Sherwood Showdown slot by Novomatic takes us back to the theme of the mythical medieval and benevolent bandit, Robin Hood. Previously this has been covered by many a developer, with Netent's Robin Hood - Shifting Riches and the old classic from Incredible Technologies Robin Hood - Riches of Sherwood Forest. Sherwood Showdown by Greentube released on is a 5-reel & 3-row online slot with 20 paylines and a 95.13% RTP. This is a fairytale-themed game offering players a max win of up to 1500x their stake. Sherwood Showdown can be played on all devices from €0.2 to €100 per spin and is considered a medium volatility game.

Major slots developers release new slots every month, if not every week. However, some innovators take their time to create the most appealing games before they release them. Greentube belongs in the second category of developers, as it does not release slots that often, but when it does, you are mind-blown by the result. Sherwood Showdown is the developer’s newest fairytale-themed slot that will bring you some magical payouts.

Features

The slot offers the standard special symbols, the Wild and the Free Spins Scatter, in addition to 6 different reel modifiers that could help you out get to the greatest wins. The Wild and the Free Spins Scatter will perform their usual roles, one replacing for symbols in the formation of winning combos, the other triggering the bonus game.

The six modifiers you will find are: Horn Blower, Reel Rise, Fox Runner, Winning Shot, Fill the Nest and Stepping Streak. The first one rotates the reels after a non-winning spin to get you a winning combo. The second one has the ability to extend the reels to four or five symbols whenever the Scatter lands on the first and third reel, giving you an opportunity to collect more Free Spins in the bonus. The Fox Runner can automatically spin the reels after a non-winning spin to make a winning combo.

The fourth one is quite fun, because while a spin is in progress, one symbol may get hit by an arrow, adding multiple symbols of the same kind on the reels. While any spin is in progress, with the Fill the Nest modifier, a bird’s nest may fall from a tree and give you a Multiplier of up to 20x. And finally, with the last modifier, while any spin is in progress, a compass can make reels spin towards the direction it is pointing towards, revealing winning combos until no further new wins are available. The first, third and last modifiers can retrigger.

But that’s not all. When you land 3 Scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5, you get one of the 5 types of Free Spins. If you get the Bronze Spins, you will get Coin symbols on all reels with a minimum Multiplier of 1x, while the Silver Spins come with a minimum Multiplier of 2x. With the Gold Spins, the Coin’s Multiplier will be 3x, and with the Platinum Spins, you’ll get a minimum Multiplier of 4x added to the Coins on all reels. The King Spins come with Coins on all reels with a 5x Multiplier added to them.

And finally, you get the Hold & Spin Streak feature. Every Coin during the Free Spins stays on its position, as do further Coins that appear. This can continue until no more Coins get on the reels. This is when you get paid your total bet x your total Win Multiplier collected from all the Coins on the reels.

Theme & Design

As you may have assumed, Sherwood Showdown is inspired by the fairytale about Robin Hood, the legendary bowman together with his outlaw gang, who will in the slot be facing their arch enemy, the wolf. Therefore, in the background, you will see the woods, presented with wonderful autumn colours.

On the reels, you will see the playing card Royals from 10 through A as the lowest-paying symbols, along with shields, Robin and his friends.

Wagering & Paylines

There are 20 paylines across the 5 reels in Sherwood Showdown, therefore, the betting range is the standard one, from $0.20 to $100.00. The RTP is 95.13%, which means a little below the average one.

Sherwood Showdown Slots

Considering you can get Multipliers up to 20x during the Fill the Nest modifier, and up to 5x during the King Spins, and thanks to the Hold & Spin Streak feature, you can rest assured that Sherwood Showdown will be as rewarding as Robing was to the poor in the original fairytale!
