Sticky Wilds and Expanding Sticky Wilds

Special slot machine feature: Sticky Wilds with wins that stick

There are different versions of sticky wilds but of all sticky wilds they have one thing in common, they add to payline win spins by completing additional combinations. Net Entertainment, for instance, has expanding sticky wilds in their slot game, Alien Robots. In this game, wilds expand to cover the entire reel and hold in place for free spins. The expanded sticky wilds then revert back to their original size after one spin and substitute for all symbols except scatters.

Other slot gaming providers include sticky wilds in their machines like gaming software developers from OpenBet. One slot in particular includes sticky wilds called Caribbean Nights. In this slot sticky wilds replace normal wild icons in the free spins round. The normal wild cards remain and will stick to the reels and move underneath during the following spin if the number on the icon is more than 1. The number of the icon will decrease by one following each consecutive spin until that number of spins has spun. If later, after the countdown is complete, another sticky wild appears, a new sticky wild will replace that of the previous sticky wild card.

The max wins during the free spins feature in the Dead or Alive slot is €54,000 but increases exponentially to €886,800 when it is included in the free spins round.
