Archer Slot Review

Gameplay and Prizes in Archer

When I first loaded Archer from Playtech, the picture of dark forest, sunset and blue lake straight away set the Robin Hood mood. The slot runs on 5 reels with 243 pay lines, so wins often land in streaks. Bets start from small coins and go up to very serious stakes, with total bet per spin going from about 0.25 up to 62.50 or even higher on some setups.

The math profile in Archer is high volatility, so the slot can sit quiet and then throw out big chains of wins. Official RTP sits around 96.78%, which for a video slot is very fair. Those 243 ways mean symbols pay for any left‑to‑right combination, not fixed lines. With the right setup in bonus, max win goes up to around x56000, which is why I keep coming back to this game.

Archer Symbols and Paytable

The paytable in Archer is all about Robin Hood and his friends. Robin Hood symbol is the main hero and brings the best prize, going up to 1,500x if you land five of him across the screen on a proper stake. Next comes Maid Marian, then Friar Tuck and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Lower paying icons are card symbols, but even they can reach around 100x on a good five of a kind.

Crossed arrows act as the scatter symbol. Three, four or five of them on the reels award scatter pays of around 0.08x, 0.4x and 2x the total bet, on top of triggering the main feature. Gold Coins symbol is wild and replaces regular icons, so lining up Robin Hood with a few coins can throw out very strong combinations. I always check the paytable before spinning, just to refresh the exact prize steps.

Features and Bonuses in Archer

Main feature in Archer comes from the crossed arrows scatter. When three signs of crossed arrows land on the reels, seven free games start at once. I like how this round feels, because you can retrigger it by catching more scatters, and sometimes free spins go on much longer than expected. During these free games, the same 243 ways and character symbols apply, so full screens of heroes become much more realistic.

Gold Coins wild symbol plays a big part during the Archer bonus. It appears on reels two, three and four and helps to create winning and interesting combinations with Robin Hood and the rest of the cast. In my sessions, the best hits came when several coins dropped together with high paying symbols on the first reel. One good spin in free games can pay more than a long base game run of small wins.

There is also a gamble feature attached to Archer wins. After any successful spin you can press the Game button and move to a new screen with face‑down cards. Guess the correct colour and your payout doubles on a 50 to 50 chance. Miss the choice and you lose the amount you tried to gamble. I usually risk only small or medium wins here, because the feature can climb up to a thousand pounds but is still pure luck.

More Features and Bonuses in Archer

For comfortable play, Archer includes auto run and a handy Bet Max button. Auto run lets the drums rotate without constant clicks until I press stop, which helps during longer hunts for the free games. Bet Max is useful when I feel confident and want the slot to place the highest stake at once. Together with flexible coin sizes and number of bets, it makes bankroll control and pacing very easy for regular gambling sessions.

Archer Verdict

Archer slot game mixes a strong Robin Hood atmosphere with serious winning potential. High volatility, 243 ways to win, solid 96.78% RTP and a top payout around x56000 make it more suited to players who enjoy swings and big hits than to fans of flat, steady play. For me, the combination of free games, wild coins and that classic gamble option keeps the slot game very enjoyable, and I often finish sessions here happy.
