Half based on history and half based on legend, the adventures of Robin Hood have entertained generations. The underprivileged taking on the establishment is a theme that cannot fail. It was inevitable that Robin Hood finds his way to the slots machines. Every leading software provider has a Robin Hood themed slot game.

The software provider Realtime Gaming offers Prince of Sherwood. Sherwood Forest was the hideout of Robin Hood and his Merry Men. The thematic symbols are comically crafted and the high value card symbols are crafted in a classical font. Robin Hood is the wild symbol. It appears only on reels 1 and 5 and doubles payouts when in winning combinations. The other symbols are the Sheriff of Nottingham, his castle, Maid Miriam, bag of gold and the long bow. The archery board triggers the bonus feature. In the first round two archers shoot arrows at the board scoring bonus points. If the selected archer has the higher score then the second round is triggered. The player can win up to 25 free spins with a multiplier up to 6 times.

The Playtech Robin Hood themed slot game is titled Archer. It is an All Ways slot game that does away with defined paylines. The symbols include Robin Hood, Maid Miriam, the Sheriff of Nottingham and Friar Tuck. The symbol gets animated during winning combinations. Friar Tuck takes a swig from a tankard of ale and the Sheriff throws some gold coins. The defining feature of Playtech Archer is the Expand & Split feature. Any symbol with an arrow border in a winning combination will expand in the presence of the scatter symbol. When the symbol expands it does not replace the existing symbols. But the existing symbols split to accommodate both symbols. Then either or both the symbols can participate in winning combinations.

Rival Gaming is known for its i-slots that have bonus games in sequence following the narration of a story. It was natural for Rival Gaming to release its Robin Hood themed slot in the i-slot format. The slot game is titled Sherwood Forest Fortunes. As usual, the characters from the Robin Hood saga appear as symbols on the reels. The quiver symbol triggers the bonus games, which feature a series of stand offs with the Sheriff of Nottingham. The progress of the game is tracked on the map, which shows the area around the Sheriff's castle. As the bonus rounds are triggered, players advance to the final duel with the Sheriff. The first bonus game is the Target Practice Bonus Round. The second bonus game is the Steal from the Rich Bonus Round. The final bonus game in the Sherwood Forest Fortunes i-slot is the Sheriff's Duel Bonus Round.

Microgaming has to do things differently. The title Robin Hood bears the sub text Feathers of Fortune. This is because Robin Hood and his Merry Men appear as birds in the symbols. Robin Hood is a robin, Maid Miriam is a white dove, Little John is a pigeon, Friar Tuck is an owl and the Sheriff of Nottingham is a crow. Microgaming Robin Hood is a 243 ways to win slot game. The Robin Hood logo is the wild symbol and it appears stacked on the reels. The slot game also offers a free spins round and a bonus game on the second screen.
