Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood Slot Review

Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood Slot Overview

As soon as I loaded Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood I felt the tone shift from earlier rides with this series. Tex Tallonis has ditched the dusty horizons for a fog choked town, hunting down the crooks who wiped out his family. The 5x3 layout sits between gallows and crooked buildings, with moody lighting and a brooding soundtrack giving the whole thing the feel of a grim revenge western.

Under the moody skin, Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood keeps things fairly straightforward. You get 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines, with bets from 0.10 up to 100 on any device. The wild characters do double duty as scatters, and the whole game is built around landing and sticking them. No random modifiers or side games here, just tight, high risk line wins driven by sticky wild patterns.

Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood Slot Information

Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood runs on a high volatility math model that can be brutal in stretches, but the figures back up the hit potential. Standard RTP tops out at 96.23 percent, although lower settings exist, and the stated max win is 17,279 times your stake. The bonus buy options, where offered, nudge the theoretical return slightly higher, pushing it towards the upper end of that range.

Symbols in Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood

In Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood the lower paying symbols are the J, Q, K and A in a rough western font. They do not look like much, but they fill a lot of lines, paying between 4 and 10 times the bet for five of a kind. You need at least three of them from the leftmost reel to score, so they tend to carry the lighter base game hits.

The premium set is far more exciting, made up of a fire bomb, brass knuckles, a bloodied knife and a revolver. These pay from 20 to 75 times the stake for five of a kind, and the key point is that they start paying from just two on a line. When you thread these through wilds you really feel the grid tighten, even before the bonus round shows up.

The wild symbols in Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood are five different characters in golden frames, each standing in for regular symbols. They are also the most valuable icons, paying 1, 2.5, 15 or a chunky 300 times the bet for 2, 3, 4 or 5 of a kind. On top of that, they act as scatters, so stacking them is the core route into the slot's revenge feature.

Revenge Free Spins in Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood

In Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood the main feature is Revenge Free Spins, triggered whenever 3, 4 or 5 wild scatters land in view. That gives you 10, 12 or 15 free spins, and the wilds that triggered the round lock in place straight away. Those sticky positions sit on the reels for the rest of the bonus, acting as permanent wilds and forming the backbone of any serious payout.

Every extra wild that lands during Revenge Free Spins sticks as well and adds one extra spin to the counter. Fill a full payline with wilds and you have built the famous trail of blood, which throws out 300 times the stake on that line for the current spin and every remaining spin. When that happens the screen feels locked, and each click of the counter can be properly nerve shredding.

Bonus Buy Feature in Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood

Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood also offers a Bonus Buy button in some markets, letting you jump straight into the action instead of grinding the base game. Pay 100 times the bet and you get a round with at least 3 sticky wilds to start, at an RTP of 96.36 percent, or pay 400 times and start with 4 or more wilds and a slightly higher 96.68 percent setting.

Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood Slot Verdict

For me Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood hits a sweet spot between gritty western story and very direct gameplay. The visuals have taken a noticeable step up from earlier outings, with fog, lanterns and gallows painting a proper revenge scene, and the spin pace feels slick. At the same time the feature set is razor simple, so you are never distracted from chasing those sticky wild lines.

There is no win multiplier or side mechanic propping things up, so big results lean heavily on at least one trail of blood, and that can make the bonus feel very swingy. I have had rounds where four wilds lined up and then fizzled out on low royals, and others where a last spin wild saved the day. If you enjoy hard hitting western slots built around sticky wilds, this one deserves a proper session.
