In 2018, Pragmatic Play launched an online video slot called DaVincis Treasure. It was so successful with players that it spawned a 2019 sequel called John Hunter and the Aztec Treasure. Players familiar with DaVincis Treasure will recognize the character of John Hunter from that game.
Graphics & Symbols
With plain 2D graphics, John Hunter and the Aztec Treasures doesn’t offer players much to look at. There is essentially no background scene in this game, as the reels take up all the available space. The symbols seen on the reels are John Hunter, a torch, panther, hat w/lasso, a snake, and a parrot.
The premise of the game is that John is embarking on another treasure hunt, just as he did in Da Vincis Treasures. This time his adventure involves searching the Aztec.
Bonus Features
Three or more of the scatter symbols on the reels at once randomly rewards players with a certain amount of free spins. For example, three scatter symbols can get players anywhere from five to 25 free spins. Four can get them anywhere from 10 to 25 spins for free.
While free spins are being played, at random times multipliers are added to the reels. If scatter symbols appear on the reels during free spins, more free spins are rewarded. The multipliers are worth anywhere from two times to 10 times the amount of a player’s bet on the previous spin.
If players get two scatter symbols on the reels during free spins they win anywhere from three to 15 additional spins for free. Three scatters gets them four to 15 additional free spins. Four scatters get players anywhere from five to 15 spins for free and five scatter symbols get players either 10 or 15 more spins for free.

Overall Verdict and Final Thoughts
Players may be invested in John Hunter and the Aztecs if they enjoyed DaVincis Treasure. Otherwise, the game doesn’t have a huge appeal for the casual player who has never heard of John Hunter, the character.
A lack of spectacular graphics mean all this game has to fall back on is its bonus features. While this may be enough to get many players to keep spinning the reels, it is no guarantee of future success.
Though this game is not the most exciting or energetic ever, players can add some pizzazz to it. By pressing the space button on their keyboard they can turn on turbo mode. This means that the reels spin much faster than they would otherwise. For players who are pressed for time, this can be a huge benefit. In that respect, John Hunter and the Aztec Treasure will satisfy many players.
