Discover the Robin Hood: Shifting Riches slot machine

Robin Hood: Shifting Riches is a slot machine that operates on a 5x3 grid. It has 20 paylines. It is a fairly simple, basic mechanism, but terribly effective. In fact, the fact that there are few symbols and options on this slot machine allows players to focus on the essentials.

Launched in 2016, this slot has gradually established itself among online gaming enthusiasts, thanks to its simplicity, but also to the Robin Hood universe which offers the chance of winning against the house.

The symbols on Robin Hood: Shifting Riches

The symbols on this Robin Hood: Shifting Riches slot machine work in a fairly classic way. That is to say, they are divided into several "groups". On the one side, we find the "Card" symbols. These are the most frequent symbols, the ones that appear the most on the grid. They are also the lowest-paying symbols. They are: 

• 10

• J (Jack)

• Q (Queen)

• K (King)

  For a concrete example, see Hugo Bets review.

• A (Ace)

Next, we find Premium symbols. These are symbols that appear less often than Card symbols, but are more profitable. They represent the heroes of the Robin Hood universe and there are 5 of them. 

The Wild symbol is, in the base game, represented by the Robin Hood logo. It replaces all other missing logos to create winning combinations. In the "bonus" version, and we will return to this later in this guide to the Robin Hood - Shifting Riches slot machine, you will find other Wild symbols... or even Extra Wilds.

The bonus games on Robin Hood: Shifting Riches

To trigger a free spin round on Robin Hood: Shifting Riches, you do not have to find any scatters. Indeed, you just need to find and collect the money bags. Under each reel, you will find a chest that collects the bags that fall during the spins. Four bags are equivalent to triggering the bonus round.

All the money bags then become Wild symbols. This allows you to create numerous combinations and therefore, potentially win huge payouts! Finally, if special "Free spins" symbols appear during your free spins, you can get between 5 and 10 extra spins.

The Robin Hood: Shifting Riches slot machine is also known for its shifting reels. After every win in the base game, the reels shift to the right and a new reel appears on the left. The grid expands, which means more chances to make combinations. The grid returns to its original level as soon as no win is recorded.

How to play the Robin Hood: Shifting Riches slot machine?

Robin Hood: Shifting Riches is a slot machine that works in a simple, classic way. Indeed, you only have to pay for your spin and activate the reels, so that they start up, spin, and result in a combination. If you win, you are automatically notified. If you unlock the free spins, you also receive a notification.

The game features an Auto-Play function. By activating it, you can play autonomously and automatically. That is to say, the game will restart on its own as soon as a spin is finished. This also allows you to remain consistent with your bets, which will always be of the same value as what you set beforehand. 

Volatility, RTP and potential payout

The RTP (Return to Player) on Robin Hood: Shifting Riches is 96.7%. This is a fairly high return rate, at least higher than average. Indeed, when it comes to slot machines, the return rate generally oscillates between 94% and 96%. It is therefore a game that pays out, especially since the level of volatility is quite low.

The minimum bet is 0.10 euro cents. The maximum bet is 100 euros, for a total possible multiplier of x1,000, which is quite low. This can be explained by the age of the game. Indeed, more modern and recent games are both more complex, but also offer a potential payout that is significantly higher than the first online casino slot machines.
