Robin Hood was basically history’s first tax evader influencer. The guy lived in a forest, robbed the rich, and somehow spun it all as charity while wearing tights and hanging out with guys he called his “Merrie Men.” We can only hope that if he showed up today, he’d be less Logan Paul and more Edward Snowden with a longbow.

While Edward Snowden with a longbow is some great imagery, AvatarUX went a slightly different direction with its interpretation in the new Prince of Purrwood slot.

Welcome to alternate Earth’s Sherwood Forest

The Prince of Purrwood slot features up to 46,656 ways to win on a reel grid that can expand to as large as 6×6. Betting starts from $0.10 and tops out at $30 a spin. If you’re betting at that top end, you’ll have a shot at up to $300,000 thanks to the 10,000x max multiplier.

With high volatility, the slot’s gameplay will lean away from offering small, consistent wins. As a result, you’ll be chasing those big wins with little to no safety net. The slot’s expected RTP is 96.13%.

In its simplest base game form, the slot features six reels that are three rows high. There are an additional two rows of blocked reels in the base game and three rows of blocked reels during a round of free spins.

The slot features cascading reels, which will remove symbols involved in winning combinations, allowing new symbols to fall into the empty spots, giving you another chance to win. This process will continue to occur until no new winning combinations are formed.

In the Prince of Purrwood slot, each cascade will unlock one of the blocked positions from left to right and from top to bottom. As each position is unlocked, the number of ways to win will increase.

Each blocked position will feature a multiplier value that is added to a global multiplier when the position is unlocked. The new global multiplier will be applied to the next winning combination formed in a cascade sequence. There is also the Loaded Up feature that will trigger randomly at any time and unlock between 1 and 12 blocked cells in the base game and between 2 and 18 blocked cells during a round of free spins.

In the base game, the global multiplier and the blocked positions will be reset at the end of each cascade sequence. During a round of free spins, the multiplier value will continue to grow, and the blocked positions will remain open throughout.

A round of the slot’s free spins feature is triggered with three or more bonus symbols. The slot also gives you a chance to purchase a round of free spins with its XPress option. During a round of free spins, some of the blocked cells will award additional free spins, and if you unlock all the cells, you will receive two additional free spins.

What is the Men in Tights is the Prince of Purrwood slot?

How little sleep had they got when they pitched this one? A Robin Hood-themed slot with Robin as a Chinese lucky cat that gets angry during a round of free spins? Sure, Frank, that sounds great. Here’s the thing, though, I’m not so sure it doesn’t work.

Despite the crazy pitch, the Prince of Purrwood slot is kinda perfect. The graphics are well executed, and the locked symbols and cascading reels feature offer some pretty out-of-the-ordinary gameplay. This may be the surprise of the year. I give it a nine out of ten.
