Hugo 2

Hugo 2 by Play'n GO sends the friendly troll back underground for a more volatile sequel: 5x3 grid, 10 paylines, 96.53% RTP, high volatility, and a 5,000x maximum win. Two scatter symbols open two entirely different bonus modes, the Troll Race free spins and Skull Cavern treasure hunt, and Hugo Wild delivers a 50x multiplier for a complete-reel appearance. Available on desktop and mobile with crypto at Wild.io.

What is Hugo 2?

Hugo 2 is a 5x3 video slot from Play'n GO with a 96.53% RTP, high volatility, 10 paylines, and a top win of 5,000x your bet. The standout mechanic is a dual-scatter system where two different characters serve as separate scatter types: the Beaver triggers the Troll Race free spins bonus on reels 1, 3, and 5, while Afskylia the evil witch triggers the Skull Cavern treasure bonus, creating two completely different bonus experiences within the same game.

Play'n GO released Hugo 2 in November 2017, taking the mining theme from the original and expanding it into a full underground adventure with a train-and-rail setting. The diamond is the highest-paying regular symbol at 35x the stake for five of a kind, and Hugo Wild's full-screen potential awards a 50x multiplier for a complete five-reel coverage.

Hugo 2 Slot Theme & Graphics

Hugo 2 moves from the general mine setting of the original into a specific underground railway environment. Symbol art uses train whistles, track switches, conductor hats, mine wagons, and skull keys as the low-pay items, evoking a subterranean troll network rather than a generic gold mine. The diamond as the top symbol adds a gem-discovery layer to the train-ride narrative.

Afskylia returns as the villain scatter with a more stylised electric character design, contrasting with the warmer character portraits for Hugo and the Beaver. The Skull Cavern bonus screen has a distinct visual identity separate from the base reels, with its own gothic interior design. Play'n GO maintained the family-friendly charm of the original while pushing the visual complexity further for the sequel.

Hugo 2 Slot Symbols & Paytables

The paytable divides into five low train-themed symbols, three high-value gem and gold symbols, the Hugo Wild with full-screen multiplier, and two scatter characters each triggering a separate bonus.

Low Value Symbols

Five low-paying symbols based on underground railway items: a train whistle, a train track switch, a conductor's hat, a mine wagon, and a skull key. These appear frequently and fill base-game activity on the 10 paylines, paying at the lower end of the scale. The skull key is visually the most distinctive of the group, bridging the gap between the functional mine props and the darker villain aesthetic introduced by Afskylia.

High Value Symbols

Three high-paying symbols represent the treasures Hugo seeks: three gold bars, bags of golden coins, and a large diamond. The diamond is the top regular symbol, paying 35x the stake for five of a kind on a payline. The gold bars and coin bags sit below it. On a 10-payline grid, aligning five diamonds can contribute to several simultaneous line wins depending on their reel positions, and any Hugo Wilds completing or extending a diamond line are counted at full substitution value.

Special Symbols

Hugo is the Wild, substituting for all symbols except the two scatters. A full coverage of five Hugo Wilds across the grid awards a 50x multiplier to the total win, making a complete-reel appearance meaningfully more powerful than partial substitutions. The Beaver is Scatter 1, appearing only on reels 1, 3, and 5: land one on each to trigger the Troll Race free spins. Afskylia is Scatter 2, with her own reel restrictions, triggering the Skull Cavern treasure bonus when her condition is met. The two scatters operate independently and can both activate in the same spin.

Hugo 2 Bonus Feature & Special Features

Troll Race Free Spins

Landing the Beaver Scatter on reels 1, 3, and 5 simultaneously triggers the Troll Race bonus, which is Hugo 2's free spins mode. The Troll Race framing uses the game's underground railway theme, placing Hugo and his family on a cart ride through the mines. During the free spins, win multipliers apply to qualifying combinations and Hugo's wild substitutions continue. The Beaver-on-specific-reels trigger condition means the scatter must spread laterally across three alternating reels rather than simply landing three times anywhere, which affects how often the bonus activates vs the original Hugo's single-scatter trigger.

Skull Cavern Bonus

Afskylia the evil witch serves as the second scatter type, triggering the Skull Cavern bonus when her reel-specific condition is met. This is a treasure hunt mode entirely distinct from the Troll Race free spins: it takes the player into Skull Cavern, where Afskylia has hidden stolen treasure. The Pick mechanic inside the bonus is how prizes are revealed, with each selection uncovering a cash amount or a multiplier. The Skull Cavern operates independently of the free spins, so the overall bonus frequency reflects both trigger paths running in parallel.

Hugo Wild Full-Screen Multiplier

Hugo substitutes as a Wild for all symbols except the two scatter types. His distinctive mechanic for Hugo 2 is the full-screen multiplier: when Hugo appears as the only symbol across all reel positions simultaneously, the total win is multiplied by 50x. This requires a rare alignment where every position on the 5x3 grid shows Hugo, which is the extreme high end of what the wild can accomplish. Below that threshold, standard substitution rules apply and Hugo extends winning lines across the 10 paylines wherever he lands.
