Jane Hunter and The Mask of Montezuma Review

We have traveled all over the world (although mostly to Egypt and South America) with Pragmatic Play’s own Indiana Jones wannabe, John Hunter, and the time has finally come to meet his sister. Not surprisingly, she’s a brave explorer type as well, and she’s looking for whatever her older brother didn’t already find in the Mesoamerican jungle. Jane Hunter and The Mask of Montezuma is not an overwhelming explorer debut for Jane, but solid stuff nonetheless.

You get the typical Aztec visual presentation, with pyramid temples both on the backdrop and on the reels. The Wild symbol depicts the mask in question, we presume, and it pays pretty well in this game. You can win smaller cash prizes in the Pick Game, and also trigger the bonus round. The latter comes with a cash collect system with upgradable cash symbol prizes, and the overall 5,000x potential is pretty decent as well.

Jane Hunter and The Mask of Montezuma Slot Features

The premium symbols, with Jane Hunter as the top-tier symbol, pay between 50 and 200 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. The Wild symbol steps in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins on all 5 of the reels, and it also pays 500x your stake for 5 wilds on the same payline.

You can land the bonus symbol only on reel 5 in the base game, and whenever it lands you trigger the Pick Bonus Game.

You will then see 5 chests on the screen, and you get to pick one of them. This gives you a guaranteed instant cash prize of 2x, 3x, 5x, 7x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 30x, or 40x your stake. It can also trigger the bonus round with 10, 15, or 20 free spins.

You can trigger the Bonus Round by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols as well, and this gives you 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. The 4 premium symbols serve double duty as Money symbols during the feature, and they get assigned with a cash prize value up front. You need a Wild collector symbol in view to collect the money symbol prizes, however.

In addition, the money symbols are collected by their corresponding meters seen above each reel. When you’ve collected the stated number of money symbols per meter, the relevant money symbol value increases as follows:

• Jane - comes with a 10x starting value, and increases by +5 per upgrade.

  

  You need 13 collected symbols at first, and then +3 per upgrade that follows.
• Satchel - comes with a 5x starting value, and increases by +3 per upgrade. You need 11 collected symbols at first, and then +3 per upgrade that follows
• Pick/shovel - comes with a 3x starting value, and increases by +2 per upgrade. You need 9 collected symbols at first, and then +2 per upgrade that follows
• Binoculars - comes with a 2x starting value, and increases by +1 per upgrade. You need 7 collected symbols at first, and then +2 per upgrade that follows

On a final note, non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, may take advantage of the Bonus Buy feature. This will set you back 60x your stake each time, and you are then guaranteed to land at least 3 triggering scatters on the spin that follows.

You get a brief taste of the base game, before we purchase and trigger the bonus round at 0:23 into the 2:18-minute highlights video. We landed 4 triggering scatters, which gave us 15 free spins, and the bonus round plays out for the remainder of the video. You can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Having the explorer spirit run in the family is hardly unheard of in the world of online slots, and John Hunter’s sister, Jane, is seemingly following in his footsteps to perhaps uncover whatever treasures her big brother overlooked. Jane Hunter and The Mask of Montezuma is a pretty typical Pragmatic Play release in most regards, and it’s hardly overwhelming in any way.

It comes with their typical visual experience, and the features are decent without being super engaging.

Being able to win up to 200x (or 500x for wilds) your stake for 5 of a kind wins is not bad, and full screen wins would 10x those numbers. The pick game prizes are not too impressive, so you’ll probably cross your fingers for the bonus round in that feature. The money collect system that’s added to the premium symbols can be seen as a bonus, although upgrading the prizes didn’t seem all that easy. Anyway, you can win up to 5,000x on a good day, but this was not the most memorable debut for this brand new female adventurer.

Pros

• Win up to 500x from 5-oak wins
• Pick Game w/ cash prizes or FS prize
• FS w/ upgradable cash prize premiums
• Win up to 5,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
