Archer is one of the newest Playtech releases and is modeled after the fictional world of Robin Hood. The graphics are great and the archery sound effects are certainly unique. There’s also a backing track that makes you feel like you’re riding along with Robin in the forest while you’re playing.

There are plenty of memorable characters for the Robin Hood lovers out there. Archer features Robin, Maid Marian, Friar Tuck, and plenty of Arrow and Archer symbols, as well as the 9 to Ace playing cards popular on so many slot machines.

Archer doesn’t have a legitimate bonus game, per se, but they make up with that in spades by offering a whopping 243 pay lines on this 5-reel slot machine. That means you can bet every single line in the game, and your limits start out at a penny and go up to $5.

The Wild symbol in Archer is he GOLD ARCHER. This substitutes everything but the Arrow scatter symbol. Three or more bonus Arrows trigger a game for up to seven free spins. You can call it a bonus round if you want, but it’s really just the spins and not a standalone bonus game.

This game has an extra special feature which is triggered when you hit a symbol with an ARROW BORDER in a wining combo AND a scatter is on the screen. That symbol will expand vertically and split the other symbols into 2, thereby creating more possible wins.

For every spin you win, you can take your chances at doubling your earnings by using Archer’s Gambling feature. You’ll be taken to a separate screen and shown a dealer’s card. If you can guess the color of the next card, you can double your winnings or more.
