The Alter Ego

The Alter Ego is a gothic-themed online slot developed by Pragmatic Play, inspired by the classic novel “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” The game features a 5-reel layout with 3-4-4-4-3 symbols and 576 ways to win. The atmosphere is eerie and mysterious, set in the foggy streets of Victorian-era London.

The base game includes the Mystery Symbol feature, where the ‘?' symbol can appear on any reel and transform into a randomly selected matching pay symbol, potentially leading to larger payouts. The game logo Wild symbol substitutes for any pay symbol, appearing on the three middle reels to help create winning combinations.

The Free Spins bonus round is triggered by landing three or more Green Potion Scatter symbols. During this feature, the player starts with three free spins, and the tally resets each time a new scatter lands. The top-tier character symbol is replaced by its “Mr. Hyde” counterpart, and the Green Potion Scatter is replaced by a Red Potion Scatter. The reels with triggering scatters increase by one position in height from the start, and all new scatters that land have the same effect on the reels, up to a maximum of 10 positions per reel. A fully expanded grid offers 100,000 ways to win.

Symbols in the game include:

• Dr. Jekyll (Mr. Hyde in Free Spins)
• Pistol, Watch, Hat
• A, K, Q, J, 10, 9

The Alter Ego is a highly volatile slot with an RTP ranging from 93.99% to 96.07%, depending on the operator's settings. The maximum win potential is 10,000x the player's stake, with a hit frequency of 1 in 5 spins and a free spins frequency of 1 in 321 spins.
