The Great Stick-Up

The Great Stick Up drops players into a troubled American town where detectives, stacks of cash, handcuffs and a collection of dangerous criminals create the atmosphere of a vintage robbery story. Pragmatic Play keeps the base game deliberately simple across 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines, saving almost all of the unusual mechanics for the Free Spins feature. That bonus introduces Sticky Mystery Symbols and a progression system where collected Overlay Symbols gradually improve what every Mystery position can reveal. With high volatility and maximum potential of 5,000x the total bet, the most interesting bonuses are those where several Mystery positions accumulate before their reveal symbol progresses into the premium characters. Regular wins require at least three matching symbols across consecutive reels from left to right, beginning with reel 1. The lower section of the paytable is filled with objects connected to the investigation and robbery, including pipes, magnifying glasses, detective hats, maps, handcuffs and cash. Four criminals form the premium symbols and provide the strongest standard combinations. The detective acts as the Wild and can appear across all five reels. It substitutes for regular paying symbols but not for the Police Siren Scatter. The Wild also carries its own value, with five matching Wilds across one payline awarding 75x the total bet. There are no additional Wild transformations during ordinary spins, keeping the base game focused almost entirely on standard line combinations and Scatter hunting. The Police Siren acts as the Scatter and can appear across the complete reel set. Landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatters activates 7 Free Spins regardless of the number involved in the trigger, but the immediate Scatter payout increases significantly. Three Scatters pay 2x the total bet, four award 10x and five provide 100x before the feature begins. The Free Spins round introduces Sticky Mystery Symbols, which do not appear as part of the standard base game mechanic. Whenever one lands, it remains locked in exactly the same position for all remaining Free Spins. Additional Mystery Symbols can appear later and become sticky as well, allowing the feature to gradually accumulate several permanent Mystery positions across the grid. All Sticky Mystery Symbols reveal the same paying symbol. The active reveal is shown in a dedicated position beside the reels, so players always know which symbol the Mystery positions currently represent. The progression begins with the lowest paying available symbol and can move upwards through the paytable as the bonus develops. Small Overlay Symbols provide the upgrade mechanic. These overlays can appear attached to ordinary symbols during Free Spins and are collected when they land. Every 2 collected Overlay Symbols advance the Mystery reveal to the next more valuable paying symbol. At the same time, the game awards 1 additional Free Spin. The combination of these two mechanics creates the main progression in The Great Stick Up. Accumulating several Sticky Mystery positions early gives the feature a larger permanent footprint, while collecting Overlays improves the symbol represented by every one of those positions simultaneously. A Mystery layout that initially represents a low value symbol can therefore become much more valuable without the sticky positions themselves needing to land again. The progression continues through increasingly valuable symbols until the highest paying premium character is reached. Once the top symbol is active, the Mystery value cannot be upgraded any further. Existing Sticky Mystery Symbols still remain in position for the rest of the feature and continue revealing that premium character whenever wins are evaluated. Overlay extensions are particularly useful because they perform two jobs at once. Every pair improves the value represented by all accumulated Mystery positions and adds another Free Spin, giving the upgraded layout an additional opportunity to produce a combination. A bonus that collects Overlays early can therefore develop considerably more momentum than one where progression happens only near the final spin. The Great Stick Up has an RTP of up to 96.30%, with lower configurations of 95.32% and 94.40% also documented. Bets in the standard configuration range from 0.20 to 100 and maximum potential reaches 5,000x the total wager. The game does not try to distribute its attention across several unrelated mechanics. Its identity is concentrated almost entirely inside the robbery themed Free Spins, where the real objective is to build a useful collection of Sticky Mystery positions and then push their shared symbol as far up the paytable as possible before the feature ends.
