Robin of Sherwood Slot Review
Rabcat has put together several games which have been distributed by Microgaming, and Robin of Sherwood is one such release. It is easy to see Microgaming’s influence in this slot, with the provider’s 243 ways to win payline structure clear. Robin of Sherwood takes us to the heart of the famous tale but may not deliver quite the array of wins you might expect.
This game has been designed to look like a Pixar movie, although it lacks the humour of one. Moreover, the animation adds an extra dynamic to a spin, but the symbols and imagery are predictable. Rabcat’s penchant for 3D imagery just does not add anything to the visual experience of playing Robin of Sherwood.
There are countless Robin Hood-themed games on the net. NetEnt’s Robin Hood: Shifting Riches is one of the better ones you can try. Play’n GO’s Riches of Robin, and WMS’ Lady Robin Hood game are also worth a punt.
Visually, this slot has a lot in common with Rabcat’s Castle Builder, minus the “castle building” part. There are similarities with BetSoft (for its graphics) and other Microgaming (via the 243 ways to win and randomly triggered features) slots, too.
How to Play Robin of Sherwood
Rabcat likes stylish gaming menus, and they have brought that to the table with Robin of Sherwood. While not the most mobile-friendly of interfaces, it does allow you to adjust your stake, gamble any wins you land, and place a maximum bet.
There are 243 ways to win spanning the game’s 5 reels, and you are not going to be able to bet on each line individually, of course. So, you are looking at a minimum stake of 0.20 per spin, rising to no more than 40.00 a pop.
On the upside, that minimum bet is 0.10 cheaper than many other 243-line games.
The reels are littered with multiple instances of various characters from the tales of Robin Hood, including the Sheriff, Maid Marian, Friar Tuck and Little John, not to mention Robin, who acts as the best-paying symbol. These thematic emblems are worth far more than the playing card banners, delivering wins worth up to 50x a bet. Even then, though, the top prize is hardly extravagant.
To aid your chances of landing a win, you have got a few special icons appearing in the game, including…
- Wild – The arrows symbol can substitute for all barring scatters and are worth just as much as Robin himself when they appear in combos.
- Scatter – The target scatters will trigger a free spin bonus when three or more appear.
Game Rules
Robin of Sherwood Slot Features
You are going to find three special bonuses in Robin of Sherwood. None of them is record-breaking in terms of originality, but they can help you land the rather petite prizes that this Rabcat game has to offer. Let us look at each in turn…
A randomly triggered mode, it will see playing card banners on selected reels transformed into wilds. Your odds of success are then checked over, and if there is a chance to pocket a price, you will do so. This bonus will turn out to be rather insignificant, given the small winnings at stake.
Triggered by three or more target scatters, you will get ten non-triggerable free spins here. While the spin round is played out, another feature kicks into gear…
While you are enjoying your free spins, a symbol removal function will take away the lowest paying icons (the playing card banners) on every two turns. By the final two spins in this round, you should get to play with nothing but the thematic character symbols on the screen, and that will bolster your odds of winning decent prizes.
Following a win, you can opt to fire arrows at targets. If you successfully land your shot, you can double your winnings. Miss, though, you will lose the lot. You can gamble your wins up to five times with this mode.
