Hugo Slot Review

Say hello to Hugo – the troll from the popular Danish cartoon. Hugo is quite a celeb, not only has he had an animated film released on him – but now Play ‘n Go, the Swedish slots creators have designed an exciting slot machine on him. Unlike the television show, you can win up to 100,000 coins by playing this highly animated slot game.

Head into the heart of the forest to where Hugo lives, this is where you will be able to greet the friendly troll and accompany him on his journey to win lots of cash. You will encounter characters and symbols that you’d expect to find within his television show – but not only that, there are wilds, scatters, free spins, a bonus game and a 2,000x multiplier non-progressive jackpot.

Cute but Evil Theme

Despite there being a cute theme on offer with the Higo slot machine, there is an element of evil too – the black-haired witch character can scare the pants off Hugo, but in turn reward your bankroll with some generous cash amounts. There are 5 reels and 10 paylines to this slot game, allowing slots players of all budgets to have a go – minimum bets are just 0.10, while maximum stakes are set at 100.00.

Hugo will knock on your screen and then the reels of the game will emerge from nowhere. A dense forest surrounds the slot machine with the control panel full of options sitting beneath it. Your job is to min into the hills and try to collect gold and as much wins as possible. As the reels spin, you will hear a delightful soundtrack, one that’s kind to the ears and adds a touch of mystery to your gameplay.

Symbols on the reels include; Hugo, witch, croc, lady troll, golden nugget, bag of coins, dynamite, pick axe and card values 10, J, Q, K and A.

What Can We Win?

Tempt Hugo onto the reels, if you can get five of a kind you will be awarded the biggest cash amount on offer; 2,000x multiplier. If you are a high roller betting maximum stakes, this will make your 100.00 stake very worthy indeed.

The golden nuggets awards the second highest payout with a 750x multiplier with the bag of coins and bonus game both awarding up to 500x your stake.

Mining for Features

Hugo is the wild symbol, he not only awards the non-progressive jackpot, but he substitutes for all other symbols on the reels (bar scatter and bonus) to help create winning paylines.

The scatter is the witch, a multiplier value will be added to your bankroll when at least two fall into view.

Three or more scatter symbols and you will trigger free spins. You decide on how many you wish to play. Free spins can be re-triggered too. Extra symbols come into play – these are the crocs and female troll, allowing for bigger and better chances to win.

Find your way through the gold mine in the bonus game to win big. You are required to pick one of the four doors to get into the mine. Should you find a golden nugget – the cart will fill with a cash amount and allow you to pick one of three doors in round two. In round three, there are two doors – pick the right one and you will enter into the pit of the mine. Two red chests sit in view and you are to pick just one. At any time, should you find a dynamite – the game will end and you win the amount you accumulated.
