You can meet up with the hero along with his band of merry men and the great love of his life, Maid Marian, as you search for special symbols and win bonuses for helping the tribe. There are many ways to win such as scattered targets, wild castles, jackpot cards, sticky wilds and a gamble feature.
Foraging for Coins
So let's blow the hunting horn and begin the search for gold in Forest Band, a bright green place perfect for Robin Hood to hide out in. You will find familiar playing-card symbols along with very vivid gold coins, a target with an arrow hitting the bullseye, the beautiful Maid Marian and Robin Hood with his merry men.
Fans of Robin Hood will notice that the backdrop is by the river where the famous fight between the man in green and Little John took place. Robin Hood impressively hit the bullseye more often than not, and you too have the chance to hit big targets as you place your bet - with real money or for free - and spin the reels. Forest Band has a scatter which only appears on the first, third and fifth reels to trigger ten free spins and the wild feature.
The wild card does not appear on the first reel and substitutes for all other symbols except the scatter. This lush forest is heaving with coins, with the lowest-paying symbols of the J, Q and K offering 1,000 coins for all five if you bet the maximum.
Maid Marian is worth 15,000 for all five, while you'll hit the bullseye if you find five of the handsome Robin Hood because he will hand over 20,000 coins at maximum bet. If your win is less than 14,000, you have the chance to double your money on the gamble feature. Simply decide if the card is red or black - if you're right then your wager is doubled.
There is also an intriguing four-level mystery jackpot where you also have to select three matching card suits from 12 cards.
Hitting the Bullseye
Forest Band has hit the bullseye in creating a beautifully designed games for Robin Hood fans. It's a familiar story, and it is great fun to help Robin and his merry men outwit the sheriff and give coins to gamers who join in the fun.
