Play Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (IronDog) Slot

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (IronDog) Review

There are already some pretty good slots out there based on the legendary story about Dr Jekyll who turns into his mayhem-prone alter-ego, Mr Hyde. Does Iron Dog have ambitions of making their Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde slot into the alpha of the pack, or are they content with simply making a decent and mediocre addition to the mix?

This is the question we will try to answer in this review, but let’s start with the basics. The game has a victorian style, and it all plays out on 5 reels, 3 rows and 30 ways to win. You can place bets between 30p and £45 per spin across all platforms and devices, and the game comes with a rather standard RTP of 96.06 % (which gives you a House edge of 3.94 %).

The expanding wilds in the base game is somewhat helpful, but you really need to trigger the bonus round to get the juices flowing here. This is where you can make your choice between Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and each free spins feature comes with a unique wild reel modifier. In that sense, the game stays somewhat true to the original vision of novelist Robert Louis Stevenson, but it does not really stick out all that much from the herd.

What symbols are there?

Not surprisingly, the main character, Dr Jekyll, is also the best paying symbol here, closely followed by his alter-ego, Mr Hyde. The royal symbols look kind of fancy, but they don’t really pay out anything out of the ordinary. Either way, you need between 3 and 5 matching symbols on a payline to win, and here is the paytable for Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde slot:

• Dr Jekyll - Pays 33.3x for 5 on a payline
• Mr Hyde - Pays 26.6x for 5 on a payline
• Police helmet - Pays 20x for 5 on a payline
• Cigar - Pays 13.3x for 5 on a payline
• Scroll - Pays 6.6x for 5 on a payline
• Royal symbols - Pay between 3.3x and 1.3x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

You will not find a massive amount of bonus features in this game, which makes what you do find even more important. Firstly, the wild symbol is filled with different color mixtures and elixirs, and it can step in for all regular symbols to help you form winning combos. Whenever you land a wild symbol on the top position on a reel, it will expand to cover the full reel and look like Mr. Hyde on his way out to create mayhem.

Free spins in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

The scatter symbol is unlike anything we’ve seen before, as half of it shows the transformative green elixir and the other half is a police badge. It captures the dualistic nature of this story in a nice way, and you need to land 3 scatters on the same spin to trigger the game’s free spins bonus round.

You will get 20, 30 or 50 free spins when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters, respectively, and both the background and the soundtrack has a dramatic change when the feature plays out. You then get to choose between Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde, and each version of the bonus round comes with different and unique extras.

The path of Dr Jekyll gives you a full reel walking sticky wilds that start off on the 3 middle reels. They will then move left until they fall off the screen. The path of Mr Hyde gives you spreading sticky wilds, and they double in number for each spin up to 4. This can really help to fill up the screen with wilds, and land you some nice wins.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

You cannot win any kind of jackpot on Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde slot, and it’s not really possible to win a massive amount in this game. Fill the reels with nothing but Dr Jekyll, with or without the help from wilds, and you get the game’s max win of 1,000x your stake. This is an okay potential for a medium volatile slot, but nothing that makes the hair stand up on our backs.

SlotCatalog verdict

You are not in for a revolutionary experience with Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, but it’s still a game that will keep you entertained for a while. It does not matter that much which of the free spins features you choose, but the spreading sticky wilds feature might be a bit easier to land bigger wins with. The potential of 1,000x is rather mediocre, and we don’t see this game taking the lead as the “definite” Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde slot.

Pros

• Expanding wilds in the base game
• Choice of 2 free spins features with wild extras
• Medium volatility

Cons

• Has a mediocre vibe to it, and ditto potential
