The Alter Ego – Overview
The Jekyll and Hyde theme has always been one that’s been used from time to time by slot providers. It works well because of the duplicity of the character.
So Pragmatic Play’s new slot game, The Alter Ego, uses this theme for their latest slot game release.
As I mentioned above, the game uses a Jekyll and Hyde theme and is a pretty dark looking game. The base game features Dr. Hyde and during free spins he becomes Mr. Hyde.
The game uses 5 reels that are 3, 4, 4, 4 and 3 symbols high and comes with 576 ways in the base game. So winning symbols pay left to right, starting on the first reel, no matter where on the reels.
You will find standard low paying card symbols, as well as all sorts of items belonging to the character. There are also wild symbols, which is the logo, available on reels 2, 3 and 4. All normal paying symbols and mystery symbols, which are also available on this game, can appear multiple on a reel.
Lastly we have the scatter symbol, which is the green serum, which can appear on each reel.
The Alter Ego comes with a nice maximum payout of 10.000 times your bet and is a high volatile slot game.
Features
Mystery Symbols
Mystery symbols, which are question marks, can appear on all reels in both the base game and during free spins. All instances of these symbols will change into one and the same normal paying symbol.
Free Spins Feature
3 or more scatter symbols will award 3 free spins.
The reels that had the triggering scatter symbols will be increased by +1 symbol.
During free spins, when a scatter symbol appears, which are now red, the free spins are reset back to 3. But it will also increase the number of symbols on the reel it landed on by +1.
A reel can reach a maximum number of 10 symbols high during free spins. Giving a maximum of 100.000 ways.
Bonus Buy
Some casinos will offer the option to buy free spins. For 100, 150 and 200 times your bet you will trigger free spins with 3, 4 and 5 scatters respectively.
Verdict
I really enjoy this game. I think the theme works well and looks good.
The base game isn’t that interesting, except for the mystery symbols maybe. But it’s not a game that’s boring.
But free spins are a lot of fun. You keep hoping to get those scatter symbols to reset those free spins and getting more and more ways. Of course, during free spins, you are able to get some huge wins. Especially when you also add the mystery symbols.
Overall The Alter Ego is a solid release and definitely worth a try. I think you will enjoy this one.
