- Betting range from $/€0.10 – $/€100
- Max win of 10,000x
Swedish game developer known for creating “awesome slots and groundbreaking gamification tools” aimed at the real money online gambling market, Quickspin, has once again saddled up for another Wild West adventure in their long-running Sticky Bandits series.
“Sticky Bandits Thunder Rail” successfully carries over some of the hallmarks fans expect, like sticky wilds and high-stakes visuals.
However, this entry throws in a unique twist with an action-packed bonus round that brings a whole new kind of tension to the tracks.
Symbols & Payouts
Set against a dusty Arizona backdrop, the story kicks off with two outlaws, Colt and Ezra, plotting a classic train robbery.
The slot blends a comic book aesthetic with cinematic flair, giving players a visually rich ride through the desert.
During the base game, players spin across a 5 reel grid that can grow to a 7×7 layout, with win ways ranging from 26 to 53, depending on grid size.
Bet sizes start as low as $0.05 and go up to $100. For those looking to up the ante, the Extra Bet feature adds Mystery Wilds for a slightly higher RTP of 96.33%.
Special Features
Sticky Bandits Thunder Rail is loaded with eight types of wilds, plus a ninth available with Extra Bets. They all stick to the reels and are capable of triggering respins.
While some work by expanding the grid, others will multiply wins up to 100x, and a few will offer instant cash prizes or add extra wilds.
One of the best highlights is, however, the Train Heist Bonus. This bonus kicks off with at least three scatters, giving you three lives and a Bandit who activates symbols across the grid.
Symbols can boost, double, or collect values. However, players should watch out for Guards, who can end the round if they appear too often.
Players who want to skip ahead can buy bonus features: a wild spin for 5x your bet, or jump straight into the bonus game for 60x or 155x, depending on how many scatters you want active.
All in all, Sticky Bandits Thunder Rail may not be the flashiest of the bunch, but its inventive gameplay and suspenseful bonus feature give it a bold identity and a compelling reason to hop aboard the Quickspin Slot.
