Will Quickspin’s Sticky Bandits Slot Lead To Daytime Robbery?

18+

Quickspin are an unusual lot.

They generally like to create easy win games that flow with each spin; slots like Spinions or the Gold Lab game, for example.

And then, every once in a while, they surprise us with incredible fast-paced big-win games that feel like they’ve come out of nowhere.

So where will this Sticky Bandits slot machine stand? Let’s see if we can decipher the clues given to us by the Quickspin software slot team.

A 2 minute video preview of the Sticky Bandits slot

Our biggest clues lie in this Sticky Bandit slot video which showcases all the features:

If you can’t (or won’t) watch the video, don’t worry. We will break down each little bit of it below.

Key features of this Quickspin game:

• Massive 5×5 reels
• Train robbery wild west heist theme
• Return to Player Rate: 96.58%
• Win up to 739 times your bet
• Massive wild symbols that cover 2 reels by 5 rows
• Use the wilds to trigger bonus feature
• Trigger 7 free spins where all the wild symbols stay sticky on screen

Those are pretty interesting stats.

Cashin on the ol’ Spaghetti Western theme

First of all, let’s talk theme.

It’s not the most important aspect of a slot machine; after all we love Cool Bucks slot by Microgaming, even if it looks like something that was created by Windows 1997.

But, let’s be honest, there’s something about a good theme that makes you want to click on the image and find out more.

Is the wild wild west dead?

The problem is that the old west slot theme has been done before, many times before.

In fact, this year we saw NetEntertainment release the Wild Wild West phone slot in February 2017.

The reason we mention this theme is because they are both ridiculously similar, not just because they are set in the wild west, but because both are about train robberies.

Granted, the graphics are subtly different, but do we really need another wild west slot?

Yes. Yes we do.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a spaghetti western, but that’s not to say we don’t have fond memories of sitting around with the family watching gems like the Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

So you know what? We’re going to say that there’s nothing wrong with having another excuse to head to the land of cowboys and Indians.

Because if we can regress to childhood when playing mobile and tablet slot games, what’s the point of playing at all?

Will the slot gameplay match the graphics?

The real point of playing, of course, is the wins you’ll get whilst spinning on this Sticky Bandits slot game.

And on this front, we’re not convinced you’ll be as willing to overlook some major disadvantages.

1. These are big reels, but will it be mean wins?

If you look at the video, the biggest wins you can see there are around 50x your bet.

Which isn’t that impressive when you consider that games like Moon Princess by Play’n GO have wins of 5,000 times your bet.

However, that’s not to say that this game won’t be fun to play.

Just that, with such big reels, we’d bet that any 3 or 4 of a kind symbol wins will give you minimal returns.

2. You’ll be dependent on those big bonus slot wilds

That means that, in order to get big wins of any consequence, you’ll need to get several 4 or 5 of a kind wins in one spin.

And you’ll only be able to do that thanks to those huge massive wilds that cover 2 reels and 5 rows worth of symbols.

Don’t they look impressive? We loved the colossal symbols in the like of Spinata Grande game, why not in these Sticky Bandits casino reels?

The big fear, of course, is that the lack of variety will make this casino game visually boring.

When only two big symbols give you big wins, if anything else lands on the reel, you’ll be less than thrilled.

3. The sticky wilds in the Sticky Bandits free spins look good

This is what might make this Quickspin slot game worth spinning most of all.

The fact that once you’ve triggered you 7 free spins, you’ll get sticky wilds on screen for the remainder of the free spins.

However, when you consider that games like the Ice Cave slot by Playtech give you sticky wilds on practically every spin, these Sticky Bandits bonus games have better be out of this world impressive.

But, we shall remain optimistic.

After all, sticky wilds are one of our favourite slot bonus game features.

Will the Sticky Bandits mobile slot be worth playing?

It’s a hard one to say for sure.

Not because we don’t think Quickspin are capable of making great games.

But because we’ve also seen them make fairly mediocre ones; and generally they tend to be the ones that don’t give you the wins you deserve.

So the jury is out on this Sticky Bandits game; at least until it’s released on the 15th of August, at which point we will be the first ones to review it.

Want to try some awesome Quickspin video slots?

Whether Sticky Bandits has tickled your fancy, or you’d like to see why Quickspin is now on our slot release radar, we’ve got some great games for you to try out.

For one, you have to give their mobile Wins of Fortune slot game a go; it’s new, but with some fun bigger reel mechanics you won’t find anywhere else.

The Wild Chase game is surprisingly good fun, and features those sticky wilds we love so much.

Finally, round off your game play with a little Hot Sync slot action, where the wilds go truly wild with re-spins.

Where can you play all these gems? Personally we’d recommend Casumo casino, who give you 200 free spins and £€1,200 in extra bonus money; letting you play for longer and put some oomph in your game play.
