No matter whether you are playing video slots or normal online slots, these standard symbols have one thing in common: they never come with any additional features attached to them and their sole purpose is to line up and give you a win.
Wild symbols are used to complete paylines, as they can become any other symbol that’s associated with the payout table. They can be made into anything you desire and can help you create a winning payline.
Some of the wilds you might encounter include:
Standard wild: A singular symbol that shows up with regular symbols.
Mega wild: A wild that covers a 2×2, 3×3, 4×4 etc… space. ie. The fat rabbit. Wild reel: One of the reels is totally wild for one or more spins. ie. Dragon Ship.
Expanded wild: Like wild reels, except when a standard wild symbol shows up, it expands to cover the reel for that spin.
Walking wild: This wild will ‘walk’ reel by reel around the reels, on each consecutive spin. ie. Halloween Jack online slot.
Stacked wild: These are standard wilds that spin on the reels in stacks of 3 symbols high or more, sometimes landing to cover the reel, sometimes only landing to cover part of the reel, or not at all. ie. Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe 10 game.
Spreading wild: This occurs when a wild appears on the screen and spreads to encompass multiple symbols around it, such as Mr Green Moonlight by NetEnt.
Sticky wilds: These are wilds that stay on screen, in the exact same position, for more than one spin. ie. Dead or Alive 2 slot.
The different types of wild symbols often depend on individual mobile casino games, and they can also have more than one feature. So you can get sticky wild reels for example.
Scatter symbols are often a very exciting feature when playing online slots, as they pop up randomly on the reels of the game you are playing and give you a win, regardless of where they are positioned or if they are even on a payline.
This is why it's called scatter. They pay regardless of where they are ‘scattered’ around the reels.
More importantly, they are often used to unlock special bonus rounds; much traditionally free spins. Ie. you get to spin the machine for free for a certain amount of spins. (More on those in a second) Check out ???? ??? ???? ????? ??.
Symbols for Multipliers When you play slots and come across a multiplier bonus, this allows players to double, triple and in some case increase their winnings by 10x or more.
