Sticky Bandits: Wild Return is a Wild West-themed slot from Quickspin.
It is worth noting that the Sticky Bandits: Wild Return slot is a sequel to the Sticky Bandits slot from 2017, which was acclaimed by players for its great graphics and features, although it disappointed some with its small maximum wins. And now, two years later, the developers of Quickspin decided to make a continuation of this slot and now we are presented with the Sticky Bandits: Wild Return slot machine, which promises to be better than its predecessor, and the main role is once again a gang of criminals engaged in robberies in the Wild West.
Design-wise, Quickspin's Sticky Bandits: Wild Return looks great. The game takes place again in the Wild West, or rather in one of the bars, and that is where the playing field is located. On the technical side, Sticky Bandits: Wild Return slot comes with five spinning reels and forty paylines to generate wins. A set of symbols will help you in this in the form of: card names J, Q, K and A, cigars, whiskey and three criminals - a man with a gray mustache, a guy with long hair and a red-haired girl. The latter is the most profitable symbol in the game and pays ten times your stake for a combination of five of these symbols. In addition to these symbols, the Sticky Bandits: Wild Return slot has several images with special features: Wild is a gold coin that substitutes for other symbols, Scatter is a skull that activates free spins and Bonus is a slot that launches a mini feature. All symbols in the slot are fully stacked, including the regular wild symbol, and the three criminals can appear as massive symbols, occupying either 2x2 or 3x3 positions on the playing field.
The biggest difference from the first version is the addition of a mini-game known as the Quick Slot Bonus feature. It is activated when a symbol in the style of old slot machines appears on the fifth gaming reel in the main game. Basically, you get between one and three spins on a classic looking one-armed bandit that only has four symbols (cherries, bars, horseshoes and lucky sevens). If three lucky sevens come up, you will get a max win of 500 times your stake.
The main feature in Sticky Bandits Wild Return is the free spins round called Lucky Shot Free Spins. It is activated as soon as you get three scatter symbols on the playing field. After that, you will become a member of seven free spins, during which you will be able to get sticky wild symbols if bandits appear. During any spin, a shot can occur and if a bullet hits a bandit symbol, it will be turned into a Sticky Wild, which is blocked for the duration of the feature. If the bullet hits a 2x2 or 3x3 criminal, all positions will turn into sticky wild symbols. If luck is on your side, there is a possibility that the entire playing field will be filled with wild symbols, and you, in turn, will get good winnings.
Summing up, I would like to say that Sticky Bandits: Wild Return turned out to be much better, more interesting and more profitable than its predecessor. Sticky Bandits: Wild Return is sure to please players and will be a great addition to Quickspin's slots.
