Sticky Bandits Unchained Overview
Back in 2017 Quickspin released Sticky Bandits. The first in what would become a series of slot games that included several sequels, including the last one, Sticky Bandits – Trail of Blood. Now they have added the fifth in this series, Sticky Bandits Unchained. Maybe the most extreme one yet. At least the one with the highest maximum payout.
The game still uses the western theme with several different bandits and other western themed symbols. But a little darker and more grittier than earlier titles.
You will find 5 reels that are each 3 symbols high and the game comes with 10 lines.
Besides four low paying card symbols, J, Q, K and A, there are also 4 medium to high paying character symbols. And last and most important there are wild symbols. These can land on each reel, but also count as the bonus symbol. because 3 or more will trigger one of the five different free spins features.
Sticky Bandits Unchained comes with a huge maximum payout of 35.000 times your bet and is a very high volatile slot game.

Verdict
Of course when the first Sticky Bandits came out, it was an almost direct clone of NetEnt’s very popular Dead or Alive slot. But Quickspin was able to improve and change any consecutive slot after that. And even with this fifth installment, Unchained, they added something new.
The fact that you are awarded with a colossal sticky wild during the free spins features is a lot of fun, because you already start with a nice advantage.
The normal free spins are pretty basic except for that colossal wild But the other two, with the limitless free spins and the multiplier can be amazing. Especially when you are able to get a lot of sticky wilds before the Cylinder hits. But because of this feature, it can also be frustrating when it hits too soon.
Overall Sticky Bandits Unchained is an amazing addition to an already great series of slots.
