Saddle up and join us as we review Sticky Bandits to see what separates it from the many Wild West slots we’ve seen.

How to play Sticky Bandits

We had high expectations of Sticky Bandits as Quickspin has a reputation for producing online slots with excellent graphics. Sticky Bandits online lives up to that reputation by putting you in the heart of a desert canyon with cacti and a railroad, and a dramatic Western soundtrack to boot.

The symbols have been expertly crafted and rendered. You get standard playing card numbers as the low-value symbols – J, Q, K, and A. High-value symbols are Sacks of Gold Coins, Dynamite, and Desperados. There is also a Female Bandit, who is the highest paying symbol delivering 6.66x your stake when you land 5 on an active payline.

There are two special symbols to consider along with the standard icons. The Shooting Cowboy Massive Wilds can cover up to 5 rows and combine with other symbols to create winning combinations. These wilds only appear on rows 2-5. There is also the Train Scatter, which appears in reel 1 and starts the Free Spins Bonus.

The Sticky Bandits online slot uses a 5x5 grid, with 30 paylines open for betting. You can set your wager as low as $0.15 or as high as $90 per spin. If you’re up for a session of high rolling, you can click the Total Bet button to max out your wager across all active paylines.

The Sticky Bandits RTP is a generous 96.58% and the variance is rated as high. This makes it best suited to players willing to keep their hand on their gun and wait for a big win. The top payout in Sticky Bandits is $66,510.

Sticky Bandits jackpot & bonuses

You can trigger the Sticky Bandits bonus round if you land a Train Scatter on reel 1 and a Massive Wild on reels 2-5. This will provide you with 7 free spins. Only needing 1 scatter symbol makes this bonus feature easier to trigger than many other slot features.

You can’t get more Train Scatters to trigger more free spins, which is a little disappointing. However, during the Free Spins Bonus, any that land on the reels turn into Sticky Wilds and remain for the rest of the bonus.

Sticky Bandits mobile options

You can play Sticky Bandits on the go thanks to its HTML5 technology. The game will fit any mobile screen size, including through a real money casino app or your web browser.

The horizontal version of the mobile slot game looks great and is easy to play, thanks to good spacing and well-sized buttons. On the other hand, the grid on the vertical version of the slot is far too small, and too much space is taken up by the background. However, thanks to the convenient horizontal version, it’s still very possible to play Sticky Bandits on the move.

Conclusion

It’s easy to see why Sticky Bandits is so popular. The game ensures you’ve got your stetson and spurs on with its quality graphics and immersive soundtrack. The Massive Wilds allow you to hit big wins in the base game and also trigger the fun Free Spins Bonus.

In some areas, Sticky Bandits isn’t quite as quick on the draw. A maximum win of $66,510 is low considering this is a high volatility slot. Likewise, you can only win a maximum of 7 free spins at a time. However, when the dust settles, there is still plenty to like about Sticky Bandits, and loads of slots fans will be eager to join the fight.
