Sherwood Forest Fortunes Slot Review

Sherwood Forest Fortunes is a 20-line, 5 reel slot. Draw your bow and aim for the bull's-eye with Sherwood Forest Fortunes, Rival's 5 reel I-slot. The Sheriff has been terrorizing the local villagers and it's up to you and your Merry Men to stop him. Track your progress on the Game Map as you search for the Sheriff throughout Sherwood Forest. The main symbols are largely as you would expect for this theme and include a lute, a sword, a bag of gold coins, a jewelled mace, Little John, Friar Tuck, a crown and King Richard. The Sheriff of Nottingham is the most valuable;e base game symbol.

Special symbols include the Robin Hood wild and the Maid Marion bonus; a second bonus symbol is arrows in a quiver. The wild, which only appears on reels one, three and five, can appear stacked which means they can appear on top of each other. For a theme this game has a romantic story about the bandit Robin Hood who stole from the rich and gave to the poor and he hid in Sherwood Forest. The graphic sound and the animations with this game are a bit better that the rest of the games coming from Rival.

Free Spins - You will need to land three or more of the Maid Marion scatter symbols anywhere on the reels to trigger this feature for which you will receive the following:

3 Marion symbols – 5 free spins

4 Marion symbols – 10 free spins

5 Marion symbols – 25 free spins

Any wins you land during this feature will be subject to a 3x multiplier.

Bonus Round -The bonus feature is activated when you receive 3 or more of the ‘Quiver’ scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels.Certain scenes will trigger various bonus features with a narrative which means that each time you trigger the bonus game by landing three or more of the quiver scatter symbols you will play a short game, hopefully winning big in the process, after which the story will move on to the next scene. The first bonus game is a simple affair in which you, as Robin, must guide the arrow into the scarecrow for a coin win. The second part of the story involves the tax collector and from there the narrative continues further.

Summary - Sherwood Forest Fortune would be a perfectly likeable game excepting the outrageously high house edge. So high in fact that it’s quite out of sync with the legend on which it’s based.
