Lady Robin Hood Slot Review
Bally gives an alternative vision on Robin Hood, a fictional character from English folklore. In this 5-reel slots, Robin Hood is depicted as a brave lady who robs the rich and gives loot to the poor. With this unusual twist to the classic plot, the slot offers a pack of interesting features such as sticky wilds, stacked symbols and free spins. In base game, you will benefit from a random Arrow Mystery Wild bonus and receive up to 8 wilds in view. In free spins, show your marksmanship, win up to 5 locked wild reels and celebrate plenty of rewards.
Needless to say, the game features a 5×4 layout, which is a typical one for Bally. The number of paylines, forty in total, is also a standard element for that developer. Players who like low bets have a choice starting at $0.40 per spin and up, while high bettors are welcome to place as much as $400.
There are 10 regular symbols, with half of them being playing cards and the remainder are the things associated with Medieval times including a small leather bag with silver and gold coins, a metal beer tankard, a sword, arrows in a quiver and Robin Hood herself aiming his bow at you. Traditionally, pictures are more valuable than playing cards but payouts in this slot are so low that the difference between the symbol groups is small: the max award for five Aces is $500 and the max payout for five Robin Hood symbols (the highest payer, by the way) is $1000. If you are familiar with Bally games, you should not be surprised with the low maximum prize because this is offset by very frequent wins.
Stacked symbol
Lady, the main character of the slot, is the only symbol that comes stacked. A vertically positioned chain of these symbols can cover an entire reel and contribute to a win, especially in conjunction with wild symbols.
Arrow Mystery Wild
During any spin in the base game, a couple of arrows would fly onto the screen and pin down 2 to 8 symbols that will instantly turn into wilds. At the same time, the reels will continue spinning. When they stop, the newly created wilds will sub for regular pictures, create combinations and earn you some payline awards.
Free games bonus
A symbol stylized as a coat of arms with the LRH wording is a scatter symbol. If it hits reels 1, 3 and 5 simultaneously, you get 10 free spins plus your total bet doubled. Free spins are the most spectacular and rewarding feature in the game. Above reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, there are small shields divided crosswise into four sections each.
Before free spins begin, you are awarded three arrow shots. A target with four concentric circles titled Reel 2, Reel 3… etc. appears in front of the reels and the slot releases three arrows automatically. Depending on which part of the target the arrows hit, shield sections above the corresponding reel are filled. Then free spins begin, during which every target symbol landing in any place awards one arrow shot. When all the four sections of any shield are completed, the related reel becomes full wild for the remaining free spins.
Summary
The slot seems simple on the surface but it has an enticing free spin round where you collect arrows and earn sticky wild reels. Other features are a wild substitute and stacked high-paying symbol. The max non-feature prize is $1000.
