How Sticky Bandits plays
A 5x5 slot where giant bandit wilds land on reels 2 and 4 and spread over neighbouring positions to the right; they count as both wild and bonus. A bonus symbol on reel 1 together with a wild on reel 2 or 4 gives seven free spins, and every position that was wild at the trigger stays wild for the whole round.
Theme: Wild West train robbery. Filed under Wild West, Crime and heists.
Features in this game
- Expanding wilds: A wild symbol that grows to cover its whole reel (or more) when it lands, substituting in every position it covers.
- Sticky wilds: A wild that stays in place for more than one spin, usually through a respin sequence or a whole free spins round.
- Free spins: A bonus round of spins played at no extra cost, usually triggered by scatter symbols and often with extra features.
What the figures mean
An RTP of 96.58% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.42%, so every £100 staked costs £3.42 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £6.84, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.
The provider rates volatility as 4.10 of 5. That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.
