For those online slots fans who have previously appreciated Hugo and Hugo 2 from Play N Go, there’s now a third in the series; it’s called Hugo Goal and it sees the return of our title character as a goalkeeper aiming to help you out with Action Replays and Free Kicks.

Hugo Goal is a three reel slot with three rows and five fixed paylines; the reels spin within a wooden structure (it could be a goal) which floats against a backdrop of a fairly rural setting with wooden bleachers occupied by various animals on either side.

The three higher value symbols all appear stacked and they are the referee, the crocodile supporter and a commentating goat; lower value symbols include a football, a referees’ whistle, a pair of blue football boots, a watch and a pair of linesman’s flags.

Hugo is wild, he also appears stacked three symbols high and he will replace all others to help form winning combinations.

Bonus Features

Action Replay

This can occur on any non-winning spin in which two reels are filled with the same character symbol; the reels will now be respun until a a win lands.

Free Kick

This can trigger on any non-winning spin in which two reels are full of the same lower value symbol; you’ll now get one free respin to try and make a winning combination.

Penalty Shootout

This is triggered by filling all three reels will the same symbol and you’ll now be taken to a screen with Hugo in goal; here you play Hugo and you have to save penalties, rather than score them so just select one of the arrows floating on the goal to tell Hugo where to dive. Any saves will increase the multiplier as follows – 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and then 10x. That multiplier is then applied to the combo win which got you here in the first place.

Verdict

Hugo clearly has enough self-respect to appear only in high quality, enjoyable slots and Hugo Goal lives up to his lofty standards; it’s colourful, full of features which trigger regularly and it comes with an RTP of exactly 96.00%.
