Hugo Slot

Hugo is a very interesting slot that is based on the little troll that appears on TV shows. This is a video slot game from Play N` Go and it is highly entertaining and has many features which offer you a chance to increase your balance. This is a medium variance game and that is the main reason I choose to play this slot from time to time. There are constant wins during the base game so my bankroll can last longer and I can enjoy playing this slot for a while and hoping to activate some feature that will drastically increase my balance.

Hugo is a 5 reels and 10 pay lines video slot game where you see Hugo trying to save his beloved wife Hugoline from the hands of the evil. Hugo is the wild symbol and it not only substitutes for all the other symbols except the scatter but it also doubles the wins too. There are 2 main features in this game the Treasure Bonus and the Free Spins feature. There is no need to point out that the free spins feature is my favourite. To activate the free spins you need at least 3 Evil Witch Askylia scatter symbols and then you have 3 options to choose from. The first time I played this slot I was lucky enough to activate this feature many times so I could try every option and reach my conclusion. The first option is to choose 5 free spins where the extra scatter pays 3 x bet, the next one is 10 free spins where the extra scatter pays 2 x bet and the last one is 15 free spins where the extra scatter, if it appears, pays 1 x bet. To me, the second one is always the best option. The last one is time consuming only and the outcome is always roughly the same.

Hugo is an excellent game and I would recommend it to anyone.

I just tried Hugo recently when it launched at VideoSlots and had a great first experience - fifteen free spins worth £1.50 paid a total of £33.25! Fair enough there were a great many dead spins amongst those fifteen and nearly the entirety of those winnings came from a trip to the dungeon based "Pick Me" bonus round but it's still a great result from a small amount of money, and as always at VideoSlots those winnings were withdrawable, wager free funds too!

I don't really know of the games hero Hugo apart from this game although I think from memory it's a cartoon character popular in one of the European countries. He's certainly cute enough (especially for a troll!) and the rest of the game is very bright and colorful too. The sound is bound to put a smile on most gamers faces, especially when Hugo gives his cheery speeches at various points!

Despite this I didn't find the game particularly childish looking which is something that has put me off a few slots since it was pointed out to me by a friend a few years ago that her seven year old daughter was getting a little too interested in her gambling because of the overly cutesy graphics and characters in her favourite games.

There are two features, the "Pick Me" bonus I mentioned previously as well as a free spins round with a neat extra feature - Hugo's girlfriend "Hugoline" is added stacked on all reels and you can choose how many spins you wish to be awarded at the start which also varies how much each Hugoline symbol is worth. Usually I would always go for the highest variance option which in this case would be five spins with Hugoline worth 150 coins however five spins is a little on the low side, so I think the medium 10 spins is the best option this time around.

It's not a big thing but the games maximum win is just 1000x stake, which is a little low for me. Nevertheless I really enjoyed the game and will definitely be playing it again.

Hugo is a new game that was released earlier this month by Play'n Go software provider. I received some free spins on the game and didn't win anything, but I decided to try this game with some real money balance. For me it was hard to tell what was the inspiration source for this game, as I could only understand that the animated guy figurine was the main character Hugo and there was also the evil witch, or in this case hot woman. I didn't know any back story but the design was quite average from my point of view. Judging from the symbols and bonus round I understood that the game was based on gold digging theme.

It wasn't a big surprise for me to see that this game has 5 reels and only 10 paylines as many other Play'n Go slots. Bonus wise this game offers a free spins feature and a pick me bonus. Free spins are triggered by 3 or more witches, while pick me bonus is triggered by treasure chests on reels 1, 3 and 5. From many aspects this game looked very similar to other slots Play'n Go already have, just with different designs.

I spent a really long session with this game and I wasn't happy with it at all. First of all, I tried to play it with sounds on and I found myself deeply annoyed by the cartoon comments in the bonus rounds and the general sounds. But that was least of my reasons to dislike the slot. Both bonuses come up very often but I think that they both lack of winning potential.

So the free spins offer you 3 options and the thing that changes is either you get larger amount of spins with smaller payout for the Hugo's lover symbol, or smaller amount of spins with bigger payout for the Hugo’s girl symbol. I've tried them all and it's really sad to say that none of the times I have won over 30x bet win.

The other bonus is a pick me bonus where you pick doors to reveal your gold prize. I haven't opened the last doors as I get the evil creature that ends my game all the time, but even though the game states it can pay up to 500x bet, I think it could be really hard to achieve that win, as my best result from the pick me bonus was exactly 25x bet.

Overall I think this is a very average game that I wouldn't recommend to play. It has nothing really outstanding and even though the base game gives regular small winnings, I think that even achieving 100x bet could be quite hard. I wasn't a big fan for the design either so this game definitely wasn't my cup of tea.

Hugo is the main character of the Hugo the troll television series. Hugo showcases the adventures of the troll Hugo as he attempts to save his family. Created by Play'n Go with 10 paylines and 5 reels. The graphics of the game is good and like the fact that it’s a nice bright colourful slot.

This troll, with his big ears, big eyes, and big nose, shows up as the wild symbol across all 5 reels. A symbol that helps to create big wins, thanks to its 2x multiplier. This game has 2 features which is the bonus game and the free spins feature. Hugo himself act as wild and apply a multiplier when substituting in a win. Landing you 3 red chest on reels 1, 3 and 5 awards the bonus game. This is a game where you on a hunt for a treasure. You have to select doors to proceed to the next level which the last level has the treasure chest. Be careful as the green Don Croco will kick your but if you choose the wrong door.

Landing 3 evil witch scatters will access you the free spins feature. You can choose from 3 free spins features. 5, 10 or 15 free spins with scatter pays 3, 2 and 1 times your total stake respectively for every Hugolina scatter that land on the reels during free spins. The feature can be re-triggered, but I doubt that will happen, as triggering any feature of this game is very difficult.

I don’t like this slot, nor do I play the slot. A lot of people are raving, but the game payout is very poor, this is like playing the book of dead, pimped, royal masquerade or spin party. I guess when it's in the mood it will pay well, but this is not for me. I have triggered each feature once, but resulted in massive losses. Didn’t even win anything good from the free spins features.

Okay, so here comes another new cartoon game from Play'nGo, by the name of Hugo. Whenever there's a nice looking new cartoon game around, that's the place I wanna go. Must give it a try and see how the game would go. If all's well that ends well, I may play it more and not give it a throw. So, are you ready? Then let's go!

Hugo the Troll is the Wild symbol, paying 2000x the line bet for 5 of him, doubling all wins with it, and substitutes for other symbols except for the Scatter symbol. The Witch is the Scatter symbol, paying 150x the total bet for 5 of her, and getting 3 or more of her award a Free Spins game. 3 kinds of Free Spins game are available for your picking. Firstly, 5 free spins with Hugo paying 30x the line bet for each Hugo icon appearing on the reels, secondly, 10 free spins with Hugo paying 20x, and thirdly, 15 free spins with Hugo paying 10x the line bet for every Hugo icon appearing on the reels during the free spins. Very similar to Playtech's game Elektra. More Free Spins game can be retriggered, and that is good. The Gold Nugget pays 750x the line bet for 5 of them, the Bag of Gold pays 500x, the Dynamite 250x, the Pick 250x, and the rest paying from 150x the line bet for 5 of them. Not a lot to win from, coming from quite a low paytable.

In the Free Spins game, Hugo the Troll pays like a scatter symbol, no longer paying like a Wild symbol, so no doubling of wins with Hugo in the free spins, which is not good at all I would say. Why not maintain both, since the Wilds do not expand in the free spins? That would cover back the lack of big win possibilities in the game. But I guess NetEnt don't want to give that. Take it as it is, or just leave it. Hmm. Okay, so how do I like the Free Spins game so far? Well, I only managed to get one Free Spins game in 3 separate short plays, and I chose 15 free spins with each appearing Hugo icon paying 10x. Why? Because the game wasn't playing well at all and I was afraid that if I had chosen the 5 free spins with each Hugo icon paying 30x, I may end up with almost no win at all. I've had several of this kind of disastrous results playing the game Elektra, choosing the 7 free spins with a 4x multiplier, and ending up with only one spin that paid something small. That was not worth it at all.

Getting 3 Chest symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 in the base game awards the Treasure Chamber Bonus game. You have to pick out which door to enter in each level of the Chamber, winning coins if successful, or getting booted out if you meet Don Croc, the crocodile terminator. Reach the Treasure Chamber and you get to pick one of the 2 Treasure Chests to win up to 500x the total bet amount! One chest has a prize, the other a bomb, obviously put there by none other than Don Croc himself. I managed to pick the right chest twice, paying a miserable 2x and 3x my bet amount, and the third was the bomb. Argh! Well, the paytable says you can win up to 500x your bet, but I got only 2x and 3x my bet, so how does that compare with what is promised? Miserably!

I may not have played many games on Hugo so far, but from what I have played, I really doubt I would want to give this game any more tries. The paytable is too low, the payouts were miserable, the Free Spins game didn't excite, and the Treasure Chamber was more like a booby trap. The game Hot As Hades is far more rewarding for getting the final treasure, plus getting an additional 50x Bonus award for getting it, but none whatsoever from Hugo's Treasure Chamber Chest.

Hugo is good graphics designed video slot powered by Play'n GO software provider. It has 5 reels and 10 active pay lines. I tried to play it just once and I have to say that I did not like it. I expected more from it, since it has good theme and design. I liked Hugo back in the days while I was a kid, but this game just did not fulfill my expectations.

If you get three or more scattered symbols, free spins feature starts. You can choose between different numbers of free spins – you can get up to 15 free spins. Beside free spins feature there is also one bonus game which is pick-up game. At this bonus game you have to pick some doors which will reveal your cash prize. The maximum win of x500 bet is possible here, but I never reach even to around x50 bet. I triggered many times bonus game and almost every time I won only around x20 bet.

The hugo symbols have good payout ratio here. They act as a wilds and for all five of them you get x2000 total bet. I think this is almost impossible to get all five of them, I got a few times two wilds but the winnings were nothing special at all. Most of the time I won amounts which were even lower than my bet stake and because of that I do not like this game. The base game is quite boring for me. I do not think I will play it again in the future, I tried it once and I do not like it.

I think there are some better games from Play'n GO software provider than this one. I expected better payouts and also better free spins feature. I will rate it with 5 out of 10 possible stars.

Just released yesterday, “Hugo” is the newest game manufactured by “Play'n GO.” This is a fairy-themed slot provided with 10 paylines and built under the format of 5 x 3 reels whose theme tells the story of some kind of little goblin who ventures through gold mines down to the dungeon, where the evil witch Afskylia has imprisoned his girlfriend Hugoline, with the objective of rescuing her.

This game is equipped with a wild symbol that doubles your winnings whenever it gets involved in the formation of any line, and I must say that this is for me the most important feature of this slot and thanks to it I got many big wins during my first session, additionally, I think this wild is the feature that better helps to maintain a flow of hits since “Hugo” is a slot with few lines that only pays for lines formed from left to right.

“Hugo” also has a round of free spins that is triggered by the appearance of 3 or more scatters with the face of Afskylia witch; therein the player can choose to play 5, 10, or 15 free spins, during which each Hugoline’s symbol that appears pay 120, 80, or 40 credits respectively. I think it's quite appropriate that during this round it pays for special symbols that do not require to be aligned since it would not make sense to wait so long for a round of free games that will eventually be subject to the same low hit average experienced during the base game.

There is also a bonus round that can be triggered by obtaining 3 symbols with the image of a treasure chest that appears only on reels 1, 3, and 5; here the player must select multiple doors trying to guess the correct path to the treasure, and if we choose the wrong door, a crocodile will be responsible for sending us back to the base game.

I personally think that this slot has a nice design and I admit it can also be fun, however, I believe that prizes offered by special features are not good enough to expect to win some money with this game.

As for the base game, I think that money flow at this stage is acceptable to be a slot with only 10 lines, yet, and based on the overall performance of this slot, I think “Hugo” could be categorized just as an average slot.
