Jekyll and Hyde has become the latest Playtech slot to become available at William Hill Casino. The slot is not the first to be based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1886 classic novel, in fact Microgaming have a slot of the same name, which means competition is fierce.Standing up against such big names and other slots that maintain the same idea, Playtech’s offering has to bring something different, so does it succeed in doing so?
About the game
This five reel, 25 payline slot has a lot of nice touches that help to echo the eerie mood of the book. An incredibly creepy soundtrack in the background, with dark and almost disturbing graphics, images, and animations creates a smorgasbord of gothic that fits the theme perfectly.
Dr Jekyll is, unsurprisingly, the most rewarding symbol in this slot, offering 1,000 times your stake if you land five in a line.
Features
The strongest part of this slot is its dedication to its theme, and this is best shown in the Free Games feature.There are two ways to win here, one is Jekyll, the other is Hyde, both of which continue until you see four scatter symbols on the last reel.With Jekyll Spins, the multiplier increases up to 5x with every time the scatter lands, with the Hyde Spins, one character becomes wild every time the scatter hits, so both of these options can lead to some big wins.It may not be the first time this idea has been used, but it is arguably the best execution of the theme. Head over to William Hill and try the game, and decide for yourself if this is the best Jekyll and Hyde slot to exist.
