Peter Hunter (Peter & Sons) – Review & Demo Play

Pros & Cons of Peter Hunter

Peter Hunter balances playful art with mechanics that keep spins lively. Pros for me: a single target triggers Cash Collect and lays cash values across paths; free spins switch to a 5x5 grid with a guaranteed animal and scatter; top potential reaches 10,000x; default RTP sits at 96.3%. Cons: operators can lower the RTP; base Cash Collect runs without the hunter multiplier, so the punch lands in free spins; volatility leans medium to high, so dry spells happen.

The Peter Hunter Slot Game

I’m dropped into a dense Siberian forest, with thick trees and greenery framing wooden reels. Peter stands to the side with rifle, hat and pipe, kitted out and animated, while dragonflies, frogs and empty bottles add life. The soundtrack goes for twangy country with banjo lead, which sounds odd for the setting yet clicks after a few spins. The overall style is unmistakably Peter & Sons, and the little reactions from Peter made me smile between spins.

Under the art sits a 5x3 layout with 20 fixed paylines. Wins land when three to five matching symbols hit from the left. Bets range from £0.20 up to £100 per spin, so I could set a level that suited my session plan. Wilds sub in on all reels. The interface is tidy, with a clear spin button on the right and bet controls nearby. It ran smoothly on mobile and desktop during my time with it.

Symbols and Payouts in Peter Hunter

Low pays are the card values 10, J, Q, K and A in earthy tones. On five of a kind they pay between 4x and 6x the bet, with A topping the group. For full detail: A pays 0.4x, 1.5x, 6x for 3, 4, 5; K and Q pay 0.25x, 1.25x, 5x; J and 10 pay 0.15x, 1x, 4x. These show up often and help pad the balance while you chase features.

High pays are the animals: Duck, Fox, Moose and Bear. At five of a kind they pay 10x, 15x, 20x and 30x the bet respectively, with 3 and 4 of a kind scaled as 0.5x to 6x depending on symbol. The gold W wild substitutes and shares the Bear’s line pays. The target scatter doesn’t pay but is the key to feature play, as it triggers Cash Collect and fills the meter that leads to free spins.

Peter Hunter Slot Bonus Features

Cash Collect fires whenever a single target scatter lands with animals in view. Each animal becomes a cash icon, then moves step by step along the shortest path to the target, not diagonally. As they travel, they leave cash values per position: Bear 2x stake per step, Moose 1x, Fox 0.4x, Duck 0.2x. When an animal reaches the target, Peter shoots and the trail values are held. After the last arrival, the total is paid.

Free spins arrive after seven collected targets fill the meter, awarding five spins on an expanded 5x5 grid. Every spin guarantees at least one animal and one target. Animals move towards the target as usual. Peter fires during movement; hits apply the current hunter multiplier to that animal’s value, while a miss makes the animal hop to an adjacent tile and continue. Every third hit raises the hunter multiplier by one, which is where momentum can build.

The hunter comes with two random ratings each bonus: Power and Accuracy, both from one to three, which govern how often he shoots and how often he hits. For markets that permit it, a Bonus Buy takes you straight to the feature for 80x the stake, with five free spins and a listed buy-round RTP of 96.1%. It’s not available in the UK, so I played the natural route, where scatter collection felt steady rather than frantic.

How to Win at Peter Hunter Slot

Sitting on five reels and three rows, Peter Hunter pays on 20 fixed lines from the left. Line wins need three to five matching symbols on adjacent reels, with wilds helping complete sets. I tapped the large button on the right to spin and used the plus and minus to set stakes between £0.20 and £100. During free spins the grid shifts to 5x5, but pays are still driven by the moving animals and the target.

Peter Hunter Slot RTP & Volatility

On the numbers side, the default RTP is 96.3%, with alternative settings at 94%, 90.5% or 86% depending on operator. Volatility sits in the medium to high range, and the stated hit frequency is 25.6%, so you’ll see wins fairly often, but the larger ones lean on features. The max win is 10,000x the bet. I always check the help file to see which RTP version is active before I commit longer sessions.

The Final Thoughts on Peter Hunter

I went in for the art, stayed for the movement and left happy with the feature rhythm. The base game’s Cash Collect sets the tone, but without the multiplier it felt like a steady top-up rather than a bank-maker. Free spins are the main event: the 5x5 space, guaranteed animal and target, and the growing hunter multiplier form a neat loop that can accelerate when hits chain together. When the Bear takes a few hits, the totals climb fast.

The style is classic Peter & Sons: quirky, sharp, and full of small touches like shootable bottles. I rate the max potential and pacing, but RTP ranges are a fair caveat, so pick venues that use the top setting where possible. For me, Peter Hunter works as a session slot that rewards patience until the meter pops. When the hunter’s Power and Accuracy roll well, the feature sings; when they don’t, it’s still lively, just more about steady accrual.
