The Stash Slot Review

The Stash RTP, Details & Wager Limits

Open The Stash slot and you’ll find a 5 reels with a 3-4-4-4-3 row formation. This gives you 576 ways to win, and winning combinations are created when the same symbols land from left to right on adjacent reels.

To begin, choose a stake between 20p and £10 per spin. You can adjust this by clicking the coin symbol below the reels. This brings up a menu of pre-set bet sizes. The Stash slot also comes with a Stash Bet option. This costs you an extra 25% per spin (so a £1 bet becomes £1.25) and doubles your chance of triggering a bonus feature. If you’re playing from outside of the UK, you’ll also find Auto Spin and Turbo Spin options available.

The slot has a medium-high volatility and a 96% RTP rate. There is, however, a 94% version available, so make sure your playing at our recommended slot sites for the best experience. The Stash also offers max wins of 10,000 x your stake. These are mostly likely to come during the Ultimate Heist feature, which we’ll talk more about later.

Theme – play alongside London’s best gangsters

Whilst we see felons and weapons all the time in slots, it’s nice to see that Blueprint Gaming has chosen a slightly more unique approach with this game. The Stash is set somewhere in London, in a dark alley outside The Black Dog pub. We can almost hear the cockney accents, and it’s probably no coincidence that the characters and logo for the slot remind us of a Guy Richie film. Though this is a dark and grimy title, the modern graphics deliver a pop of colour.

On the reels, lower paying symbols include royal values, playing cards, and guns. 4 gangsters make up the higher end of the paytable, rewarding you with up to 3 x your bet for a 5 of a kind combination.
The game also comes with stacked wild symbols that can carry multipliers, as well as 2 bonus scatters.

The Stash Mobile

Like most Blueprint Gaming slots, The Stash runs on HTML5 technology. This means you can enjoy it on all devices, including mobiles, PCs, laptops and tablets. Surprisingly, the game looks great on the smaller screen too, even though there’s a lot of detail in the illustrations.

The Stash Bonus Features

The Stash slot comes with 3 main bonus features. This includes a Hold and Win round, a Free Spins round, and an extra Bonus round which combines everything at once. There’s also a Bonus Buy feature.

Shoot and Spin Feature

The Shoot and Spin feature is triggered when you land 3 or more Shoot and Spin scatter symbols anywhere on the middle 3 reels in the base game. You’re then given 3 spins of a Hold and Win type game, which is played on new golden reels.

Respins reset when you land new multiplier symbols on the reels, and character symbols also work to modify the game. They can expand the playing area, collect multipliers, and so on.

The Hit Free Spins Feature

The Hit Free Spins feature begins when you land a free spins scatter on reels 1 and 5. You begin the round with 8 free spins, and these are played out inside of the The Black Dog pub.

During the free spins round, you can land stacked wild symbols which cover whole reels. If these wilds land in a position where they’re only partially visible, they’ll nudge into place. For each nudge, the round’s total multiplier will increase by 1. This continues until the wild is fully on the reels.

Ultimate Heist Feature

Combining both of the bonus features mentioned above is the Ultimate Heist feature. To trigger this round, you must land 5 scatters at once in the base game. This includes 2 of The Hit free spins scatters on reels 1 and 5, and 3 of the Shoot and Spin scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4.

The Ultimate Heist feature begins with the Free Spins round, where you can collect multipliers. Any multipliers collected are then applied to your respins during the Shoot and Spin game. This is a particularly lucrative feature, but it doesn’t trigger very often.

Bonus Buy Feature

Outside of the UK, The Stash slot also comes with 3 Bonus Buy options. Pay a fee and you’ll gain immediate entry into either the Shoot and Spin feature, The Hit feature or the Ultimate Heist feature.

The Stash Summary – plenty of action

We’re glad to see Blueprint Gaming are getting out of their comfort zone and giving us the gritty slots we love. The Stash boasts superb graphics and a very entertaining theme.

In terms of gameplay, there’s a lot going on but it does feel familiar. The nudging wilds are very similar to the xNudge Wild feature by Nolimit City, and the unconventional reel setup can be found on Nolimit City slots too.

Still, Blueprint Gaming have added a unique touch by offering the Ultimate Heist round, which is also the key to winning big. Rack up a decent multiplier amount during the Free Spins and there’s a chance of claiming those 10,000 x bet max wins in the Shoot and Spin feature that follows.

Overall, there’s plenty to enjoy here and we we’re definitely entertained. It’s a surprising release by the provider, and we’re keen to see whether they keep this new approach up.
