Sticky Bandits

The Sticky Bandits slot machine is played on a playing field with 5 reels and 5 symbols per reel. There are 30 fixed paylines and you can bet from as little as €0.15 per spin. If you want to bet a bit more, you can do that too: the maximum bet is €90 per spin. This slot is suitable for all types of players: the low roller, the high roller and, like us, the medium roller.

The symbols come in stacked form and the wild symbols even come in mega symbols. That means you regularly make winning combinations. A downside is that the payouts are on the low side.
The highest paying symbols are the tough bandits, and these pay out between 2 x and (slightly more than) 7 x the bet if 5 land on an active payline.
With the card symbols it is completely mediocre: the J, Q, K and A pay out around 1 x your bet for 5 of the same.

There is nothing wrong with the theoretical payout percentage of Sticky Bandits: it is an excellent 96.58%. It may not be the highest paying Quickspin slot, but we can certainly live more here.
We estimate the variance of Sticky Bandits at medium. It must be said that you really need the free spins bonus to be able to win big. If the bonus feature does not fall or falls little, your balance can go quickly. Therefore, make sure you have a sufficiently large starting capital, so that you take at least 1 or 2 bonus rounds before you play broke.

As is the case with many slots, it's all about the bonus feature. This is activated in a somewhat different way with Sticky Bandits.
You must spin a train symbol on reel 1 and a Wild symbol on reel 2 and/or 4. The more stacked wilds that land, the better your chances in the bonus round. You win 7 free spins where all wilds are sticky. And that applies to the wilds that activated the bonus and to all wilds that fall during the free spins bonus.
The trick with this bonus is to spin wilds on reels 2 and 3 as quickly as possible. Because they are sticky, you can take advantage of every spin and the train of prizes can roll in. The free spins cannot be retriggered.
This bonus sometimes takes a long time, but usually pays out a nice amount. And sometimes, if you collect enough sticky wilds early on, this bonus can pay out really well.
