The Great Stick-up Slot Review
I think the Wild West would’ve been a pretty mellow place to live if you came from South Africa. I mean think about it: stick-ups are part of our daily life here, so stagecoach robberies, cattle rustling, or even a bank robbery would barely get us to flutter an eyelid.
The upshot of living on this continent is that I’ve become an adrenaline junkie. I’m hoping that The Great Stick-up slot from Pragmatic Play will give me the fix that I need. Let’s find out.
Gameplay
This crime-themed slot takes place in rural America and your task is to create matching combos out of maps, cash, handcuffs, and detective symbols.
Unsurprisingly, Pragmatic Play has created a slot that’s a feast for the old eyeballs. It’s a beautifully crafted game that seems to jump off the screen. The characters even appear to have their own personalities – such is the level of detail. Magnificent!
I was curious to see what it would look like on my phone, though. Happily, it’s not too bad in portrait mode. Those large symbols allow the reels to be legible, even though the grid takes up just a third of my screen’s real estate.
You might be wondering if The Great Stick-up slot is all looks and no substance, so lemme get this out of the way – you can win a wallet-bulging €400,000 on this game. Take a moment to let that sink in. The volatility is high (no surprises there) and the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is a very decent 96.3%.
The only fly in the ointment for some players is that the game doesn’t accept Bitcoin Cash, Tether, Dogecoin, or Japanese yen.
Features
The only feature for this game is the Free Spins round. Yeah, it’s a bit strange that Pragmatic Play hasn’t offered anything else for a slot that pays out 400k but that’s just how it is.
FREE SPINS:
You’ll start this round off with 7 Free Spins when you hit 3 or more Scatters, and the Scatters pay out as follows:
5 Scatters pay 100x your total bet
4 Scatters pay 10x your total bet
3 Scatters pay 2x your total bet
During Free Spins, you’ll hopefully see a sticky Mystery symbol that brings a PROGRESSIVE FEATURE with it.
At the end of each spin, all of the landed Mystery symbols reveal a paying symbol and the Progressive feature increases the value of the symbols that have been revealed.
There are also 2 overlay Scatters (they look like sheriff's badges) that can randomly land and when they do, they bump the current Mystery symbol up to a higher value (you’ll see the symbols in the mini jail to the right of the grid).
You’ll then be awarded an extra Free Spin and if the value of the symbol goes all the way to premium symbol level, the progressive feature will end.
The WILD (it’s clearly marked, so you’ll know it when you see it) replaces all symbols other than the Scatter. Wilds appear on all reels.
Performance
I made this game sweat for many, many rounds but it didn’t shoot me down – not even once. Go ahead and play it on any device and use the browser of your choice.
Maximum Win
The Great Stick-up slot has one of the biggest max wins I’ve seen in a while: €400,000. You’ll score that when you bet at €80 (that’s the highest you can go; €0.20 is the lowest) and bring in the 5,000x multiplier.
Conclusion
I’ve mentioned the elephant in the room, namely that this game only offers Free Spins – which come in super frequently, I must admit – and the Progressive feature.
It’s threadbare for a game offering this kind of purse, but at least the frequency of the Free Spins breaks up what would be a dismally boring experience during the base game. Still, it’s very same-same and the tedium sets in quite quickly, nonetheless.
If the lack of features doesn’t faze you, then it’s worthwhile giving this game a go – considering how much money you could walk away with.
