DESIGN AND PLAYER EXPERIENCE

The Sticky Bandits: Wild Return slot starts up with a heavy dose of country music. As the guitar melody rocks in the background, the game ushers players into the Three Skull Saloon. The animations literally take players through the saloon doors and give the game a very realistic feel.

You can see the old country folks having a great time in the background. Cowboy hats are on, drinks are on the table, and a good time awaits on the game screen.

There are a lot of high-paying symbols in this game. You’ll find randomly occurring Massive Symbols, which can be any of the three bandits. You’ll also encounter the Quick Slot Bonus symbol and the Scatter, which is responsible for the free spins.

The Wild is another special symbol in Sticky Bandits: Wild Return and comes in two forms: Regular and Sticky. The former is represented by a golden coin, while the latter is a golden skull with guns.

Regular symbols populating the reels include whiskey, cigars and the playing card symbols A, K, Q and J.

HOW TO PLAY STICKY BANDITS: WILD RETURN

Playing this slot simply requires you to choose your stake and hit the ‘Spin’ button. The game allows bets of between €0.20 and €100, which is a pretty inclusive range. Autoplay is also available, as well as a turbo spin function.

During the game, players get to experience some very engaging features. The first is the Massive Symbols feature, where any of the three bandits can land on a spin and cover 2×2 or 3×3 spots on the reels.

It gets even more exciting with the Lucky Shot Free Spins feature. Three Bonus Scatters trigger this feature and award seven free spins in the process. If a bandit lands during the free spins, a ‘lucky shot’ is fired. If the shot hits a regular symbol, it becomes a Regular Wild. However, if it hits a Massive Symbol, it transforms into a Sticky Wild. Sticky Wilds remains in position until the end of the Free Spins Bonus. They also perform the basic Wild function of substituting for all other symbols, except the Bonus Scatters. Regular Wilds can substitute for all symbols except the Sticky Wild and Bonus Scatter.

Last but not least is the Quick Slot Bonus, which activates when a Quick Slot symbol appears on reel five during the base game. It provides between one and three spins on the Quick Slot Machine. Here, the highest win is a multiplier of 500x your bet on a single spin.
