cash values enter a reserve. After free spins, that reserve becomes a giant money symbol across reels 1–4. Collect on reel five is needed to pay it in the final respin. A large reserve and a settled cash award therefore describe different stages.

Bonus features
Three scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 award 8 free spins; the same combination adds another 8. All arriving money values enter a pot. After the feature, that pot becomes a giant money symbol on reels 1–4, paid by the final respin only if Collect lands on reel five.
The final respin is a distinct stage after the sequence. Free spins developed the reserve; the game now checks whether it can be collected. This explains why the giant value occupies several reels while the decisive collector uses the remaining fifth reel.
