The_Robin_Hood_ game is played as follows: On day i, the Sheriff puts s(i) bags of gold in the cave. On night i, Robin removes r(i) bags from the cave. The game is played for each natural nymber i. Robin wins if each bag which was put in the cave is eventually removed from it; otherwise the Sheriff wins. Gasarch, Golub, and Srinivasan studied the Robin Hood game in the case of random strategies where Robin has no historical memory. We extend their main result to the case of bounded historical memory, and obtain a hierarchy of provably distinct games.
