Hugo

“Hugo” was a popular interactive game show in the ‘90s when kids around the world lost their minds about a little, friendly troll, named Hugo. The game was intended to create interactive television for the youngest audience. After great success on television, Hugo found his way to video games, but also video slots. Play’n GO software provider found inspiration in a story about this cute troll, his sweetheart Hugolina, and different villains who are trying to mess with their plans. “Hugo” is an engaging online video slot with great possibilities. 

Theme and Symbols

Play’n GO team decided on a mining theme for this game, so Hugo is going on an underground treasure quest. “Hugo” online video slot is perfectly designed like a cartoon, with a mine entrance hidden in the forest behind the reels. Hugo, his sweetheart Hugoline, witch Scylla, and a treasure chest will appear with some special powers to boost your chances and wins. On the other hand, regular payouts come with player cards’ symbols, mine pick, TNT, a bag of coins, and one big shiny nugget. 

Betting Options and Other Functions

“Hugo” features five reels and three rows where players can activate up to 10 paylines. Besides the number of paylines, players are supposed to set the number of coins per line, which will define the bet in a range from 0.01 to 50. 

Symbols form winning combinations landing on an active payline from the leftmost right. If multiple wins happen on a single line, only the highest one will be paid, while wins on different lines are added. Line wins are created by multiplying the payouts shown in the paytable by the bet staked per line. 

Playing cards’ symbols give the lowest payouts. Ten, Jack, and Queen pay 5, 20, and 100, while King and Ace give 10, 50, and 150. 

Mining equipment offers a bit more, so picks and TNTs pay 15, 75, and 250. 

A bag full of coins and the golden nugget pay for two and more matching icons on the line. Bag of coins pays 2, 20, 150, and 500, while big, shiny nugget pays 3, 25, 250, and 750. 

Special Features

Cute troll Hugo is a Wild symbol that pays 10, 100, 1000, and 2000 and substitutes for all symbols, except Bonus and Scatter, to create longer winning combinations. When Hugo participates in winning combinations, wins are doubled. 

Scylla is an evil witch, but here she has the power to trigger some free rounds. When three or more symbols appear scattered on the screen, independently of the paylines, 5 to 15 Free Spins are awarded. Scylla also pays for two and more identical icons - 1, 3, 15, and 150. During the feature, lovely Hugoline can appear as an extra Scatter symbol in a three-high stack on one or more reels. For each scattered Hugoline, players can get up to 3x the current total bet. 

One more symbol will land to help you. The treasure chest is a Bonus icon, and when three of them land on the reels, the Bonus game is triggered. The goal is to find a way through the gold mine to get into the treasure chamber. You can win up to 500x the total bet but beware of Don Croco, whose mission is to kick you out. 

Conclusion

“Hugo” is a cute, playable online video slot that definitely deserves one more spin. It looks amazing, symbols give solid payouts, while attractive amounts can be won during free rounds and the Bonus game. This is a mobile-friendly game with medium volatility and RTP of up to 96,4%.
