Robin's Loot Slot Machine
Robin’s Loot by Playlabs is a 15-payline online slot that transports you to back to mediaeval times and harks back to the legend of Robin Hood. The backdrop to the reels is a castle wall adorned with flags representing the crests of various noble houses, and the music is a particularly catchy little melody that you can imagine would follow you through the cobbled streets of a provincial town, played by a wandering minstrel.
There’s a cast of characters which you might typically find in a fairy tale: the king, who has his hand raised in a metaphorical grasp for power; the village drunk with a tankard in hand; the prison guard who threatens the player with a set of handcuffs; and the elaborately handwritten letters J, Q and K, which are the lowest scoring symbols.
Steal from the Rich, Give to the Poor
The higher scoring characters are outlined by a green rather than gold frame, and include the Lady Marian dressed in blue; a big menacing fellow with his hand clenched in a fist that must be a cohort of Robin’s; and Robin himself, the dashing young hero in green who carries a quiver of arrows strapped to his back. Your task then becomes clear, as you follow along in the footsteps of a story that dates back to the ballads of the 13th century. Along with Robin, you have to navigate the evil bourgeoisie of the town and redistribute the wealth appropriately (by giving it to yourself of course).
Along with the character icons, there are some special symbols worth keeping an eye out for as you spin the reels. One of them is a bullseye, a favourite for target practice by archers everywhere. Landing on some of these also lets you have a shot - not with arrows, but with free spins. Three bullseyes will grant you five free spins, four will give you ten free spins, and five will present you with 15 free spins. What’s more, all free spins are multiplied by two, so you can really count on Robin Hood not to disappoint you with his his altruistic theft.
The wild symbol, represented by a blowing horn that might have once signalled a call to battle or maybe just a reminder for a big feast, substitutes any symbol apart from the free spins or bonus games. And in Robin’s Loot, you can bet from 0.15 to 15.00.
Take Aim
The last icon to keep an eye out for is the pot with the sparkling gold spilling out of it, which is the symbol for the bonus game, and you need three of them to activate it. These kinds of bonus games are popular in other Playlabs titles. During this round you’ll have a chance to put your own archery skills to the test by choosing a prescribed number of bags and trying to split them with your own set of arrows. If you successfully hit a bag, the winnings go straight into your gold pile. After you see the ‘collect’ prompt, that means the game has ended and the extra loot is all yours.
Try Lady Robin Hood
Perhaps you’re looking for something with a bit more girl power? Or a few more paylines? Fear not, because there’s also Lady Robin Hood from Bally. Another 5-reel slot, this time with 40 paylines, Lady Robin Hood also offers a lot of great bonus rounds such as an archery round called the Arrow Mystery Wild Bonus, as well as scatter symbols and free spins. The game features artwork in more subdued and earthy hues, which really brings the forest to life.
If it’s dragons and magic that really draw you in, check out Medieval Magic by Bede Gaming. This game is chock full of lavender and royal blue colours which invoke the sense of lovingly illustrated storybooks, and also gives you full control over your paylines. You can activate free spins with the help of a bumbling wizard who can make himself disappear, and the big bad dragon can earn you a jackpot of up to 10,000 coins.
Middle Age Mayhem
The Middle Ages may have been a crummy time to be alive: the plague, the poverty, the lack of social mobility and plumbing; and yet, the aura of castles and royalty capture our imaginations time and time again. This mobile-compatible slot lets you step into the shoes of Robin Hood and captures your sense of adventure with its atmospheric music, memorable characters and plenty of chances to earn bonuses.
