The theme of ancient Egypt is a familiar one in online slots, especially in titles featuring the "Book of" mechanic. John Hunter takes players back to the Pyramids of Giza in his quest for hidden artifacts, a setting you're probably well-acquainted with. While the game is visually well-crafted, the aesthetics may come across as somewhat generic, closely resembling those of the original game.

Book of Tut Megaways offers an RTP of 96%, which is fairly average. However, operators have the flexibility to adjust the RTP down to 95.06% or 94.05%.

The maximum win potential is an impressive 10,000 times your stake, and the odds of hitting this jackpot stand at a respectable 1 in 2,607,562 spins.

Book of Tut Megaways Bonuses And Special Features

In contrast to the original John Hunter And The Book of Tut, Book of Tut Megaways introduces the special expanding symbol feature in the base game. Additionally, there's the option to enable the Ante Bet, increasing your chances of triggering the bonus round by adding extra scatter symbols to the reels. However, this comes at a cost of 25% more per spin.

The special expanding symbol is randomly selected during base game play, occurring quite frequently. If enough instances of the chosen symbol appear on any reel, they expand to fill the entire reel, resulting in a full payline win. The expanded reels need not be adjacent for a win, but there's no guarantee of a win just because a special expanding symbol is chosen.

Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols in view rewards you with 3x, 15x, 100x, or 500x your stake, respectively, and triggers the Bonus Round with 10 free spins. The Book opens to select a special expanding symbol for the bonus round, working the same way as in the base game. You can retrigger the bonus round by landing 3 or more scatter symbols on the same free spin.

Eligible players can purchase the bonus feature in Book of Tut Megaways for 100 times their stake. This slightly increases the RTP to 96.06%. The organic hit rate for the bonus round is 1 in 400 spins, which is below average based on our analysis.
