Hugo 2

Hugo 2 is a 5-reel, 3-row slot by Play'n GO, released in 2017. Its published return to player is 96.53% and the provider rates its volatility as medium (provider score 6/10).

How Hugo 2 plays

A 5x3, 10 fixed-line slot with Hugo as the wild. Three or more witch scatters start the Skull Cavern bonus, where the player picks paths through the cave for prizes, and reaching the treasure pays a 2x to 5x total-win multiplier depending on lives left. Three beaver scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 give 10 free spins (up to 20); collected wild bags add four wilds and collected x2 coins put four 2x multipliers on the reels. Reaching 20 free spins can lead into Skull Cavern.

Theme: Hugo the troll (licensed character), treasure hunt. Filed under Fantasy and fairy tale, Adventure and exploration.

What the figures mean

An RTP of 96.53% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.47%, so every £100 staked costs £3.47 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £6.94, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.

Several versionsPlay'n GO offers Hugo 2 at 96.53%, 94.56%, 91.51%, 87.59%, 84.56%. The casino picks one. The difference matters: over £1,000 of stakes, 96.53% and 84.56% differ by £119.70 in expected cost.

The provider rates volatility as Medium (provider score 6/10). That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.
