This mini-slot packs a ton of bonus features into its three reels, including:

Theme
This title is the latest of a series of a slots from this designer based on the cult classic animated TV show from the 1990s, Hugo Goal follows on the heels of Hugo and its sequel, Hugo 2.
Whereas those games were five-reel affairs, however, this one is a three-reel mini-slot. Play is set on a soccer pitch, where animals of every kind and color have come to cheer for their favorite troll.
Gaming symbols include some of the franchise’s beloved characters, such as Afskylia the witch, Don Croco her crocodile henchman, and Goat. Football-related items, such as boots, whistles, game balls, stopwatches, and flags provide lower-value symbols.
The titular troll himself acts as wild, substituting for other symbols to form winning combinations. He also offers this game’s top payout at 1600x for three-of-a-kind.
Betting Options and Functions
The glorious game of football, as any fan knows, is as much strategy as it is technical brilliance. Play’n GO’s experienced and excellent design team employs both to good effect in this slot.
There are three reels, matching the hero perfectly, who has only three toes, as well as five fixed paylines. Overall per-spin bet is set simply along a range of 0.05 – 100.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay is available for up to 1,000 spins, with optional automatic stops for wins, features, single wins, and bankroll swings of a chosen size. Quickspin is available for players who prefer a quicker gaming tempo.
The overall theoretical return to player ratio is above-average at 96%.
Features
- Action Replay is active on non-winning spins where full stacks of the same character symbol appear on the reels. The third reel will re-spin until a win is awarded.
- On non-winning spins where two full stacks of the same item appear on the reels, the Free Kick is activated. The third reel will re-spin, giving players a second chance to win.
- Filling the reels with the same symbol triggers the Penalty Shoot-Out bonus feature.
- Five penalty kicks are awarded, with players acting as the goalkeeper (played by non other than Hugo, of course!)
- Win multiplier is increased by one for each save made. Save all five shots to unlock the maximum win multiplier of 10x!
Our Take
Play’n GO has demonstrated its mastery of the five-reel slot oeuvre many times before…
… players should be excited by that same mastery on display in a mini-slot like this one.
Never before have so many features been squeezed into three reels, much less while such strong RTP is on offer. This title is definitely worth the attention of lovers of online slots.
