Jekyll & Hyde

We’ve all watched or read adaptations of the 1886 Robert Louis Stevenson novel Jekyll & Hyde. The story follows a man with 2 personalities. One a sophisticated doctor and the other a temperamental monster – definitely the inspiration behind the Incredible Hulk. It’s also the inspiration behind a slot by world famous iGaming studio Playtech, and hosts more bonus features than the good doctor has personalities. However, will the title deliver the payouts you’re looking for?

Playtech’s games have mostly made use of static images serving as the background to the reels such as White King 11 and Epic Ape, and it’s a similar story here but for one thing. The reels have an effect that sees green smoke puffing through the symbols. The graphics in general are quite accomplished and definitely of a high production level. The music is a little eerie with church bells occasionally sounding out, which might make you hit the mute button relatively quickly. The action all takes place over 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 paylines. Mobile devices display this layout very well indeed, but as the title was released in 2016 and could be considered a little older it still plays very well on mobile.

This game provides you with the ability to play in 2 different modes. Playing in the base mode will mean you have a minimum bet of £0.25 per spin and a maximum bet of £125.00. The issue with playing in the base mode is that you will need to land 3 or more scatters to trigger the free spins. In feature mode you might only require 1 scatter. The minimum and maximum bets differ to the base mode here by starting at £0.50 and finishing at £250.00. The maximum payout is 1000x your bet on the highest paying symbol, so should you be wagering £250.00 per spin and land this combination you’ll be looking at a £250,000.00 payout.

Having such high wagering amounts can always lead to heavy losses if a reasonable strategy is adopted, but with a RTP ratio of 96.2% it will assist in keeping potential losses to a minimum.

Feature Symbols

The feature symbols are completely in line with the theme of the game. This is with the exception of the lower paying symbols. These are playing cards 10, J, Q, K and A. The A has the highest value among these at 100x your bet for 5 of a kind. The higher paying symbols consist of a book, and top hat and cane as well as characters from the novel – 2 female characters and the ill-fated Dr Henry Jekyll. The man with a dual personality is the highest paying symbol at 1000x your bet.

The wild symbol plays a large role in Jekyll & Hyde online slot. You’ll recognise it as Mr Hyde looking a little scary. It will substitute all symbols except the scatter to create winning paylines. The scatter is represented by a green potion in the base game and a red potion in the feature game.

Bonuses and Jackpots

Players will notice that the base game has green potion as the scatter. In this mode everyone will need to land 3 or more scatters on the reels to trigger the free spins. If playing in feature mode the scatters will be red, and only 1 scatter need display fully on the reels to trigger the free spins.

Once the free spins are triggered you’ll be able to choose from 2 variations of free spins. There’s the Jekyll Spins and the Hyde Spins. The first option sees multipliers get added to your wins when scatters land during the spins, while the second sees higher paying symbols turned into wilds every time a scatter lands.

The amazing thing about each variation is that they only end once 4 potion bottles fall on the reels. This means there is potential for the spins to go on for longer than you’d expect, resulting in huge winnings.

Play Jekyll & Hyde Slot at PartyCasino

Jekyll and Hyde online slot is quite fun to play and massively profitable if you hit the free spins in the feature mode. It is understandable that most players like to be conservative with funds and bet low, however if you enter the free spins playing in the feature mode then expect a mass of winnings to flow your way. This isn’t the most interactive of games but the theme is entertaining and you might just mutate into your own version of Mr. Hyde should the £250,000.00 jackpot pay you a visit.
