Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is one of the slots that BetSoft offers its players and it’s also a fairly recent release of theirs, placed in the 3D Slots category. The story of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is well known enough, with the scientist that turns into a mad man and wreaks havoc in the city. BetSoft did a lot for this game, especially with its general design, so you will find yourself enjoying the experience tremendously, even if you’re not a fan of the story behind it.
There are 30 paylines offered inside this slot machine, with 5 reels hosting them all. The game has no shortage of features, with wild symbols, scatters, free spins and bonus games all part of it and each one with its own opportunity for you to get some prizes. Speaking of the prizes, the top jackpot of this slot machine is worth about $3,000, which might not seem like a lot, but you do get a lot of opportunities to make money with it.
Features of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
Luckily, this is a 3D Slot, so you don’t have to worry about it being boring or lacking features. Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde has a pretty decent collection of bonus games, wilds and free spins to give you, as you will discover below.
The first wild is a symbol, while the second is part of a feature. The wild symbol uses the game’s logo, and it can appear on reels 1, 3 and 5. It’s a rather limited wild, as it can substitute only for the two main characters, Jekyll and Hyde, and not for any of the other symbols.
The wild feature is not as straightforward as it should, but at least it is very generous when it does occur. You need the Dr. Jekyll symbol to have a red potion symbol on both sides, on the 2nd and 4th reels, and if that happens you will notice that Wild Hyde symbols appear in the game by turning three types of symbols into them (Logo, Jekyll and Hyde turn into wilds). You will also find that all the symbols on the screen turn into other symbols randomly. You get new payouts from this re-spin and the Wild Hyde symbol that appears can give you the top jackpot (1200x for five Wild Hyde symbols on a payline).
Mr. Hyde is a bonus symbol, but to do its job it needs the blue potion symbol to be at its sides, on the 2nd and 4th reels. Whenever that happens, Mr. Hyde will give you a prize that is worth up to 20 times what your bet was that round.
Free Games Feature
Even the free games are triggered differently in this slot. You get them by collecting all the red potion symbols that appear in the game. Once the Potion Meter is filled with these potions, you will get your free spins. Unfortunately, each red potion only gets you 1% of the meter filled, so you will need at least a few dozen paid spins before you get this bonus feature.
If the base game has a meter with red potions inside, the free games have their own meter and it requires blue potions. The free games feature ends once you fill the meter with blue potions. The meter can only take 12 blue potions before it’s all filed up, so the number of free games you can use depends on your luck.
Frenzy Bonus
This is a bonus game where you can see how Dr. Jekyll runs through the city, as the police is following him. The longer he can run without being caught, the bigger the prize you can get. The maximum amount is worth 30 times the triggering bet.
Potion Bonus
With Dr. Jekyll appearing on the 2nd and 4th reels, while a logo symbol is on the 3rd, you will get the Potion Bonus game. It’s a round where you make picks and you get rewarded. Each pick is for an ingredient that will go into a potion. Get the potion right, and the prize will be better.
Betting options and jackpots
Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde asks of the player to invest as many as 150 coins, all on the same spin of the reels. The maximum bet uses 5 coins per line, with 30 lines in the game, but you can reduce both the lines and their individual wagers, if you’re not comfortable with a big bet. The betting range is between $0.02 and $75.
There are three different ways you can get the big prize, which is a 1,200x multiple of the line bet. It gives you up to 6,000 coins and the value would be $3,000, if the $0.50 coin denomination was the one selected. You can get the prize either through the Wild Hyde symbol, through Dr. Jekyll or through Mr. Hyde. In each case, five matching symbols are needed on the same line.
Design and symbols
The design is one of the slot’s advantages, but if you tried 3D Slots before, you probably expected that. The 19th century atmosphere is perfectly recreated, at least as it was if you were looking at a gentleman’s study room. The reels seem to be encased themselves in some kind of furniture, with symbols being all related to the action and the main characters.
Symbols: Game Logo (wild), Red Potion/Blue Potion (bonus), Mr. Hyde (1,200x), Dr. Jekyll (1,200x), Policeman (200x), Key (200x), Mansion (150x), Fireplace (150x), Book (100x) and Newspaper (100x).
Is It Worth Playing?
Definitely give this one a go. You might not be impressed by its big prizes, and nobody would blame you, but it’s a stunning slot machine and highly entertaining.
This Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde slot is offered by all online casinos with BetSoft software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
