Sticky Bandits Roulette Live: Our Review, How and Where to Play

The base gameplay is mostly identical to any other live casino roulette game out there. If you’ve ever played one before, you’ll quickly figure out what to do. If not, we suggest starting with our beginner’s guide to live roulette.

You start by selecting the size of your stake using the chips at the bottom of the screen. Place the chips on the betting position(s) for the wagers you wish to make, and hit ‘confirm’ to complete the bet. Once the betting period is over, the dealer spins the wheel and the winners are determined based on where the ball lands.

All standard roulette bets are available in Sticky Bandit Roulette Live, giving you plenty of options for how you want to play things. Additionally, you can use the Bandit Bonus bet and Buy Bonus option to interact with the bonus rounds. More on that later.

For now, note that only Inside bets can interact with the game’s special features, namely the Lucky multipliers and the Bandit bonus. Specifically, Straight Up, Split, Street, Corner, and Line bets can be used to trigger the features. However, the base rewards that you receive from these bets if you don’t trigger a multiplier or bonus have been reduced compared to industry standards for roulette. Outside bets can be placed, but they just work the way they would with any other roulette game.

Lastly, the type of inside bet you place also affects any potential payouts from the bonus rounds. This depends on how many numbers the bet covers, with less probable bets paying more. For example, Straight Up bets receive the full prize of any bonus rounds they qualify for. Split bets receive 1/2, Street receives 1/3, Corner bets win 1/4, while Line bets win 1/6.

Lucky Number Multipliers

In every round, one number is randomly selected by RNG and marked with a multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 4x.

If this numbers ends up winning the round, any resulting payouts are increased by the displayed amount. For instance, winning a bet on a number with a 2x multiplier offers double the usual rewards.

Lucky multipliers in Sticky Bandits Roulette affect all Inside bets. A Lucky Number can appear on the same number as a Bandit Number. In this case, if the bonus round triggers, all rewards from the bonus round are increased by the win multiplier.

Bandit Bonus Round

Additionally, three numbers are randomly selected in every round as Bandit numbers. One is Green with a 1x multiplier, one is Blue with a 3x multiplier, and one is Orange with a 5x multiplier. All three are used to trigger the same bonus round. However, if the round is triggered using a Blue or Orange Bandit number, any resulting prizes are increased by 3x or 5x, respectively.

If the ball lands on a Bandit number, all players with an active bet covering that number participate in the bonus round. Everyone else just has to watch.

The bonus round itself is a 3×3 slot machine that’s calculated entirely by RNG. It contains several regular symbols, Sticky Wild symbols, and randomly assigned multipliers across the diagonals. You initially get three spins, but can win more using some of its features.

Like in all slot machines, there’s really not much you can do for this section of the game. Just sit back, relax, and hope for the best.

Bandit Bet and Bonus Buy

Playtech Sticky Bandits Roulette contains two betting options you would not find at a typical roulette table.

The Bandit Bet is used to guarantee your participation in any bonus rounds. If you have an active Bandit Bet and the Bonus round is triggered through a Bandit number, you automatically participate, regardless of which number was selected as the Bandit number. This option costs 7x the chip you place on it. Note that only the base chip value is used to calculate any payouts.

The Bonus Buy allows you to instantly trigger a Sticky Bandits Roulette bonus round on the next round, regardless of the actual result. Basically, it means you can take a swing at the slot machine at any time. If you use this option, a private session of the bonus round starts as soon as the current round is over. Only you participate in this bonus round, but it otherwise works as normal. This option costs 90x the bet to use.
