Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Review

With over 250,000 copies sold by 1901 to say this story is a staple classic would be an understatement, in fact, it was so popular that there are over 123 film versions made. The well respected Dr. Jekyll and his infamous alter ego Mr. Hyde spring to life once again in this movie-quality video slot by Betsoft. Based on the original classic novel by the same name written by Robert Louis Stevenson, this game has modernized a story that was first published over 100 years ago. Betsoft has done an incredible job of taking this timeless classic, adding some magnificent animation and a collection of great bonuses and features including some free spins and a thrilling bonus game, and making it an equally timeless slot. This adventure-packed game will have you holding your breath on every spin and just when you thought it couldn’t get any better Betsoft has made it mobile friendly so you can take this fun-filled fantasy with you on the go!

What’s happening on the reels

You can play out this incredible story over 5 blood pumping reels and 30 incredibly rewarding paylines that will have you hitting spin every time. 

With medium volatility you will always be one step ahead of this crazy duo and constantly on the money. This coupled with the high standard of 3D animation that we have come to expect from a good Betsoft game you will find yourself sucked in and not wanting to leave.

This game has a rather warm and inviting backdrop made up of Dr. Jekyll’s laboratory with perfectly placed potion bottles, books, and windows with the moonlight streaming in, which all come together to create an atmosphere of mystery. The game symbols match their backdrop perfectly and consist of the charming yet quirky Dr. Jekyll, a fearsome Mr. Hyde, the Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde Logo, the police, a lock and key, Dr. Jekyll’s house, a warm fireplace, newspaper, and a Book. The highest paying symbols are the Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde characters and the Wild Hyde. 

This is the easiest laboratory you will ever have to navigate with Betsoft sticking to their standard control layout and taking the guesswork out of these experiments. You will find everything you need to be successful under the reels including a variety of bet options below the reels, as well as paylines, total bet, play, nd the ever-useful autoplay. If you feel unsure at any time, ave no fear, for there are also view pays and summary buttons in the top right button to help you on your way to greatness.  

Free Spins

Free spins are something every slot player looks forward to and this game throws a unique spin on them making them even more exciting this unique twist comes in the form of a Potion Meter that relates back to the 2 Potion symbols that can be found on the reels. The Red and Blue Potions appear on reels 2 and 4 and by collecting 100 Red Potion symbols, the Free Spins feature will be triggered. The Blue Potion symbols will appear during a free spins bonus round and will fill up the blue Potion Meter. When this meter is full the free spins round will come to an end. It takes 12 Blue Potion symbols to end the free spins game.

Other Features

Another fun aspect of the potions meter occurs when the Red Potion appears next to Dr. Jekyll on the reels, all of the  Logo, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde symbols will become Wild Hyde symbols. This causes the best kind of chaos and all of the symbols on the reels to go a little bonkers and mixed up, creating a brand new formation of symbols paying out more winnings and a special bonus win for the Wild Hyde symbol, what is not to love about that.

The multiplier bonus is also tied to the potion meter and is triggered when the Blue Potion appears next to the Mr. Hyde symbol. When this happens the player is awarded a 20X multiplier on the original bet, as well as a random multiplier that awards the player between 5X and 20X the bet.

Fancy yourself a potions master? The Potion Bonus game is the one for you. This fun game brought to life when 2 Dr. Jekyll symbols appear on either side of the Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde Logo on reels 2, 3, and 4. During this bonus, players select potion ingredients to brew a monster antidote. The amount won will depend on how quickly the potion maker can choose the correct ingredients. 

The last bonus to keep an eye out for is the  Frenzy Bonus which is triggered when 2 Mr. Hyde symbols and the Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde Logo appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 in the same spin. This is a game of chance where you will be made to choose between a left or right turn. Choose wisely because making the right choice will earn you a bet multiplier worth up to 30X.

To sum it all up

Betsoft has delivered another award-winning performance with this magnificent 3D slot. Everything from the backdrop to the animation and sound effects all work together to produce a Hollywood-worthy slot. That coupled with a menu of incredible features and bonus games will have you returning again and again. This is a marvelous mystery that is worthy of the reputation of the book it is based on.
