Slot Review: Prince of Sherwood

The legend of Robin Hood and his merry men is one of the most beloved in the English language. Robin Hood, of course, is the famed brigand who robbed from the rich to give to the poor during the reign of Richard II, the “phony king of England.” Robin Hood was a crack-shot archer who cavorted in Sherwood Forest with his cohorts and wooed the fair and gentle Maid Marian. His story has been told in countless children’s books and movie adaptations, most famously Prince of Thieves and the Disney animated classic that depicted this knight errant as a fox. Prince of Sherwood is a slot game that lacks the intrigue and excitement of these versions, but has some merits of its own.

Prince of Sherwood is a five-reel, twenty-payline online slot machine game from Real Time Gaming. Coin values start at one cent and go up to five dollars, with the max coins set at twenty – one coin per payline allowed, for a max bet of one hundred dollars per spin. Big spenders can make that wager for a shot at a twenty-five thousand dollar jackpot – five thousand coins. There is a random, progressive jackpot that can be won on any spin, regardless of the outcome. The best part about this fortune is that you don’t have to steal from anyone to get it!

Letters and numbers marked by arrows are the primary symbols on the reels, along with a sack of gold, a bow and arrow, and an evil soldier wearing a full suit of armor. The graphics were pretty amateurish, and we would have linked to see some of the other characters from Robin Hood’s story make it to the reels – folks like Will Scarlett, Little John, and Friar Tuck.
