Hugo Carts Review

The Hugo franchise is popular all over the European continent, and the adorable, toothless Troll has figured in everything from interactive television, video games, movies and even game shows aired in more than 40 countries. Of course, Play’n Go has also made sure that there are several Hugo slots out there already, and Hugo Carts is the 4th installment in the Scandinavian saga, so far.

We’re happy to see that things have been taken up a notch in this release, with 1,024 win ways and a massive 25,000x potential, as the series was beginning to show signs of stagnation. The mining theme certainly fits the bill, and this is a perfectly balanced release with plenty of base game modifier respin action. It all comes to a head in the bonus round, where retriggers can award up to all 3 modifiers on every spin.

Hugo Carts Slot Features

Wild bags of gold can appear on any reel, and they step in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos. The wilds are also the highest value symbol in their own right, awarding 10x your stake for 5 on a payline.

There are 3 character symbols that land on designated reels only, and these trigger different features whenever they appear in the base game. The respective character modifiers can be combined, and you win a respin when 1 or more characters land anywhere in sight:

• Hugolina (reel 2) - adds 2 to 5 symbol multipliers with up to x10 in value.
• Hugo (reel 3) - awards 2 to 5 wild symbols randomly across the grid.
• Scylla (reel 4) - generates 5 to 9 mystery symbols, and these turn into a randomly chosen matching pay symbol.

You need 3, 4 or 5 dynamite scatters anywhere in sight to trigger the Bonus Round, and this awards 7, 9 or 11 free spins, respectively. Don Croco can appear at random times in the base game, and throw 2 dynamite scatters onto the grid.

One of the 3 characters are selected randomly up front, and you get the corresponding modifier on each free spin. Landing 3+ scatters on a free spin retriggers the feature, and this also means that an additional character modifier is chosen. Do this 2 times, and you’ll play with all 3 modifiers active on each free spin. You cannot retrigger the feature after that.

The 200 Spins Hugo Carts Slot Experience

Being fans of the Hugo series, this was an installment we had been looking forward to, and we were hardly disappointed. This is a properly action packed mining slot for sure, and we had a good time testing Hugo Carts.

Review Summary

The Hugo range is a well-executed series from Play’n Go, and Hugo Carts is the best installment so far by a long shot. The charming troll and his wife take you on a volatile ride down the mining cart tracks, and 3 unique character-driven modifier respin features are more than enough to keep you warm during base game play.

The big highlight is the Bonus Round, and it only gets better for each retrigger. Having all 3 character modifiers combine on each spin is a sight to behold for sure, and it can lead to eye-watering payouts up to 25,000x your stake (1 in 1B chance). The only drawback here is the adjustable RTP ranges, and if this happens to be the last installment (not very likely), the Hugo slot franchise certainly went out with a bang.

Pros

• Win up to 25,000x your stake
• 3 character modifier respin features
• FS w/ up to all 3 modifiers per spin

Cons

• Beware of customizable RTP ranges
