Bandits Thunder Link Slot - Free Play and Reviews

The Bandits Thunder Link slot is set in a classical railroad station, with trains puffing smoke in the background and station buildings looming over the reels to the right. The graphic quality is excellent, as you can see the smoke animation as it blows over the reels and into the sky. The theme suggests an exciting story setting, and it looks as if real bandits are coming to the railroad station to threaten a Western-style town just like the old days.

The Bandits Thunder Link slot features a free spins bonus where you can choose the type of free spins you want. You can pick free spins with sticky wilds and a 2x win multiplier, free spins with sticky wilds and multiplier wilds, or a respins round with multipliers. Overall, the features are solid, and we will explain all of them in detail soon.

This game uses symbols that blend in well with the theme. When a high card symbol has a horseshoe pattern on it, it means it’ll be worth a smaller payout if it crosses any of the ten lines. Other symbols like the cowboy hat, five-pointed sheriff badge, a revolver, and bars of gold are worth bigger prizes.

Stakelogic features five bandits in Bandits Thunder Link that are very well designed, and they each have their exciting personalities, like the leader with his blonde hair or the young member who wields a knife and an evil grin. The attention to detail is fantastic in this slot. The inspiration behind this game is not one but two game slot titles: NetEnt’s Dead or Alive and Relax Gaming’s Money Train 2. The title may be the only thing that they devised on their own.

This is a lovely slot with enjoyable gameplay. However, the high volatility can be a bit heavy on the pocket and suitable for high-end players. Before diving into the game and risking casino chips, we first tried the free slots version to get some idea about the rules and prizes. We played the game for free for the first 30 spins just like we would with real money.

The payouts in the base game at an average bet of €2 aren’t very impressive, which is the level we tried. We won a payout of 30x in the free spins through the Bonus Buy feature. We won a payout of 30x in the free spins through the buy feature. This means we won €5.8 on every free spin.

You can set your bet amount with the buttons given at the bottom of the screen.

The Bandits Thunder Link slot from StakeLogic slot developers is a very well-made slot with many exciting features for the players, like Sticky Wilds with multipliers, Western-themed symbols, and a big jackpot. But the game itself isn’t that easy, and you have to play carefully. The high volatility makes it a slot for high-end players with big budgets, so make sure you have at least €500 to spare before you dive in. At the bet level of €2, You can unlock the Buy Option for €200.

There are three types of free spins bonuses, and the Modifiers on the last free spins make the gameplay even more enjoyable. It gives you three free spins initially, but you can win more by landing additional scatters.

Coming to our final verdict of Bandits Thunder Link, we will recommend this slot to anyone who’s a fan of the Western theme or likes high-risk high-rewards slots. The game itself isn’t wholly original and copies a lot of stuff from Money Train 2 and DOA2, but fans of Dead or Alive will surely love this one. But be careful of the high volatility not to lose all your money while winning over the sheriff.
