Roboland

Spinmatic’s Roboland transports players to a steampunk laboratory, where all kinds of robots come to life. This slot takes a fresh approach to free spins found only in Spinmatic titles, where every winning spin of higher-value symbols triggers as many as five free spins, a total that can grow from that point on.

Theme

The laboratory in which this slot is set looks like it could use a good cleaning, but judging from the low-tech tools on the walls, whatever scientist is at work here Gaming symbols include an adorable array of anthropomorphic robots. These include a walking siren, a flying camera, a walking computer, a rolling orange hatbox, and a miniature Mars Rover. The playing card values ace through ten act as lower-value symbols, while a seated robot resembling a very early version of R2D2 (but with legs) acts as wild, adding a double win multiplier when substituting for other symbols to form winning combinations. A heavily synthesized, techno-futuristic soundtrack makes this digital world all the more immersive.

Betting Options and Functions

Building robots from scratch might take technical genius, but some serious engineering skill went into design this slot as well. There are 15 paylines, each paying from left to right. Bet level is set simply from 0.15–60.00 times the betting currency per spin. Autoplay is available for up to 100 spins, or without limit, with optional loss limits available on a separate screen. Player options, payline information, game rules, quick spin, and more are available via an expanding menu at the upper right corner of the game screen. The overall theoretical return to player ratio sits at about the industry average at 95.05%.

Features

Spinmatic’s innovative and refreshing approach to free spins is on full display in Roboland. Instead of relying on a scatter symbol to begin bonus play, players may trigger free spins after any win involving the five higher-value symbols named above: one, two, or five freebies will be be awarded, during which all wins will be doubled. What’s more, once in free spins, any and all wins extend the feature, even when the wins belong to lower-value symbols. Since more than one payline can contain winning combinations on each spin, it’s possible to add many free spins to the total on a single free spin. If that wasn’t enough, wild symbols continue to add double win multipliers during the feature, which means players can see 2x, 4x, 8x, and 16x multipliers during bonus play.

There is also a gamble feature, based on a the drawing of playing cards. Players can try to predict the color of the next card to be overturned for a chance to double their win, or to predict the suit of the next card for the chance to quadruple it. Any incorrect guess drops the win total down to zero. The feature can be played as many as five times in a row.

Our Take

Thanks to its many-splendored bonuses, Roboland is one of Spinmatic’s stronger offerings. Whatever lab this title came from is well worthy scientific awards: in all respect but RTP, this slot is a cut above the rest.
