Johnan Legendarian (Yggdrasil Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Johnan Legendarian: Slot Overview

Peter & Sons bring that cartoony look and quirky audio-visuals to Johnan Legendarian, but the gameplay leans on the ever-growing Book of range without the usual Egypt trappings. It's a 5-reel, 5x3 slot with 10 paylines, framed by a tale of heroes, villains, and the book of Algroth. You follow Johnan on a quest for lost cities, battling mythical creatures along the way. I liked how the vibe feels fresh while keeping familiar mechanics at the core.

Released via Yggdrasil's YGS Masters programme, it runs bets from 10p to 50 a spin, with RTP posted at 96.03% and volatility set high. It's a patient game by design since Super Free Spins take time to land, yet a 34.68% hit frequency keeps base play ticking over. I found the flow fair for a high-risk slot, especially when the scatter collector nudges forward. When it heats up, the feature set can snowball fast and carry a session.

Johnan Legendarian - Game details

The paytable in Johnan Legendarian sticks to 10 to A royals for lows, then bows and arrows, swords, a warthog, and a dragon for premiums. Lows need at least three of a kind to score, while premiums can pay from two up. Values on the top symbols range from 50x to 200x the bet for five of a kind, which is lighter than some games in this family. Oddly, Johnan himself is absent from the paytable.

There are 10 paylines on the 5x3 layout, with wins landing left to right on regular spins. The scarecrow-looking symbol acts as a scatter, while wilds also appear in the mix. During features, the chosen symbol can expand and pay from any position, which changes the way lines matter. Single spin payouts on premiums may look modest, yet the overall potential sits high for this style of game, so the balance makes sense once bonuses bite.

Johnan Legendarian: Slot Features

Three scatters bring 10 free spins, and one regular pay symbol is picked to act as a special expanding symbol. When enough of those land to form a win, they expand to cover their reels after line wins pay out. These expanded wins pay from any position, so adjacency no longer applies for the chosen symbol. It's the classic core seen in this range, and it stays faithful while looking and sounding sharper than most.

Retriggers add another expanding symbol but reset free spins back to 10 in the regular feature, which can grate when momentum is building. There's a scatter collector as well: whenever exactly two scatters land, they collect on a meter. Bank 385 pairs and you trigger 10 Super Free Spins. In this mode, retriggers add +10 extra spins rather than resetting, while all other rules match the standard feature. The contrast gives the super round a different flow.

During testing figures, the progress bar moved by roughly 4 to 5% every 100 spins, which lines up with the stated hit rate to Super Free Spins of 1 in 2,115. That means a grind across stretches, but the 34.68% overall hit frequency keeps small wins coming. I paced stakes to ride out downswings, then pressed when the meter looked close. When the screen fills with expanders, it can go off in a hurry and set a session right.

Johnan Legendarian: Slot Verdict

At a fundamental level, not much is new, yet Peter & Sons avoid a straight copy and deliver a nicely playable Ra slot with plenty of personality. Symbols aren't as valuable as some peers, so single-spin peaks feel lower, but overall potential hits 20,000 times the bet, which is hefty for the genre. The reset on regular free spins can irritate, though Super Free Spins fix that when they arrive. I keep coming back for the art, sound, and pace.
