What kind of racing presentation does Hugo Carts have?

It’s a fast-paced adventure where characters from the Hugo franchise race through the mines collecting gold. In the respin feature, the characters pop out in quick succession, staged to feel as if they’re chasing each other. With a base of 1,024 ways plus added multipliers, it has a quick tempo even among the IP slots from Play’n GO slots. If you know the Hugo series, you’ll enjoy it even more.

When do the character respins trigger?

A respin triggers when any character, or a combination of characters, drops. Hugolina drops on reel 2 and adds a multiplier of up to x10 to 2 to 5 symbols. Hugo drops 2 to 5 gold nugget wilds on reel 3, and Scylla scatters 5 to 9 mystery symbols on reel 4. When all three appear together, the effects stack and a single respin becomes much more spectacular.

How many free spins do the dynamite scatters give?

Landing 3, 4, or 5 dynamite scatters gives you 7, 9, or 11 free spins respectively. This feature can’t be retriggered, so you have to make the most of the spins you start with. The number of spins varies quite a bit with the scatter count, so aiming for 5 is part of the fun. Since the spin count is fixed and the scatter count sets the length of the free spins, excitement jumps when you see 4 or more scatters.

What does Don Croco do?

Don Croco can appear at random on any spin of the base game. When he shows up, he tosses 2 dynamite scatters onto the reels. A spin that looked short on scatters can suddenly get close to the free spins threshold, so he’s a welcome troublemaker. He’s a villain after the gold, but he ends up handing players free spin chances, so his role in the story and his role in the game work in opposite directions, which makes him a fun character.

What should I check first in the demo?

RTP is 94.24% and the max win is 25,000x your bet. There’s no official volatility rating, so get a feel for it in the demo. Watch which of Hugolina, Hugo, and Scylla shows up most often, and how frequently Don Croco throwing in scatters actually leads to free spins. Also keep in mind that the free spins can’t be retriggered.
