Hold & Spin Streak
Every Coin symbol that appears during the Free Spins retains its position. Further Coin symbols that appear as the reels spin again then likewise lock in place. This continues until no new Coin symbols spin onto the reels. Then the player’s total bet times their total win multiplier of all Coins on the reels is paid out.
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. Here we have a glossy background which surprisingly enough consists of a forest and jaunty medieval music to play to with all the expected characters on the reels. So will this be a case of Robin our bankroll or robbing the rich?

Free Games
You need the Straw Man scatters on reels 1 and 3 and a coin on reel 5. You get 5 free games which can be one of five types - bronze, silver, gold, platinum or king. You then get free spins with that particular coin added to the reels and respectively they guarantee the minimum coin multiplier will be 1 to 5x. The free games are normal but with more Wilds and high symbols on the reels. If during them the coin lands you then start the Coin Streak on the reels and any coin landing displays a multiplier x stake and awards a respin. The spins stop the moment no further coins are added.

Our View...
Sherwood Showdown slot is good as far as animations, sounds and graphics are concerned. The RTP is normal Novomatic fayre at 95.13% and there is very little potential in the base game and sadly too in the bonus rounds and especially the free spins which cannot really pay over 300x bet. therein lies the problem, you get plenty of entertainment for your money but once you get too far down the low volatility will ensure you'll not get back to par. This is one instance where I wish the Sheriff would actually catch Robin Hood once and for all...
