Robinson - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Join Robinson on his deserted island in this slot machine from the developers at Evoplay. Players need to match symbols, including the volcano, starfish, barrels and Robinson himself, to win. Robinson has five reels, three rows, and nine fixed paylines.

When games have multiple bonus features, it can be difficult to know how to play. This Robinson slot review will lead you through all the elements of the gameplay so that you can work out whether you want to be cast away.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

The Robinson online slot has gorgeous 3D graphics, with a well-designed background that includes the wrecked ship. To the right of the reels is Robinson himself, joined occasionally by an animated crab or monkey. In the foreground, we have a fire lit amongst some rocks.

Everything is incredibly well-rendered, which looks great but poses a few problems. Firstly, slower machines or people with slower internet connections may find this game very frustrating to play. Secondly, all this window dressing makes the reels a very small part of the screen when they could stand to be between 25 and 30 per cent bigger. 

The music consists of a rather lovely marimba-based piece that fades in and out throughout the gameplay.

Robinson RTP and variance

The RTP of Robinson is 92.4 per cent, which puts it well below the average rate of around 96 per cent for online slots of this type.

The high volatility of Robinson means that each spin comes with high risk but there are big rewards available. Remember that these high-level wins do not come around very often.

Robinson review: our verdict

This title looks great and has multiple bonus features available for players. On the other hand, the lack of paylines and the infrequency of the bonus features being triggered will make some players think twice before spinning the reels.
