John Hunter and Galileo’s Secrets by Pragmatic Play is a high-octane adventure slot, following the popular John Hunter series but with a fresh twist—this time, it’s all about Galileo and his secrets of the universe. The game combines exploration, discovery, and treasure hunting, offering players an exciting mix of archaeology and science.
The 5×3 grid offers 25 fixed paylines, and while the base game is simple with symbols representing Galileo’s discoveries, the true action lies in the Free Spins feature. Trigger the feature with three scatter symbols (the telescope), and you’ll enter the free spins round with multiplier wilds. These wilds increase your chances of big wins, especially when they land during the expanding symbols feature.
During Free Spins, certain symbols can expand to cover full reels, leading to massive line payouts. Multiplier wilds also increase the payout of winning lines, pushing the win potential higher, especially if you’re lucky enough to land expanding symbols with high values.
The x10,000 max win is the highlight, offering high-stakes action for players chasing big rewards, but it’s important to note that the RTP of 96.53% is just slightly above average, and the high volatility means that payouts can be scarce between the big wins. The no bonus buy option in many regions may also slow down the action for some players, requiring patience to reach the bonus rounds.
The visuals are top-notch, with detailed symbols that represent Galileo’s scientific equipment, along with a backdrop full of ancient maps and mystical treasures. The sound design immerses you in the adventurous mood, bringing the ancient world of science and discovery to life.
