Sherwood Showdown Slots
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.
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!
Verdict
Greentube has once again managed to create a game that would appeal to all slot players. It offers so many special features, 6 modifiers and 5 types of Free Spins to keep anyone engaged. Plus, it offers huge Multipliers that when applied to your wins could take you to the most incredible payouts. Make sure you try it as soon as you get a chance!
