Jekyll and Hyde is a 5-reel video slot powered by Microgaming software platform. In the base game you will see the good doctor himself, the girl he loves, potions galore, and spooky-looking 9-through-Ace symbols. However, once you trigger the free spins feature, the evil Mr Hyde will take over the slot. Spin the reels right here for free or head over to your favourite Microgaming Casino to play for real money.
To see Dr Jekyll turn into Mr Hyde, you need to adjust your bet first. Pressing “Coins”, you will select the number of coins you want to wager, and a click on the “+/- Coin Size”, which modifies the coin value ranging from 0.01 to 0.1. “Spin” starts the game. If you want to spin on the highest possible wager press “Max Bet” and the game will start. To spin the reels multiple times uninterrupted, choose the Expert mode and click on “Auto Play” button.
The slot has a ‘Wild’ symbol that substitutes for all regular symbols other than the Scattered Jekyll and Hyde logo. Landing three Scatters on the reels triggers 10 free spins straight away, but that's not all: when Dr. Jekyll appears during free spins, he transforms into Mr. Hyde to award even bigger wins. During the feature, 3 or more scatters award 10 more free spins. Five Mr. Hydes across the reels will bag you a huge jackpot.

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a novella by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson first published in 1886. It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next.
Microgaming picked this story and converted it into a slot game with relevant characters and images, but the background soundtrack is so irritating to my ears that whenever I played this slot, I would turn off the sound effects as I couldn't stand it. I love its overlook but there the loving ends. This 5-reel 243-pay lines video slot is playable from as low as 0.25 cents per spin, which is quite unusual. I played this game a couple of times last year but it was disappointing. After those sessions, I must say that I can't see how this slot could produce any decent wins.
There are no features in the base game and my wins were all too small. Literally nothing. The most I got was 2 Euros wins and I never broke this amount. Dr.Jekyll is the Wild symbol, which is the highest paying symbol, and pays out 1500 coins for getting 5 of them, which is a pretty decent payout. The logo 'Jekyll and Hyde' is the Scatter symbol which pays out 1250 coins for 5 of a kind. The only feature in this video slot is Mr.Hyde Free Spins bonus round. It is triggered by getting 3 Scatters. You get only 10 free spins and that is pretty much all. No multiplier, no Stacked Wilds, no Expanding Wild, but the Free Spins game can be retriggered, and that is all.
Unfortunately, there is nothing more to look for in this game and that maximum coins win remains only in theory, because triggering 5 of a kind seems truly impossible. I wouldn't recommend this game as there are so many other slots out there which can really pay better. Microgaming made a very nice slot but with a very pathetic pay table.
