Sticky Bandits slot review (Quickspin)

Sticky Bandits was released in August 2017 by Quickspin and is an online, Western-themed slot with some pretty unique and exciting features

It offers 30 pay lines, stacked symbols and sticky wilds in the free spins bonus.

Sticky Bandits also look the part, as all Quickspin slots tend to do. This high octane, medium variance slot offers players a return to player of 96.58% and plenty of gun-toting action!

So, let’s not waste any time and jump right in this review of the Sticky Bandits slot.

Sticky Bandits Game Mechanics and Features

The Sticky Bandits slot has five reels with 5 symbols per reel. The number of fixed pay lines is set at 30, which seems slightly low when you consider the number of rows and symbols. However, all the symbols are stacked, and that includes the wild symbol. The minimum bet is $0.30 per spin, and the maximum bet is $90 per spin, so all types of players can enjoy this great release. 

As is often the case with Quickspin slots, most symbols are low paying. Even the premium symbols in this game, various badass outlaws, only pay between a little below 7 x and 2 x your total stake if you get a 5-of-a-kind on an active pay line.  The lower paying symbols, the card symbols J, Q, K and A, pay 1 x your total stake or a little over 1 x your stake.

To get the big wins, you need some help from the wild symbols and the fact that all symbols come stacked. Almost-full or even full screens of the same symbol are not rare in the base game and are common in the free spins bonus game.

The Free Spins Bonus

Whenever a Train Bonus symbol lands on the 1st reel and a bonus, Wild Symbol lands on the 2nd and/or 4th reel; the free spins bonus is activated.

You win 7 free spins, where all wilds that appear on the screen remain sticky for the duration of the free spins. That includes those wilds that triggered the bonus feature. Although you cannot retrigger the free spins bonus, it can be very profitable, especially if you succeed in landing extra sticky wilds.

If you are lucky enough to get sticky wilds on the first set of reels, every free spin is a guaranteed big win, or even a super big win.

We love this free spins bonus – the excitement when you land a set of stacked, sticky wilds symbols is unbeatable – even more so if you have several free spins left in the bonus.

Our verdict on Sticky Bandits

We have a soft spot in our hearts for Quickspin slots. They are always designed with care and passion, and the bonus features are never ordinary or dull. Technically, their slots are top-notch, with smooth animations and spinning reels that never lag or crash.

Sticky Bandits is a delightful slot that can bring some big wins, especially if you manage to hit a nice bonus feature with lots of sticky wilds early on.
