Hugo 2 brings the Scandinavian TV troll Hugo back for a second Play'n GO slot. It uses five reels, three rows and ten paylines, with a bonus game where Hugo and Hugolina help build up a multiplier before free spins. It suits players who like character-led slots and a straightforward line-based game with a high-volatility bonus. Fans of the original Hugo slot will recognise the characters.
How does Hugo 2 work?
You play on a 5x3 grid with ten paylines. A wild substitutes for regular symbols, and special bonus symbols lead to the main feature.
Bets typically range from 0.10 to 100 per spin.
Low-value symbols include card royals and small items from Hugo's world, while Hugo, Hugolina and the villain Scylla pay more. The pace is steady with standard spinning reels.
The paylines are fixed, so you only choose your total stake. That keeps the controls simple for new players.
What are the Hugo 2 bonus features?
The bonus game uses Hugo's adventure to collect multipliers and extra boosts before the free spins begin, with super boosts of up to 8x mentioned in reviews.
During free spins, the multiplier you built applies to your wins, which is the path to the 5,000x maximum.
Because the multiplier is built before free spins begin, the value of the round depends heavily on that first stage. A low multiplier usually means a modest round, while a strong build-up can lead to much bigger wins.
Is Hugo 2 worth playing? RTP and volatility explained
Casinos.com and Gambling.com list the RTP at 96.53%, and SlotCatalog shows a 94.56% setting, so casinos can run lower versions. Volatility is high.
The game is aimed more at fans of the character than at players chasing record wins. The line structure is easy to understand.
An RTP of 96.53% is a long-run average over millions of spins: in theory the game keeps about 3.47 of every 100 units wagered. It does not predict a single session. High volatility means long runs of small or no wins are normal, and a large share of the total return is packed into rare feature rounds.
Compared with Play'n GO's book slots, Hugo 2 relies more on the multiplier you build before free spins than on a single expanding symbol, which gives the bonus a different feel.
Tips before you play Hugo 2
- Open the paytable or game rules before your first spin and check the RTP figure shown there, because Play'n GO offers several RTP settings and the casino picks one.
- Keep stakes modest because the base game pays fairly little between features.
- Try the demo to see how the multiplier is built before free spins.
- Decide before you start how much you are willing to lose and when you will stop after a win, and use your casino's deposit limits to stick to it.
