What are wilds in slots?
A wild symbol in a slot acts as a substitute for most other symbols, helping complete winning combinations that would otherwise miss. Think of it like a joker card — it fills in gaps on a payline to create matches.
How wilds help
If you need one more matching symbol to complete a paying line and a wild lands in that position, it counts as whatever symbol is needed to create the win. Wilds typically don’t substitute for special symbols like scatters or bonus symbols, but substitute for everything else.
Types of wilds
Basic wilds are standard substitutes. Expanding wilds grow to cover an entire reel when they land. Sticky wilds stay in place for several spins. Multiplier wilds apply a bonus multiplier to any win they contribute to. Stacked wilds appear as multiple wilds in a vertical column on a reel. Each variant adds a different layer of mechanics to the base game.
