Robin Nottingham Raiders Slot Information

Design goes full medieval, and wins land by hitting three or more of a kind from the leftmost reel. The lower paying set shows a piece of meat, a sword, a beer jug, a bat, plus a bow and arrows. Five of a kind on any of these pays 3x the bet. The higher band features Brother Tuck, a Knight, Marian, Robin Hood and King Richard. Five of a kind on these premium symbols pays between 5x and 10x the stake.

The Wild is a gold coin that substitutes for all regular symbols apart from the scatter. Five Wilds on a payline pay 25x the bet, which makes it the top payer on the board. The scatter is a war flag showing a lion and the text Bonus. Three or more scatters trigger the Free Spins feature. Paylines are fixed at twenty and are appraised from left to right, which keeps the maths tight and makes counts easy while features carry the heavy lifting.

Wild Symbol in Robin - Nottingham Raiders

I rate the Wild coin in Robin - Nottingham Raiders because it works in both stages. It substitutes for everything except the scatter and it pays 25x for five of a kind. During Free Spins, standard wilds are more likely to turn into Special Wilds, so the base substitution role gains collection value as well. That dual use keeps momentum and links neatly with the roaming behaviour that follows when those special wilds get released.

Special Wild Collection in Robin - Nottingham Raiders

At random, a landed Wild may upgrade to a Special Wild and move into a collection meter. In the base game, once I’ve banked nine Special Wilds, a single re-spin fires. All collected wilds are then released onto random panel positions in one hit. If two or more drop on the same spot, they still count as one symbol, so you avoid any double count. This is a straight, punchy shot at a line-up with wild coverage across several reels.

In Free Spins that same collection loop runs hotter. Standard Wilds convert to Special Wilds more often, and every set of three collected special wilds adds three extra spins. It also drops those three wilds straight onto the panel to start roaming for the rest of the bonus. You can amass up to nine Special Wilds across the feature. The flow pays off once the meter tips and the grid floods with coins on the release.

Free Spins in Robin - Nottingham Raiders

Three or more scatters trigger 15 Free Spins in Robin - Nottingham Raiders. This is the phase where the raid really takes shape, as the conversion rate from regular Wild to Special Wild rises. The base rules apply for paylines and symbol values, but the engine is geared toward building the meter and dropping roaming wilds. I like seeing the scatters early, because longer windows let the collection loop mature and raise the ceiling on what the panel can do.

Every trio of collected special wilds awards three extra spins. Those wilds are then placed on the grid at random and turn roaming, shifting to new positions on each spin. It is possible to have up to nine roamers moving at once, which creates lines you would not otherwise get with static placement. The panel can look busy in the late game, and that is exactly when the maths starts to click with the multiplier model from the reels.

I have seen sessions where a slow opening still led to a big swing after the second or third set of three. The feature’s tempo pairs well with high volatility, so dead spins are part of the ride, yet the upside is obvious when coins stack on key reels. With RTP at 96.1 percent and a stated top potential above 121,000x, Free Spins carry the weight. The panel multipliers can spike totals fast once wild traffic builds on the same reels.

Roaming Wilds in Robin - Nottingham Raiders

Roaming wilds in Robin - Nottingham Raiders are the stars of the bonus. Once placed, they move to a new position for every remaining spin, and they stay active until the round ends. I have had sets of five to nine roaming at once, and that is where the grid starts to churn lines across the twenty paylines. They also help stack reels for the panel multiplier, since multiple wilds can land on the same reel while they wander about.

Panel Multiplier in Robin - Nottingham Raiders

The panel multiplier works on a reel-by-reel basis. If a reel shows three wilds, an x2 reel multiplier is added. If it shows four wilds, it becomes x3 on that reel. You can trigger these across several reels in the same spin, and the game multiplies the reel multipliers together to form the total panel multiplier. That number then applies to the win from the lines, and it can be the difference between a tidy hit and a proper raid haul.

Roaming wilds feed this mechanic because their movement helps stack reels over time. A release of nine collected wilds can also spike the same effect in the base game re-spin. From my play, the best sequences are where a couple of reels build to three or four wilds while the others still hold lines. It is simple to read and carries high ceiling value without any clutter, which suits the sharp, left to right maths on the twenty-line panel.
