Game Interface & Controls

Robin of Sherwood’s control panel is at the bottom of the screen, with all the buttons you need to play labelled clearly. The spin button, designed to resemble a wooden board, sits in the middle of the control panel.

Press the left and right arrows on either side of the stake meter to set up your stake. Your current total bet is shown above it. You’ll find the autoplay button to the right, and the nearby max bet button instantly boosts your stake to the top level.

The gamble button is only available after a winning spin. If you want to check the paytable, tap the ‘i’ icon in the bottom-right corner at any time.

Game Symbols

Robin of Sherwood includes a fun and vibrant set of symbols with great character designs. Robin Hood is the top-paying standard symbol, which is only fair as he’s the star. But you’ll also see the infamous Sheriff of Nottingham, the beautiful Maid Marian, Robin’s trusty right-hand man, Little John, and the jolly Friar Tuck.

Other symbols are a jack, queen, king, and ace. The Wild symbol features three arrows, and the Scatter is a target board.

Robin Hood pays 50x your bet for five consecutive reels. The Sheriff of Nottingham and Maid Marian pay 25x and 12.5x your bet for 5, respectively.

Get 5 Little John symbols to win 5x your stake. Friar Tuck offers 2.5x your bet for 5. The jack symbol is worth 0.5x your bet for 5, and the queen pays 0.6x.

Get five kings or aces to win 0.75x or 1x your stake, respectively. If you land 5 Wild symbols in a winning combination, you’ll get 50x your bet.

How to Win

Robin of Sherwood has 243 ways to win: line up 3, 4, or 5 identical symbols along consecutive reels (starting from the leftmost reel) to form a winning combination. The Wild symbol substitutes for other symbols to help you create wins, too. You’ll launch the Free Spins feature if you get enough Scatter symbols.

Bonus Features

The Wild Turning feature can trigger at random. It transforms all jacks, queens, kings, and aces on randomly selected reels into Wild symbols.

Match 3 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid to win ten free spins. Sadly, you can’t retrigger this feature.

Royal Clearing is active only in the Free Spins Feature. The symbol paying the minor prize on the reels will be removed on every second spin. That can make lining up more valuable wins easier, as only higher-paying symbols will be left behind.

You can play the Gamble Feature after any winning spin in the base game. Just press the gamble button below the reels to give it a try.

Predict whether Robin Hood will hit a green or red target with his bow and arrow. If you guess correctly, you’ll double the gambled prize. You can win up to five times in a row, but an incorrect guess will send you back to the base game without any of these wins.

Max Win, You Can Expect?

Sadly, Robin of Sherwood offers one of the lowest maximum wins in a slot — 150x your bet per spin. The bonuses can help you get the top payout, whether by doubling your wins or adding more Wilds to the reels. If you’re more interested in the size of the prizes available than the theme and gameplay, Robin of Sherwood probably won’t work for you.

How RTP Affects Payouts

The Return to Player (RTP) for Robin of Sherwood is 95.85%. The average RTP for a slot is 96%, so Robin of Sherwood’s is just below that. But RTP isn’t an exact representation of the return you can expect — yours could be higher or lower.

Robin of Sherwood’s volatility is in the medium range: the prizes are generally low and may be awarded less often than in a slot with lower volatility (on average).

Visual & Sound Experience

The visuals in Robin of Sherwood feature lots of colour and character, with a cartoonish style that makes it look like it could be based on an animated movie. The character symbols are well-designed, and the Sherwood forest setting looks excellent in the base game. During the Free Spins feature, the action moves to a castle: the Sheriff of Nottingham watches while Robin Hood fires arrows at targets to remove royal symbols from the reels.

Robin of Sherwood’s sound has a tranquil feel for the most part. It features birdsong and gently plucked string instruments. Triumphant music plays each time you win, too.

How Does Robin of Sherwood Compare?

Robin of Sherwood takes place in the medieval era, and many other slots have a similar setting. Some feature fantasy elements, such as dragons and magic, while others are more realistic. You’ll also find slots featuring legendary characters, such as King Arthur. Let’s see how Robin of Sherwood compares to Avalon, Avalon II and The Green Knight set in a similar time and place.

Pros and Cons

Our Verdict

In some ways, Robin of Sherwood is a missed opportunity. Rabcat has gotten a lot of things right with it. The graphics are impressive and a good use of Robin Hood’s character. The Free Spins Feature with the Royal Clearing bonus works well, and the Wild Turning bonus can make it easier to win by adding Wilds, too.

But the major problem with the game is the tiny max win on offer: 150x your bet. That’s so low that players may ignore the game and try one with higher payouts instead. The RTP is also slightly below average, which is worth keeping in mind if you intend to play.

If you can overlook the minor prizes, Robin of Sherwood is entertaining enough with an excellent design. Try our free demo to see what it offers before you play it with real money.
