Slot Features
Wild Hugo symbol can appear on all reels and can form win combos when substituting. Wild can substitute for all the symbols in the game except for the Bonus and the Scatter. The game has 2 base features: Air Ace and Underwater Adventure, where the first one has sub-features that will help you score bigger wins during the Air Ace.
Air Ace
Landing 3 Airplane symbols will trigger the Free Spins feature with 1 initial life. However, landing +1 Balloon will award an extra life. If Hugo is left with 1 life after the 20 spins end, the Underwater Adventure will get triggered. For the Underwater Adventure 2 lives give 1 extra life.

You need to watch out for these as they are bad for both you and Hugo. Air Mines will blow Hugo up, and you will end up losing 1 life for each time it happens.

Submarine is the Scatter and it is set to take you and Hugo deep underwater, all you need to do is land at least 2 of them. Here, you will get to swim through the treasure filled waters to multiply your wins by up to x20. The win potential can get as high as up to x5000.
Summary
Among all the Hugo slots created thus far, the Hugo's Adventure slot is the most volatile one. The game revolves around bonus features mostly, especially the fun Free Spins feature, as the base game can get tiresome. Overall, great looking, interesting and fun slot like this one, surely deserves a shot.
Visually, you will see the same cartoon graphics used in other previous slots (Hugo and Hugo 2) – the game is set at sea and in the air. With A, K, Q, J and 10 card suits, you will see bird pilots, trolls and monkey mechanics. Hugo, acting as an aviator, is the wild symbol. He substitutes for all symbols but the scatter and will give you 2.5, 7.5 or 50 times your stake for 3, 4 or 5 on a payline. I must admit I am not a huge fan of Hugo, it has the potential, but does not happen often. More importantly the pay table is significantly better.
Hugo's Adventure comes with 2 bonus features:
- First up is the Underwater Adventure feature - Which is played when you get 2 submarine bonus scatters on the reels at the same time (on reels 2 and 4). The submarine then spins giving you 1, 2 or 3 lives. You then choose treasures under the sea which will give you a cash bonus. Some treasure picks will contain danger and 1 life is removed. At the end of the feature, each life you have left will see the golden submarine spin to give you a multiplier of 2x, 3x or 5x. This multiplier is then applied to the sum of your winnings from your picks. 2 or 3 remaining lives will generate a combined multiplier.
- The aeroplane free spins feature. Landing aeroplane scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 will trigger the air ace feature where you will get 9 free spins and 1 life. Look out for +1 balloons landing as this will give you an additional life, hitting a mine will destroy a life and you can win multipliers and more spins up to 20 spins. Should you have a life left after 20 spins you enter the Underwater Adventure feature to get a chance to multiply your free spins winnings
During free spins Hugo wilds will be placed randomly on the reels and move 1 to the left on each spin and falls off the reels. You also have a chance to get multipliers added on symbols during any spins to double your winnings.
Hugo is Hugo. I don’t personally like these slot series, but its nice for low rolling. The winning potential on average is bad at most times, but you get the 1 or two 100 or 200x winners, but still not enough to make you want to play it all the time.
