Robin Hood on Play8oy: Filling Shields for Locked Wild Reels

Robin Hood is a Bally Technologies slot on Play8oy, and most of what makes it worth playing happens in the free games. The base game is a standard line slot: spin, match symbols along a payline, collect. The interesting part is a shield mechanic that can lock entire reels as wild.

Symbols and bets in Robin Hood

The theme is Sherwood Forest. The picture symbols are arrows, daggers, hip flasks, silver coins and gold coins, and the lower pays are the familiar card ranks from Ace down to 10.

Before you spin, pick your stake. You may see a range of 0.01 up to 10 per spin quoted in a foreign currency, so check the RM figures in the Play8oy app before you commit.

A wild symbol substitutes for the regular symbols in the main game. Two more special symbols matter: the free game symbol, and a target symbol that only shows up in the bonus round.

How the shields and free games work

Land three free game symbols and you get 10 free spins. At the start of the round you are handed three arrows, and a shield split into four sections appears above each of reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Each time a target symbol lands, it adds an arrow and fills part of a shield. Complete all four sections of a shield and the reel underneath it turns into a wild reel for the rest of the free games. Lock two or three reels this way and even ordinary symbols start connecting across most lines.

The Arrow Mystery Wild

There is one more feature that can fire at random. Robin Hood lets loose between 2 and 8 arrows, they land on random positions, and each one becomes a wild. It is unpredictable by design, so treat it as a bonus rather than something to chase.

Like any slot, results are random and the house keeps an edge, so set a spending limit before a session. You can play Robin Hood on Play8oy or browse more Play8oy reviews.
