Dr. Jekyll Goes Wild

About Dr Jekyll Goes Wild slot

Dr. Jekyll is the respectable doctor who from time to time turns into the hell-mad Mr. Hyde in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. The story is that the Doctor Is Bored and therefore invents an elixir that turns him into a primitive and brutal barbarian. He simply wants to be able to live around without tarnishing his impeccable character.

Game developer Barcrest (the game is located at Scientific Games platform) has taken Robert Louis Stevenson's story straight off and created a slot where in the dark alleys of London we get to meet both Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. There's a very distinct Victorian style to both the graphics and the sound, and the idea is for us gamers to feel like we're transported back to the second half of the 19th century. If you are a fan of history and do not pull yourself to play on slots with the theme of mystery and horror, you can't miss this slot!

The game idea is basically simple. You play 10 fixed lines with an effort between 0.10-500$ per line . With two or three in a row, you take home a win. However, the real fun begins in the free spins round when you can play two different variants and spin a virtually unlimited number of times.

Stakes and winnings

With coin values of between 0.10 and 500$ as well as 10 fixed lines, a spin on the game costs between 1 – 5000$ . It is a huge width and the game is therefore suitable for all players. Unfortunately, autoplay is not available.

The most you can spin home when playing Dr Jekyll Goes Wild is 250 000 coins . This is a huge max win! While it may be virtually impossible to hit it, it's good to know that the game can be incredibly generous when it's in the mood. This is also what makes the game such a classic at land-based casinos.

Interestingly, Dr. Jekyll Goes Wild has three different sizes of payback over time (RTP). Even more interesting is that it is the size of the bet that determines how much you get back.

If you play for bets of less than$ 20, you will get a low RTP, namely 94,20%. If you choose a bet of$ 20 or more, the payback suddenly becomes a decent 96.20%. The maximum RTP you get if you play with Big Bets (98.20%).

Symbols

Barcrest / Scientific Games has added five unique symbols to the catalog of paying icons. It's about the logo, a picture of Big Ben, a street lamp, a rack with five test tubes and a piece of paper with a goose pen. For the symbols that bring a little less winnings, the game developers have reused the classic playing card symbols (a-10). However, it should be said that there is no huge difference between, for example, The Big Ben symbol and the a symbol.

Game features

It is in the free spins rounds that ”everything happens” in Dr Jekyll Goes Wild. If you are a fan of Free Spins features with many specials and an opportunity for a spin on an endless line of successive free games, you must not miss this game.

Free Spins

A symbol that represents both the Good Doctor and his violent alter ego is the free spins scatter. Three, four and five such icons, respectively, will give you 10, 15 and 20 free spins, respectively. You play these with the same stakes and lines as the base game. If you get additional Jekyll symbols on the screen, you win additional ones free spins .

The special you get to play with in the feature is that Dr. Jekyll takes on the role of wild. A new symbol also appears on the reel for the first reel. This symbol, which represents the mentioned elixir, gives you the opportunity to play Hyde Spins.

Hyde Spins

Should the elixir symbol land on reel 1, the free spins round will switch to the feature Unlimited Hyde Spins . This round has no definite end, but can last for eons of time.

When an hourglass symbol appears on reel 5, it will either end the round or continue with more Hyde Spins. If the bonus ends, the game will return to Jekyll Free Spins mode, provided there are spins left to play.

Of course, there is also a wild feature in Hyde Spins. It is also clearly sharpened compared to the function of Jekyll Spins. Each Hyde symbol is wild and every time a joker appears, it is locked onto its position. Should you hit a Jekyll joker in the same round as the elixir symbol appears, that Joker will automatically become sticky.

With this sticky wilds feature, there is a chance to get a winline, that is, a line that brings profit in just every spin. This feature is recognized, among other things, from NetEnt's Dead or Alive. The specialty will receive the greatest payoff if you activate it with a game with a Big Bet.

Big Bet

As with many other Barcrest slots, Dr. Jekyll Goes Wild has a Big bet feature. The idea of this type of feature is to give you an opportunity for more profitable spins in return for paying a little more for your spins.

If you place a Big bet, you first get to pay a hefty extra bet on a board. You then get five spins of the reels and here you should look out for the symbol that shows both Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. The more symbols that appear, the more free spins in Jekyll Free Spins mode you get to play (up to a maximum of 75!).

With $ 200 in stake$, at least three symbols are used to get you free spins (5). If you bet$ 300, you will get 10 spins for three symbols. If you play for$ 400, two symbols will be enough for you to gain entry to the bonus round, and with$ 500 in stake, you will get 10 spins for two symbols. In addition, six symbols in total are enough for you to get a maximum of 75 spins.

Summary

Dr. Jekyll Goes Wild really stands out from the crowd with its Big Bet feature and its really cool free spins round. It is also delicious that it is possible to play a spin for anything between 1 – 5000$. The graphics and sound may not be amazing, but we think the game holds up in every way.

Important to know and remember is that RTP is different for different stakes. Playing with small stakes is not very profitable in the long run. At the same time, everyone may not be so comfortable playing for higher amounts. A good tip is to play for free (for example here in our review) and then try with higher stakes. Also, try activating the Big Bet feature to see how it works before betting real money.
