The name of the game tells how this game would play - those bandits are sticky bandits and are the main characters in the game. But of course, that alone would not create the desired appeal for players, so they become both the Wild and the Scatter in one symbol, but that's not good enough to me! Why? Simply because the Quickspin guys forgot, or had purposely missed out, to add a win value to the Wild/Scatter symbol! Since the best win value is almost always with the Wild symbol, so missing this out means a great loss to the winning potentials of the game!
Okay, so they've compensated that loss with a few massive colossal symbols with those Bandits, thereby giving more chances of winning combinations, but what good would those do if the paytable itself is extremely low? The Wilds don't pay anything, the Scatters don't pay anything, and the Bonus symbol don't pay anything either. The highest winning symbol is that Cowgirl lady, with only a 6.6x total bet win value for getting 5 of her! The other symbols pay even lower, from 3.3x down to 1x the total bet amount. Worse still, this Sticky Bandits game has a 5-reels 5-rows format, but with only 30 paylines! What the argh! Say what you like, but trying to get any decent good win from a 5x5 grid format with just 30 paylines is simply almost impossible!
So what about the Free Spins game? Okay, when you get a Bonus symbol on reel 1, that's the only reel that has this symbol, and get one Bandit Wild/Scatter symbol anywhere on the other 4 reels, a Free Spins game is awarded. How many free spins? Not a lot, just 7 free spins, and without any multiplier! On top of that, you don't get any payout for triggering the Free Spins game either! What the argh! Can more free spins be retriggered? I wouldn't know, I didn't get any, and there are no indication in the paytable - maybe I had missed seeing it, but I don't think so.
Sorry to say, but I have given this Sticky Bandits game a few tries, but all I got was just disappointments! Those colossal Bandits symbols look good, but they don't actually do much good, not unless you get real lucky, but that would not happen often at all. Furthermore, the other regular icons appear a little too small for my liking, given that 5x5 grid format, which in itself, is not to my liking. This Sticky Bandits game gets a sticky 'pass' from me, hahaha.
