Robin Hood Outlaw Slots
If you haven’t heard of Robin Hood then where have you been all your life - the guy is a legend! Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor is the reason why numerous films have been made about him, from animated foxes occupying the main role to that of Kevin Costner. And now it’s your time to shine as this roguish hero in Saucify’s slot machine, Robin Hood Outlaw.
It takes place and follows much of the traditional story of Robin Hood and his Merry Men, though the aesthetics here are a lot more childlike and in-keeping with those seen in picture books. But this rough and ready quality is deceiving, for this is one of the best slots you’re going to play for some time, and not just because you play a vigilante.
A lot of intriguing features will pop up along the way, which helps to make this game a medium to high variance slot machine of 5-reels and 20 paylines. Better still is that huge 160,000 credits jackpot you’re going to steal back and give to the good people of Nottingham.
Introductions
A story as timeless as this shouldn’t need any introductions, but in case it does you’re in luck as Saucify have included one within their game. When the screen loads, you’ll be forgiven for thinking you’re watching the beginnings of some internet exclusive cartoon, as there is no hint of betting mentioned. It’s only when Robin fires an arrow and hits the word outlaw (at the same time as he says it) that it’s revealed you’ve been loading a game.
The moment the clip started playing we were hooked, mainly because of how much attention to detail it illustrated to us, which was only strengthened later on when the title started for real.
Warrant for Your Arrest
Seeing as you’re the bad guy, as far as the law is concerned, you’ll have to fight your way through many guards in order to walk away with all that money. You will have allies to aid you, but King John is a slimy man not to be trusted or underestimated, though he can reward you handsomely if you find several of his tiles at any one time. Five of him and players will get 800 credits, though the menacing looking bishop also packs a punch, rewarding up to 300.
This is all so far so normal, though the payouts are promising. However, when we move onto the dynamics of the special features, Robin Hood Outlaw goes up in everyone’s estimations. The stacked wild in itself is rewarding, as is the free spins scatter symbol that gifts customers as many as 12 extra games, however it’s the wild and scatters inside of the free spins that are most exciting.
If Robin shows up on any of your reels, one of his arrows will select an icon at random to before the wild for the rest of the spins. And as for the scatters, well there is a good and bad: the cart full of riches is the good that will give you coins, while the sheriff will take them away. You will note that there is a pile of silver coins stacked up on the right hand side of the grid, which then fills when good scatters are found, but decreases when bad ones appear; you only need two for the difference to be felt.
Quick Heist!
Those free spins are more than enough to keep the majority of us happy, but then you have the storm the castle bonus round. You need to fill up all those gold coins to activate it, but when you do it’s a fun and mad search for as much money as you can find! You can collect what you find at any time, though it ends the round and thus you miss out on other rewards - it’s a case of how chicken you are.
Place Your Bets
In Robin Hood Outlaw you not only decide your paylines and number of coins, but also how much those coins are worth, essentially allowing you more control over how your money is used. Starting bets can be as low as 0.01 per coin, with the highest amount of coins you can play on each line being 3, meaning your total bet is 20 credits. Nice and easy.
The Legacy of a Legend
This slot machine is awesome, totally and utterly awesome. There is nothing really wrong with it, and nothing that needs changing - it’s quick, fun and rewarding, you don’t need anything else!
