- Based on the exciting story of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
- Has a mysterious theme with mystery symbols too!
- Up to an impressive 100,000 ways to win in the main bonus
The Alter Ego slot is a new game from Pragmatic Play and it has a slightly spooky, atmospheric feel about it. That’s because it’s based on the popular story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde, though presumably for copyright reasons they make no direct references to this. Set on the dark streets of England, you have 5 reels and 4 rows, though the middle 3 reels only cover the top row. Just spin the reels to try and get a winning combination from left to right using the following base symbols:
- 9, 10 or Jack
- Queen, King or Ace
- Hat
- Compass
- Gun
- Man

The Alter Ego Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. This is shown as the logo of the game and it substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the scatter and mystery symbols. It can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4.
Mystery Symbols. Shown as a question mark, these symbols can appear on all reels and whenever they do, they turn into the same, randomly chosen symbol apart from wilds or scatters.
Free Spins Bonus. To trigger this, you need to land 3 or more scatter symbols, giving you 3 free spins. During these, whenever you land another scatter symbol, you’ll reset your spins back to 3. There are two special symbols in this bonus, the ‘alter ego’ man which replaces the man from the main game, and a potion which replaces the scatter symbol. When you land scatter symbols in this game, not only does it reset the spins but you’ll increase the number of symbols on the reel it lands on by 1, vertically, and this persists until the end of the bonus up to a maximum of 10 symbols per reel. This means you can get up to an impressive 100,000 ways to win.
Bonus Buy. This is an option for some players outside the U.K. where you can buy the bonus outright for a set fee. 100x bet will give you 3 scatters, but 150x will give you 4 scatters and 200x will give you 5. The more scatters you have, the more reels will expand and the more ways to win you’ll have.
Conclusion
The Alter Ego slot from Pragmatic Play is a nicely-designed game based on the popular story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde, although there are no direct references to this. In the base game, the only features so to speak of are wild symbols and mystery symbols that can appear from time to time. The main bonus is a bit different, giving you 3 spins and the only way to reset them is by landing scatters which also increase the number of symbols on the reel they land on. This can give you an impressive 100,000 ways to win if you’re lucky, and the maximum win potential is capped at 10,000x your stake. There’s nothing particularly bad about this game, but there’s nothing special about it either really and I do think an extra feature here might have helped or maybe some multipliers.
