Review of Hugo Slot
“Hugo” is an online slot game by Play ‘n Go, themed around a television character from the 90’s of the same name.
Slot Theme
“Hugo” is a mining troll cartoon character, introduced to TV screens by the Danes in the early 1990’s. His adventures against Scylla the Witch and Dan Croco have finally transitioned over onto the online gaming arena.
Help our troll mine out a fortune in gold, and share the rewards. Fend for your life in the rescuing of Hugoline (Hugo’s love) from the clutches of the evil hag and the repayment could end up invaluable.
This beautifully designed game is set on reels framed amidst the trees of a forest, where this cartoon adventure plays out in full splendour.
Symbols and Soundtrack
A rather delightful and involving little soundtrack accompanies each reel spin, accentuating the animated action of the offering. Combined with the lovely developed graphics, which are a standard feature with Play ‘ n Go’s brand image, we are presented with a rather gripping game of mining, mischief, and the odd bit of mayhem.
Reel symbols are all thematically related, with icons including: A pickaxe, sticks of dynamite, a large gold nugget, and a bag of gold.
There are a few bonus symbols too, including a variety of scatters in the form of Scylla the Witch who triggers the free spins; a treasure chest, triggering the pick bonus mini-game; and finally, an image of Hugoline, the bonus scatter that pays out big in the free spins feature. The ‘wild’ symbol in the game is that of our little hero, Hugo, himself. He will substitute for any symbol except for bonus symbols and scatters, and should a winning combination include him, he will double the ordinary payout amount.
Bonus Features
This slot offers 2 gripping bonus feature games:
Free Spins Bonus Feature
Should you land 3 Scylla scatters anywhere in sight, you will trigger the free spins game. Initially you will need to choose from 3 options before the spins begin:
5 free spins + each Hugoline Scatter pays 3X total bet
10 free spins + each Hugoline Scatter pays 2X total bet
15 free spins + each Hugoline Scatter pays 1X total bet
Each free spin will come with at least one Hugoline scatter, ensuring wins, but the real treat kicks in when she arrives stacked on the reels.
Hugo Pick Mini-Game
Trigger this feature by landing 3 treasure chests anywhere on reels 1, 3, and 5.
Once in the mini-game, you will need to progressively work your way through several levels of gold mining adventure in search of the treasure chest. Successful picks will both earn you cash wins and advancement to the next level, but beware of Dan Coco, because one pick of him will end this feature.
Summary of Hugo Slot
There is fun to be had in this slot. Both the free spins game, and the Hugo pick mini-game can be rather lucrative, and pay you great dividends. The graphics and feel of the game is really inviting and should appeal to those of you that like cartoon styled offerings. Give Hugo the chance of mining out a treasure-filled reward for you today.
