Introduction to Sticky Bandits Roulette Live
Sticky Bandits Roulette Live is a live game from Playtech that invites you to a Western saloon. A saloon is a kind of bar that served customers, including cowboys, outlaws, and gamblers, in the Old West, particularly during the 19th century. This game is a collaboration with Quickspin and a Live Game version of the highly rated Sticky Bandits slot series. Here, we are presented with a mix of classic roulette action and a slot bonus game. The Bandit Bonus Game is a basic slot experience played on a 3x3 game grid featuring multipliers up to 300X. Compared to other popular roulette games, such as the Lightning Roulette series from Evolution, this game feels overly complicated due to its overwhelming rules and complex mechanics. However, combining roulette with a slot-inspired Bonus Game and good stats might find an audience, but the basic slot mechanism feels shallow and takes focus from the Roulette action, resulting in an average rating. Let’s find out what Sticky Bandits Roulette Live offers.

Final Thoughts on Sticky Bandits Roulette Live
Let’s step inside the saloon for a Western roulette adventure, featuring a live host spinning the wheel. Playtech has created a decent design, with a dimly lit studio and a Wild West theme. It doesn’t have the same quality visuals we’ve seen in Evolution's Live Games, but it still offers a realistic Western vibe.
So what about the gameplay? Here, we are offered a mix of roulette and a traditional slot game. The roulette has a classic European approach and features Lucky Multipliers during each round with values up to 4X. However, the main selling point is the Bandit Bonus Game, which can be triggered by hitting a Bandit Number during a roulette spin. We are welcomed by a classic 3x3 slot setup, with a random multiplier ranging from 20X to 300X. Although the multipliers can create good wins, we believe the basic slot bonus game lacks innovation and feels outdated. However, if you like the combination of roulette + slots, and want to live as a cowboy gambler, it might hit home.
Overall, with decent design and a good Wild West setup, Sicky Bandits Roulette creates a believable Wild West atmosphere. With that said, we are less impressed with the gameplay, which features a traditional roulette game and a basic slot experience as the Bonus Game. Sure, the Bonus Game can offer potentially large multipliers, but the setup feels outdated and doesn’t offer the level of innovation we expect to get a high rating.
Sticky Bandits Roulette Live is a live game where you step inside a Wild West saloon to experience a standard roulette game with a basic slot bonus game, making this a less explosive showdown than we expected.
