John Hunter and the Da Vinci’s Treasure

Da Vinci’s Treasure Introduction

Da Vinci’s Treasure does not appear to stick out in any particular way. It’s got the typical characteristics of a Pragmatic slot and a setup of 5 reels3 rows and 25 pay lines. The game takes bets ranging from €0.25 up to a maximum of €125 and is delivered with a 96.53% theoretical return to player. It should be pointed out, however, that Pragmatic, just like Play’n GO, Novomatic, and many other providers, allow operators (casinos) to choose a different RTP setting, so always make sure to take a look at which version you’re playing. It could potentially be as low as 90.04%.

Before anyone reacts in outrage to this – adjustments may sometimes be necessary depending on market of operation. Some off-shore casinos might, of course, take advantage of this, which is why we only promote the best online casinos in the industry. Also, Pragmatic Play (and Play’n GO) are fully transparent about this fact, which is more than what can be said about many other providers.

Rich Wilde or John Hunter?

Regarding the theme of the slot, we think you’ve seen it before. Yes, it’s another “book of” concept game. But as you will see, it’s far from a clone and has enough meat to stand on its own two legs. Funny side note – for a while we were led astray by a debate regarding the looks of the main character John Hunter, and whether or not he’s more handsome than Rich Wilde (Book of Dead). What do you think? Comment below (lol).

Da Vinci’s Treasure Symbols

First of all, a round of applause to Pragmatic Play for designing an easy to understand paytable! It not only makes our job more comfortable but also helps to avoid confusion for players. There’s nothing worse than having to calculate perplex coin values related to bet lines and whatnot. Ban that **** from all slots!

So what you see here are the standard low-value card suit symbols, as well as 5 premiums represented by crossbows, some weird looking object we can’t identify, knapsacks, books, and our main man, John Hunter. He’s, of course, the top symbol, worth 32 times the stake for 5 across a full pay line.

The wild symbol, which carries an image of Leonardo Da Vinci, only appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Da Vinci’s Treasure Bonus Features

There are 3 bonus features included in the game, 2 of which are low potential features, likely only added to spice up the game with some diversity. All features, including the free spins, can be activated by landing 3 bonus symbols on the middle reels. When this happens, one of the following 3 bonus features will be randomly awarded:

  • Map Quest Feature – progress on a treasure map made up of 23 squares. By spinning the wheel, you either move forward on the map while collecting incremental prizes, or the game ends. Reaching the goal and a 100x win is awarded.
  • Prize Picker – choose one of 3 paintings to reveal a cash prize.
  • Progressive Multiplier Free Spins – this is the one you will want to trigger, and for good reasons. Land this feature and you will benefit from 12 free spins with a multiplier increasing by 1 on each spin. This means that by the final spin you can look forward to a 12x multiplier, and with the chance of re-triggering the bonus with up to 60 free spins, you can potentially reach a 60x multiplier. In that scenario, the maximum win potential of 48,000 times the stake becomes a reality.
