How Da Vinci's Treasure plays
The grid is five columns of three symbols, and every spin is read across 25 paylines. Pragmatic Play filled the reels with Da Vinci’s inventions, so the game feels more like a workshop the explorer has slipped into than a museum gallery.
One symbol carries most of the weight. The Codex is the key to everything that sets this game apart: when three of them land, the bonus features become available.
Map Quest
Map Quest turns the bonus into a board game. John Hunter starts at one end of a map with 23 points, and a wheel of fortune is spun to decide how far he moves. The launch material framed the round as spinning to advance towards the larger prizes further along the route.
Prize Picker
Prize Picker is settled by a single choice. Da Vinci’s paintings are laid out, each hiding a prize value, and the one you pick is revealed as an instant win. Pragmatic Play sums it up as discovering clues in Da Vinci’s art.
Progressive Multiplier Free Spins
The free spins round is built around one moving number. The win multiplier goes up by 1x with every free spin played, so later spins in the round carry a higher multiplier than the opening ones.
Gamble
When a bonus round ends, Da Vinci’s Treasure offers a gamble on the result. You pick a multiplier between 2x and 5x and then choose from a set of boxes. A correct choice multiplies the winnings from that round, while a wrong one loses them.
Da Vinci's Treasure compared with John Hunter and the Book of Tut
The explorer appeared again in 2020 in John Hunter and the Book of Tut, and the two games take very different routes to a bonus. The Egyptian sequel keeps to one free spins round: three or more Book of Tut symbols start 10 free spins, and a symbol picked at random expands to cover its reel. Da Vinci’s Treasure splits its Codex trigger across a map, a painting pick and multiplier free spins, then adds a gamble. The sequel also drops from 25 paylines to 10.
| Game | Released | Grid and lines | Bonus route |
|---|---|---|---|
| John Hunter and the Book of Tut | 2020 | 5 reels, 3 rows, 10 paylines | Book symbols start 10 free spins with one expanding symbol |
| Da Vinci's Treasure | 2018 | 5 reels, 3 rows, 25 paylines | Three Codex symbols unlock a map quest, a painting pick and multiplier free spins |

Frequently asked questions
Why does Da Vinci's Treasure have two names?
Pragmatic Play launched it in 2018 as Da Vinci’s Treasure, the name used in its launch release. The studio’s game page now gives the full title, John Hunter and the secrets of Da Vinci’s Treasure, which ties it openly to the John Hunter series and puts the explorer’s name first.
Who is John Hunter in Da Vinci's Treasure?
He is the recurring explorer of Pragmatic Play’s adventure slots. Here he is on the trail of Da Vinci’s secrets, and he is the figure the wheel moves around the map in Map Quest. The studio brought him back in 2019 for John Hunter and the Aztec Treasure, introducing that game as the return of the hero from Da Vinci’s Treasure.
How do you reach the bonus rounds in Da Vinci's Treasure?
Three Codex symbols unlock them. Behind that single trigger sit three quite different rounds: a walk around a map driven by a wheel, a one-pick prize from Da Vinci’s paintings, and free spins with a climbing multiplier. Whichever round you play, it can be followed by the optional box-picking gamble on its winnings.
