How to play

The cascade feature comes into play on a winning spin, where symbols in a winning spin are removed form the reels and new symbols drop down to take their place, so that multiple wins can come from a single spin.
- Diamond symbols is wild and substitutes for all other symbols
- Hitting 20x Hugo symbols = 1000x total bet (up to £100,000)

Hugo Legacy is a medium volatility game with a RTP that ranges from 84.20% to 96.20%.
Special features
Telephone
There is an old school red push button telephone located next to the reels, Each time a winning combination is hit, the number of symbols in the win adds that number of charges to the phone. If the total number of charges on a spin reaches 15, a random character feature is retrospectively applied (this also applies to additional cascade spins). The character features are:
- Hugo adds 5 – 8 wilds to the reels
- Scylla protects any wilds and 1-2 symbols, destroying all others
- Don Croco upgrades 2-5 symbols into different symbols
- Fernando tuns a single symbol type Wild
- Jean Paul selects a symbol and builds a winning cluster
Free spin
When the phone receives 35, 40, 45 or 50 charges, a free spin is awarded with additional character features applied.
In addition, the free spin feature has a wilds collector. Winning wilds are collected during the first phase, and then added back on to the reels once the character features have played out.
When the free spin feature is awarded, you have the option of accepting the number of character features initially awarded, or gambling in an attempt to increase the number of features applied to the free spin.
- 35 charges awards 2 character features
- 40 charges awards 3 character features
- 45 charges awards 4 character features and 5 wilds collected
- 50 charges awards 5 character features and 30 wilds collected
Graphics and Sounds
This is a very impressive game in terms of its visual design and soundtrack. Set in a lush green forest, Hugo himself watches over the reels, answering the telephone when the character features are activated. Anyone familiar with the original will appreciate how well the characters in the symbols are recreated, but you don’t need to know anything about the Hugo the Troll series to enjoy the quality of the visuals.
In terms of the soundtrack, Play’n GO has gone all out with Hugo Legacy. The original music is recorded by a full orchestra and gives the game a memorable, cinematic feel which adds to the mythic atmosphere of the game.
Conclusion
Hugo Legacy is the ideal slot if you want fast moving gameplay, high quality production values, and the chance to win significant payouts. While the wins come thick and fast during base play, they are not huge; for that, you need to activate the character feature or, ideally progress through to the free spin. The combination of multiple character features, collected wilds and the cascade feature means you can win multiple times from one spin, with the potential for huge payouts (the major jackpot is worth 3,000x total bet).
As a cluster pays game, Hugo Legacy is visually engaging and offers plenty of on-screen action combined with first rate visual effects.
You can come and meet Hugo and the other characters from his world at any of our featured UK slot sites.
