As soon as this game loads, players may be taken back by the impressive array of visuals that are displayed within Sheriff of Nottingham 2. This slot is set in the heart of the Middle Ages, with a ruler trying to stop the activity of Robin Hood and his gang. In the background, the quaint village of Nottingham itself can be seen, with almost everything in this slot following the theme seamlessly. In addition to this, golden accents have been applied to various elements on and around the board itself, perhaps to make this title even easier on the eye!
Sheriff of Nottingham 2 was produced by iSoftBet, a company that is no stranger to releasing titles that are visually appealing. ISoftBet is known for creating games such as Queen of Wonderland Megaways, Wishing Wheel, and of course, the original Sheriff of Nottingham slot, which launched in 2021.
As previously mentioned, most symbols within Sheriff of Nottingham 2 have golden aspects to them. This includes the standard 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols, which also contain different gemstones. Next is a scroll, a set of armour, two swords, and a golden coat of arms. These can award 7.5x, 10x, 12.5x, and 25x the stake size for matching 5.
The scatter symbol in this game is represented by a bag of coins, with wilds being the sheriff himself. There is also a variety of Merry Men that can appear alongside Maid Marian, which are covered in detail below!
There are two bonuses within Sheriff of Nottingham 2, with the first being known as ‘Pick A Scroll’, a feature that can trigger randomly at the start of any spin. As the name of this bonus suggests, players will have the option to select 1 of 3 scrolls, with a different modifier for the upcoming spin behind each.
Players can be awarded the main bonus, a guaranteed matching combination, mystery symbols added to the reels, stacked wilds that will nudge to fill the reel if in view, all money symbols being awarded, or between 4 to 10 wilds being added to the reels.
Now to cover the second bonus, which is based on the popular respin mechanic. This can be triggered when three scatter symbols appear across any of the reels, which will award players with the same number of lives, which will reset back to 3 if any symbols land.
The icons to look out for during this round are Merry Men symbols. These can transform into either Friar Tuck, Little John, Will Scarlet, Maid Marian, or Robin Hood. In order, each icon can award 1x and an additional slot to the left, 1x the bet size and doubles all other symbols in play, 1x and an additional slot on the right, 1x and an additional life when all others run out. Finally, 1x or 2x, which is then added to each symbol after every respin.
Also within this bonus mode is a Sheriff icon, which will collect all other symbols. These will be removed from the board, which can create more space for fresh symbols. If all five different variations are caught during the bonus, any potential winnings will be multiplied by 5x. This bonus can also be bought for 75x, with a super version being available for 150x the base bet.
To summarise, Sheriff of Nottingham 2 is a game that is packed with immersive visuals and sounds. In addition to this, the main bonus mode within this slot has a unique approach while also featuring a mechanic that has stood the test of time!
