Robotnik Pokies
Bright blue planets and colourful asteroids give the Robotnik pokie a futuristic look, and the features are right up to date as well, with high paying Wild symbols, free games and Robotnik himself, who is a cute robot that bring extra Wilds to the party.
Developed by Yggdrasil Gaming, Robotnik has all the high quality graphics, smooth action to the reels, and classy design that's become something of a trademark for the company.
A Stellar Design With A Galaxy Of Extras
From the mysterious planets in the background to the symbols that appear to float in space, Robotnik looks impressive. Sharply drawn symbols fly past 40 paylines, and like many of the pokies from Yggdrasil all lines are active all the time, so players just need to select a bet per line and get spinning.
Those on limited budgets can spend just 0,40 per spin, while high rollers can wager up to 20.00 a go. There are a total of 10 base symbols, with 5 of them being asteroids that have red, blue, yellow, purple and green coloured crystals poking out of them, and the 5 higher paying ones being all crystal, in the same vivid colours.

Wild symbols are the triggers for the main extra features of Robotnik, and they come in 2 flavours. The standard Wild symbol substitutes for all others if it helps to create winning combinations, but as an additional treat, any that appear will lock in place while all other spots on the reels spin again. If another Wild lands, then that one will also stick around as the remaining positions spin, and so on until no more Wilds appear. Win after win can be had this way, as the reels can quickly fill up with lots of Wilds, making this symbol the key to a richly rewarding feature.
There's also a '3x' Wild that does just what you would expect, by multiplying the value of any combination it complete by 3 times, while also triggering the re-spins in the same way as the regular one. The highest payout can be as much as 60,000 coins if enough Wilds land in the ideal places.
Robotnik is the players' friend in this pokie, as he can fly onto the reels at any time, turning random symbols into either sort of Wild, which naturally starts the whole free spins feature again. The little robot turns up in a nicely animated sequence and players can rely on him to bring them a prize when he does so.
Will Robotnik Bring Sunshine, Or Should It Disappear To Uranus?
Like most Poker machines from Yggdrasil Gaming, Robotnik doesn’t follow a conventional pattern, and that’s one of the main appeals of the game. Naturally, the design is pretty striking, and the colours of the main symbols really stand out against the atmospheric background design.
A slight downside is that Robotnik himself can sometimes wait a while before making an appearance, which is a shame, but I suppose that makes it even better when he flies across the screen and treats players to more Wilds.
While the bonus round is unusual, it’s certainly entertaining, and with only a single Wild or 3x Wild symbol needed to trigger the re-spins, they can turn up very frequently. As Wilds can appear stacked, it’s also quite easy to fill a whole reel with them, which makes scoring a multiplier win that much easier.
A Return To Player of 96.7% is generous, so playing Robotnik won’t cost too much, and with lots of opportunities to score some big wins, players could be banking a nice profit when they spin the reels of this game.
