Lady Robin Hood

Who says Robin Hood actually has to be male? The tables are turned in the Lady Robin Hood online slot from Bally Technologies, where the hero is actually a heroine. It’s a traditional five-reel setup with 40 paylines, although the take on the myth of Robin Hood is a bit different since the main character is a feisty female. She takes the original guy’s role of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, and makes it her own.

The reels come in a fairly basic design with a backdrop of Sherwood Forest peeking out behind. The graphics don't pop from the screen as much as they do on other games but there are some nice touches like the arrow that delivers the Wild Symbols onto the reels.

The symbols in this game are all relatively low-paying, with the highest win possible a mere 5 coins. This comes from Lady Robin Hood herself, who is aiming her arrow into the woods. Other symbols include a quiver full of arrows, a sword, a tankard overflowing with beer, a bag of gold and silver coins, and letters and numbers to round out the set.

The Wild Symbol substitutes for all symbols apart from the Free Games symbol. The Wild Free Games symbol can count as both a Wild Symbol and a Free Games Symbol. When you play the free games (you can get up to 10 free games with a x2 multiplier) you collect Target symbols, and these give you arrows.

As you collect arrows these fill parts of the shield, and when all the portions of the shield are filled that reel turns Wild for all the rest of the free spins. There’s also an Arrow Mystery Wild Bonus which sets up between two and eight Wild Symbols on the reels at a random point in the main game.

Male or female, you’ll enjoy playing this game with its random Wild Symbols, Free Spins, and Multipliers. There’s plenty of action and just enough interest in the graphics to make this game stand out from the crowd. Take aim and fire – you could be boosting your own treasure trove.
