The world of crime in the 1960´s is in the spotlight with The Great Stick-up an exciting and creative online video slot game developed by Pragmatic Play and released in May 2022.
The iconic slot developers have served up simple and straightforward gameplay which is easy to get to grips with along with rewarding features that bring high energy and also handsome payouts of 5,000x players bet. It is well designed and a lot of atmospheric detail shows in the superb artwork, animations and colourful characters.
The Great Stick-up slot sees players pitted against some smooth and dangerous criminals who have the police on their tail in the streets of a high rise city which brings in a handsome detective on a crime solving hunt for the thieves treasure.
A gaming grid of 5 reels and 3 rows offers 20 paylines (ways to win) and is presented with a varied range of betting options. Bets can be placed between a minimum of $0.20 per spin and up to $100.00 for the maximum per spin which makes it accommodating to players with different budgets. An optional auto-play button allows for spins to be pre automated and this can be a useful option for those who are more budget conscious.
The RTP (Return to Player) is 96.30% and volatility is high in this game which presents a lot of thrill to the high rollers but also a challenge to novices and beginners as they will need to exercise both prudence and caution over the course of gameplay as big wins can be slow to kick in.
A minimum of three and up to a maximum of five identical and matching symbols is needed on a payline to provide cash prizes. All symbols pay from left to right on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost one.
The wild symbol is represented by the sly detective who helps create more winning combinations by substituting for other symbols except for the red car siren scatters. These wilds can land on all reels and depending on whether you land 3, 4 or 5 will result in payouts of 5x, 15x and 75x the bet respectively.
The lady with a dangling cigarette and who is the leader of the gang is the most valuable symbol in the game with the four members of the crew also bringing high payouts as well as the revolver paying out between 50x and 10x bet for five of the same symbol type. Wads of dollar bills, handcuffs and a treasure map/scroll bring medium sized wins and the symbols with the lowest payouts are a smoking pipe, magnifying glass and a hat paying between 1x and 5x the bet for five of the same.
Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters on the reels results in players receiving an instant prize of either 2x, 10x or 100x the bet. They also trigger a scenery change to a prison cell and the Free Spins feature where the round starts with 7 free spins and where players will also be able to land the special sticky mystery symbols. Whenever the sticky mystery symbol hits it remains active on the screen until the end of the free spins round also increasing players chances of gaining further wins.
When this progressive feature starts all the sticky mystery symbols reveal the lowest paying symbol and collecting 2 overlay star symbols can appear attached to any normal sized symbol in the game to change and upgrade the revealed symbol one step up in value and where players win an additional free spin. The mystery symbol keeps upgrading and if the progressive feature reaches the highest paying symbol (the lady crime boss) the feature cannot be re-triggered anymore.
