Hugo

Hugo review

Play’n GO are the brains behind the Hugo slot.

If you’ve never heard of Hugo, he is a friendly little troll character based on the 90s children’s interactive TV series that was hugely popular in Scandinavian countries, but not that well-known in the UK.

Still, the game looks like fun, and we are excited to try it out as soon as it’s released on the 23rd of August 2016.

Let’s see what kind of features we’re going to find in the new slot and check which online casinos are ready to offer it first.

Hugo slot features

In this 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 pay lines slot your main aim is to save Hugoline, the wife of Hugo, from the clutches of evil monster and hopefully find some treasures along the way too.

The four higher paying symbols are bags full of gold, digging sticks, dynamite and some golden nuggets, while the lower paying symbols are your typical card values of 10, J, Q, K and A.

Hugo himself acts as a Wild that substitutes other symbols and doubles your winning payouts.

The treasure chest is a bonus symbol that appears on the first, third and fifth reel and triggers the bonus game.

Once the feature starts, you are transferred into a gold mine, where you have to open the doors in the hope to get to the treasure chamber safely while avoiding the Don Croco.

If all goes well, you will receive some nice cash prizes here with the highest one paying 150 times your stake.

Hugo slot free spins

The Play N’Go developers didn’t forget to include everyone’s favourite Free Spins feature here. To activate it, you need to land at least 3 of the Evil Witch Afskylia scatter symbols. There are 3 free spins options available for you to choose from, each one with an additional Hugoline scatter.

• 5 free spins with each extra scatter paying x3 your stake
• 10 free spins with each extra scatter paying x2 your stake
• 15 free spins with each extra scatter paying x1 your stake

The feature can be retriggered, and if the Wild Hugo symbol makes a part of the winning combo, your payout will be multiplied by two.

Hugo slot min/max bets, jackpot and volatility

You can play Hugo slot with a minimum bet of 10p and a maximum bet of £100 and get an opportunity to score a maximum winning amount of 10,000 your bet. The game has a medium volatility of 6 out of 10 and a decent return to player percentage of 96.4%.

Hugo slot graphics and sounds

The game calls out all those people who grew up with the cute and friendly Hugo character who always fights evil and tries to save his family.

The game uses the graphics and characters from the original franchise so that the players can easily relate to it.

The slot does look overly cutesy and childish at times, but that’s not something we worry about.

Hugo slot – our conclusion

Surely people in more than 40 countries worldwide who have watched the TV cartoon, read the books and played video games based on the Hugo adorable troll character will enjoy this slot a lot.

But with a good number of free spins, decent winning possibilities, and an excellent treasure chest feature, there is something for everyone, even if you’ve never heard about Hugo before.
