Play Robin Hoods Wild Forest Slot

Robin Hoods Wild Forest Review

With all the Robin Hood slots coming out recently, we suspect there must be some kind of movie or TV-series in the works that we don’t even know about. Anyway, Robin Hood’s Wild Forest slot from Red Tiger is all about the 3 wild symbol characters, Little John, Maid Marion and Robin Hood himself. There is no free spins bonus round here, but each of the characters can trigger a feature.

The reels are set in the treasure filled Nottingham Forest camp of our outlaw heroes, and it all plays out on 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 ways to win. You can place bets between 10p and £100 per spin across all platforms and devices, and you should also know that the RTP of 95.68 % is a little bit below the industry average of 96 %.

The game itself is visually well-made, but beware, as this version of Robin Hood will not only steal from the rich. Unfortunately, you will have to endure excruciating dry spells between triggering any of the 3 bonus features, and with a 1000x max win potential, it’s just not worth it in our humble opinion. If Robin Hood games is your thing, there are far better alternatives out there (Riches of Robin being perhaps the best).

What symbols are there?

You’ll find 4 different wild symbols here, and 3 of them are character wilds, while one is a regular wild. Still, they all pay out the same, and the characters are, as mentioned above, Robin Hood, Maid Marion and Little John. The other higher value symbols are different items belonging to these characters, and you also find the regular royals of low value here. This is the paytable for Robin Hood’s Wild Forest slot:

• Wild symbols - Pays 30x for 5 on a payline
• Golden lion symbol - Pays 30x for 5 on a payline
• Bag of gold - Pays 15x for 5 on a payline
• Robin’s feathered cap - Pays 8x for 5 on a payline
• A pint of beer - Pays 5x for 5 on a payline
• Royal symbols - Pay between 2x and 1.2x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

The regular wild symbol looks like a red heart, and like the character wilds, it can step in for all regular symbols in a way that maximizes your winnings. These wilds are also the highest paying symbols in the game, and they are involved in all the bonus features you’ll find here.

Each wild has a dedicated bonus feature, but the true magic happens when you land all 3 character wilds on the same spin. Here’s what you can expect from these legendary characters whenever you land 3 of them on the same spin:

• Robin Hood sticky symbol respins - Robin fires arrows at the reels to lock high value symbols. You are then granted a respin, and the respins continue as long as you land more of the same symbol or wilds.
• Maid Marian random wilds - the fair maiden will blow kisses onto the reels, and these add wilds in random positions and give you a new payout calculation.
• Little John’s high-value cascade - the big guy smashes all low value royal symbols, and you get a new cascade of high-value symbols only. This gives you a new payout.
• Consecutive modifiers - If you land 1 of each of the character wilds on the same spin, you will see each of their respective modifiers play out in the following order: Maid Marion, Little John and, at last, Robin Hood.

Free spins in Robin Hoods Wild Forest

Red Tiger seems to move away from the free spins feature more and more, as they keep releasing titles with no bonus round. Whether this is a wise long-term strategy or not, we do not know, but in our view, this game would have benefitted from a decent free spins feature to top it all off. Anyway, this is just not the case here, so you will have to make do with the Robin Hood respins.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

You will not find any kind of jackpot on Robin Hood’s Wild Forest slot, and the potential is not very impressive either. The game comes with a max win of 1000 times your stake, which is just way too low for a medium volatile game. Play with the highest possible stake of £100, and you can pocket up to £30,000 if you fill the screen with either wilds or the highest paying regular symbol.

SlotCatalog verdict

While we recently reviewed what we deemed to be potentially the best Robin Hood slot ever (namly Riches of Robin), Robin Hood’s Wild Forest slot from Red Tiger is sadly a contestant for the worst Robin Hood game ever. Literally nothing happens in the base game, and when you finally land enough wilds to trigger a feature, the payout is hardly worth your while.

How can it be, when the max win is a measly 1000x your stake. We understand that developers sometimes want to diversify their portfolio with low potential slots, but is it too much to ask to make them low volatility, easy-going and entertaining? We think not, and we also don’t think moving away from the free spins feature is all that good of an idea.

Pros

• Cascading win feature
• 3 reel modifiers
• Nice visuals and okay soundtrack

Cons

• Nice visuals and okay soundtrack
• No real action in the base game
• Takes way too long to trigger a reel modifier
• RTP of 95.68 % is well below industry average
