Maid Marian
Ever fancied taking your place in a legend? Well, the Maid Marian slot from Inspired Gaming sets you amongst the calm and leafy Sherwood Forest.
No, this isn’t a gamewhere you´ll meet Robin Hood (you can always spin the man in green tights around on the Robin Hood Shifting Riches slot), this where you meet the brains behind the brawn, the Shelia with the real power, Marian.
When you fire up a game that holds a shining great 250,000 coins win as its trump card it’s hard not to get distracted! But, big bucks aside, this game offers free spins, stacked symbols, locked spins and sticky Wilds.
Look and Feel
Behind the reels is a deserted clearing in the woods, a fine spot for some archery practice, or just a quick snooze if you’ve had a big night out like this wombat. The reels are set in a red banner and show a host of weapons, treasure and characters to fit the classic tale, but with a feminine twist. Is it just me, or does Marian look like the lass in Druid´s Dream from NetEnt? Well, they both seem to lie the forest I suppose.
While Inspired Gaming is a quality game maker the look and feel of this slot is distinctly retro. Just don’t expect to have your socks knocked off by the graphics, that´s all we are saying.
Game Play
Try and get the wins rolling in over 4 rows, 5 reels and 20 pay-lines. That´s the same number of lines as Riches of Robin from Play ´n Go but you´ve got that extra row in there on this game.
The Maid Marian logo is the top-scoring icon on the reels. Lure 5 of these beauties onto a pay-line an you will hit a 20 x your wager win.
There’s also a trunk stuffed with coins followed by a gemstone ring. The other icons include a bow and arrow and a Sheriff’s wanted poster for fair Marian’s head!
The royals of the card deck provide the slot’s lower value icons.
The Wild is a wood and gold affair and subs for all icons, except the Bonus icon. The Sheila at the centre of this drama makes this game’s Bonus. So, look out for Maid Marian toting a bow and arrow!
The Bonuses
If you can get the arrow-loving Marian Bonus symbol onto reels 1, 3 and 5, you will launch the free spins game. You will get your paws on 8 free games but be warned – you can’t re-trigger this feature while in the bonus game. So make them count!
And if you’re not satisfied with 8 free games don’t worry. Just land the special bullseye icon on the middle reel and freeze it in place for 5 spins to help you make a whacking big win.
Fortune Bet
Inspired Gaming love to give you an option to push in the right direction, so they’ve created a nifty Fortune Bet feature. If you’re willing to boost your bet by 50% you can give your gaming a shot in the arm. By switching into Fortune Bet mode, you bulk up the Bonus icons to twice their usual height to hopefully make more wins.
Wombat Summary
Grab a spot in the history books by taking a twirl on the Maid Marian slot. Make the most of the frozen reel, Fortune Bet and free spins game – these are the nuggets to the game. Just make sure you don’t miss the chance for a big night out with Marian and her merry men!
Wombat Score: 4 out of 5
A bonus-crammed slot with a touch of retro styling.
