Play’n GO, in collaboration with Hugo Games A/S, has unveiled its latest slot game, “Hugo Legacy”, marking the sixth instalment in the popular Hugo slot series. This release celebrates the 30th anniversary of the iconic three-toed troll, Hugo, and promises to take players on a nostalgic journey filled with exciting features and gameplay mechanics.
The Evolution of Hugo Slots
The Hugo slot series began its journey in 2016 with the release of the game “Hugo”. Its immense success paved the way for subsequent releases, including “Hugo 2” (2017), “Hugo Goal” (2018), “Hugo’s Adventure” (2019), and “Hugo Carts” (2021). Each game in the series has showcased advancements in gameplay and mechanics, thanks to Play’n GO’s innovative IPs.
Gameplay and Features
Hugo Legacy is set on a 7×7 grid and continues the captivating gameplay introduced in “Hugo Carts”. Players join Hugo and his friends, Jean-Paul and Fernando, in their battle against adversaries Scylla and Don Croco. The primary objective is to achieve wins by eliminating symbols like Dynamite, Legacy Gap, Gold, Key, Diamond, or Character symbols. Bonuses come into play when the Overcharge Meter is filled, with each character introducing unique features that can significantly influence the gameplay.The game introduces the “Charge” feature, which is activated when Hugo collects 15 Charges. This feature has multiple levels, each offering different rewards, from adding wilds to transforming low-paying symbols into high-paying ones. The game also boasts a Free Spins feature, reminiscent of the 2017 Viking Runecraft slot. Players can unlock up to five Free Spin tiers, with the potential to earn additional spins.
A Tribute to Hugo’s Legacy
George Olekszy, Head of Game Retention at Play’n GO, expressed his enthusiasm for the new release, stating, “Hugo Legacy is a truly ambitious slot.” He emphasized the game’s homage to characters from previous Hugo titles and highlighted the unique Charge features and character-specific abilities. Olekszy added, “Because it’s Hugo the Troll’s 30th birthday, it’s only right we honour the IP, his multi-media franchise, and his slots with this truly dynamic title.”
