Golden Shot

The story of Robin Hood has been handled in a lot of different ways over the centuries. In just the past few decades, we've seen movies, plays, books, comic books, video games, television shows and more. Fugaso has brought this story to players in yet another way with their Golden Shot online slot.

Visually speaking, this game's aesthetic is tremendous with a shooting gallery concept that plays heavily with the elements of archery that are so important in the story. Combined with that is an action-packed style of gameplay that stays true to the ton of what happens in the story and the nature of the characters in it.

Game Layout

A pretty standard layout can be found for this title. There are five vertical reels with three rows that stretch out horizontally across the grid, and players get 20 paylines that pay from left to right only. This is a popular format, and players have a number of betting options to help them really get down to the bet size that they want.

The number of activated lines cannot be changed, but you can change the number of coins bet on each of those paylines with an available range of one to ten per line. A number of different coin sizes, starting at $0.01 and ending at $1, can be used as well. When combined, these options give a total overall betting range that goes from $0.01 at the minimum to $100 at the maximum in terms of price per spin.

Wild Robin Hood Symbol and Feature Bags

There are two concepts that you are introduced to as soon as you first start playing this game. The first is the Robin Hood wild symbol, and it appears on all reels. In spite of that, there are no special winning prizes for lining up sets of wilds. Instead, they will substitute for the symbol that will give you the best winning combination on each individual payline, and that does mean that they can substitute for several symbols all on the same spin if needed.

The second concept to be introduced to is that of the feature bags. You'll see bags powered up the right-hand side of the reels with levers, and they are then pushed across the reels to some degree. You'll activate these bags by lining up a Robin Hood wild symbol on the same reel as where they lay on the top of the game.

Four Feature Bags

Four different feature bags can be had. The first is the spreading bag, and when you get the spreading bag, the wild symbol that activated the feature spreads one square in all directions, including diagonally, giving you up to eight additional wild symbols on that spin.

The second bag is for a set of free spins. You can win between seven and 50 free spins at once, and they can be re-triggered.

A third bag players can win simply gives you a coin win. These wins range from 50x to 2,500x with four other amounts in between.

Finally, the fourth bag actually just gives you a random choice between the three listed above, so for all intents and purposes, there are three features that they can give you.

Character Symbol Wins

The man in blue with a red scarf gets players 1,000x for five of a kind and is the best-paying symbol in this game as a whole. The man in gray with a red top is worth 700x for five on a payline. Friar Tuck comes in holding a big chest of gold for 500x with five of a kind combinations, and you can make it 400x for five of the soldier in armor. A beggar holding a single coin of gold gets you 300x when you line up five of him on a payline as well.

The bottom five symbols are all different types of target symbols with rings and bulls eyes on them, which we think looks great and fits in with the theme extremely well. These payouts range from 75x to 50x.

Overview

Like many online slots produced by Fugaso, the Golden Shot game has a great look with solid gameplay. That's the combination that they tend to work with that they've become known for, and it's easy to see why it's the kind of thing that gets a lot of attention from players. In this title in particular, they've combined fun visual motifs with feature-based gameplay and a balanced pay table, and that almost always gives players a good experience.
