The title of this slot stuck me as a little odd, what kind of band did they mean, and why was this band playing in a forest? When you see the design on the reels, it quickly becomes apparent that the theme is (loosely) Robin Hood. There is a male character (presumably Robin), a maid-Marian, a sheriff’s castle and so on. This is a 5 reel, 3 row video slot which uses a 20 win-line system. The main attraction is the free spins bonus round, which features sticky wilds. There is also the progressive jackpot game which is shared by all EGT slots.

You’ll see a forest in the background of this slot, or at least a little of it. The reels have tan background and are a mix of detailed graphics work and plain and bold playing card symbols. There are some short animations on the reels when different symbols are involved in wins. These do not expand out of the boundaries of individual symbols – making them a little small to see all of the details. Examples of great graphics include the imposing castle, target with arrow and the bag of golden coins – the hawk is also beautifully drawn. Sounds are a mix of the plain ‘click-click’ when the reels stop spinning, though to medieval tunes for some of the wins and during the sequence when the free spins game starts.

The method of selecting how many win-lines you are playing is unusual on EGT slots. This is controlled by clicking on a bar either side of the reels which has numbers on it. 20 lines is the default for this game, with 15, 10, 5 and 1 as options. The most common bet amounts are on 5 buttons below the reels. These say 20, 40, 100, 200 and 400 coins; you can adjust the number of credits per line if you wish. Auto play is a simple start / stop system, and you can gamble wins of up to 700 coins on the flip of a playing card.

Bigger wins come from the free spins game (with sticky wilds), so the regular wins seem smaller than on some EGT titles. Robin Hood (or rather, the leader of the ‘Forest Band’) has the biggest prize. This symbol is worth 1000 coins for 5, 400 for 4, 75 for 3 and 10 for just 2. Maid Marian has a top prize of 750 coins for 5, with the hawk and gold coming next at 400. The cap and horn are next – with playing cards ace down to jack making up the smaller wins.

Castles are the wild symbol, and appear on the 2nd through to 4th reels. This will substitute for any of the regular symbols (not the scatter) to complete winning combinations. Since there is no wild on the first reel, it is not possible to get 5 of a kind for this.

Scatter symbols are the archery target. If you hit 3 (these only appear on the first, third and fifth reel), then you win 100 coins and also trigger the free spins bonus round.

Before you start the free spins you go to a full screen graphic of a forest where your spins are announced (complete with the medieval tune). Next you go to the reels, where the game will quickly cycle through your games. Any wilds which appear on the reels stay in place for the remainder of the spins. This means you can end the round with a lot of wilds in place, generating some significant wins at times. At the end of the game you go back to the forest scene, where a flaming arrow has appeared in the target, and your total wins are displayed.

This slot also includes the standard EGT jackpot game. Above the reels, there are 4 ‘suit’ jackpots, which will keep climbing while you play. At random, you will be taken to a screen with 12 cards all face-down. You click these until you have 3 of one suit, at which point that is the jackpot you win. These are not ‘life changing’ amounts, though very welcome none the less.

I cannot imagine Robin Hood is still under copyright – so the name of this slot does confuse me a little. All-in-all this is a solid slot. While the graphics on the individual symbols (and animations) are excellent, the game overall does feel a little old fashioned. The main attraction is the free spins with sticky wilds – which can generate a lot of wins, especially if you are lucky enough to hit the wild symbols early in the bonus round.
