Microgaming has just released an online slot game titled Hot as Hades, which is a spoof on Greek mythology. The software provider has a number of spoofs in its portfolio, in some of which animals play the role of humans. This article reviews two of them.

Robin Hood is a popular legend about the outlaw who stole from the rich to give to the poor. The Microgaming Robin Hood slot game is sub titled Feathers of Fortune because the characters from the legend are portrayed as appropriate birds. Robin Hood is represented by his namesake the robin. His love interest Maid Miriam is the dove. The dastardly Sheriff of Nottingham is the crow and the wise Friar Tuck is the owl. Little John as the pigeon is somewhat of a question mark. Robin Hood: Feathers of Fortune is a 243 ways to win slot game. The Robin Hood Wanted Poster awards 15 free spins with doubled payouts. The Robin Hood logo is the wild symbol and it appears stacked on the reels in both the base game and the free spins round. When Robin Hood appears on reels 1 and 5 at the same time the Archery Bonus game on the second screen is triggered. In this game you shoot five arrows at targets and win multipliers between 2x and 15x.

Soccer is easily the most popular sport in the world and there are a large number of soccer themed slots. Soccer Safari was released during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa and has animals in key roles. The lion is the striker and the leopard is the goalie. Other players are the rhino, the hog, the buffalo and the jackal. The cheerleaders are deer and the crazy fans are hyenas. The elephant and the giraffe give the commentary and the zebra is the referee. The win animations are all related to football and are simply awesome. Watch the buffalo get a red card and the leopard make a spectacular save. The trophy symbol triggers the Go For Goal bonus game on the second screen. You have to select an animal player to take a free kick. If he scores then the total bet is multiplied handsomely. If the leopard makes the save you win a consolation prize. The zebra symbol triggers 5 free spins. The zebra symbols on the reels not only expand across all rows but also become wild symbols. The free spins can be retriggered through a unique mechanism.

Both Robin Hood and Soccer Safari are live at all Microgaming online casinos such as All Slots, 7 Sultans and 32Red.
