Robby the Illusionist - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

We’ve got hundreds of magic themed slots on our site, but we personally favour the ones that bring a magic show directly to our screens. We’re thinking of games such as Vegas Magic or the fun cartoon-style Magicious slot. So we couldn’t wait to see what Robby the Illusionist might have in store!

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Robby is a wand-waving shark putting on a magic show for an audience of sea creatures. There are glitter balls and bright lights as Robby shows the crowd what he can do, turning origami birds into real doves, and turning single banknotes into wads of money. The graphics and illustrations are beautifully done and there are some lovely animations that help to bring the magic show theme to life. A speakeasy-style jazz track plays out, which adds to the fun, but it can get a bit much after a while.

Robby the Illusionist RTP & Volatility

The game offers an RTP of 96.54%, which is about average for an online slot. It’s a medium-volatility game, so you’ll need to set aside time and funds to get the most from it. Better yet, play it here for free and find out how it plays out over time, with no financial risk!

How to Play Robby the Illusionist

Robby the Illusionist isn’t a particularly complicated slot, but it can take a few spins to understand how it plays out over time. We’ve got step by step guides to playing this, and other TrueLabs free slots, so you don’t have to spend your own cash finding out how they work.

1 All 27 paylines are fixed in place, so you just need to decide on your coin value per payline. This is multiplied 25x, rather than the expected 27x, to arrive at your total cost per spin.

2 Press the big blue Spin button to start the game. For multiple spins at the same stake, press Autoplay, just to the right of Spin.

3 Check the game’s paytable, paylines and rules by tapping on the ‘?’ icon.

4 Game sounds can be muted by tapping the speaker icon underneath the game.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

You can play Robby the Illusionist with a coin value starting from just 0.01 per payline. And although there are 27 fixed paylines in the game, you only have to pay for 25 of them, so you have a betting range from 0.25 to 275.00 per spin. That’s broad enough to attract the attention of most types of slots fans.

Your objective is to line up matching symbols across one of the paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. Cash awards are paid for matching three, four or five, with prizes paid as multiples of your payline bet.

Robby the Illusionist Bonus Features & Free Spins

The Shark Joker is the game’s wild symbol. Along with the banknote, it’s one of the top paying symbols in the game, so it’s always a welcome sight. But just like Robby the Illusionist himself, this wild has more than a couple of tricks up its sleeve.

As a substitution symbol, the wild can stand in for any of the other symbols in the game, apart from the Top Hat scatter. So every appearance means it might be helping to generate one or more winning combinations. But when it lands on reels 4 and / or 5, in conjunction with three or more high-paying symbols in a winning payline, it activates the Bonus game, as follows:

Three high-paying symbols plus a Joker wild on reel 4 = 7 bonus spins
Four high-paying symbols plus a Joker wild on reel 5 = 8 bonus spins
Three high-paying symbols plus Joker wilds on reels 4 and 5 = 10 bonus spins.

Throughout the bonus spins, the wild or wilds that activated the feature ‘float’ around the grid. With each spin, they settle on a place to land, which hopefully creates at least one winning combination, and hopefully multiple wins.

Although the bonus game offers free spins, there’s also a free spins bonus round in Robby the Illusionist. To activate the feature, you’ll need to spin up three or more Top Hat scatters. Just three of them will earn you the feature round, but if you manage to spin up four or five scatters, you’ll also win a generous cash prize,worth up to 3,000x your line bet, in addition to 8 free spins.
