Wild Symbol
A special symbol in a slot game that can substitute for most other symbols to help form a winning combination.
The Wild Symbol acts like the “joker” in a deck of cards. Its main function is to substitute for other regular symbols on a payline, thereby increasing the chances of hitting a winning line.
For example, if you land two matching symbols on a payline with a wild next to them, the wild will act as the third symbol and complete the win. Wilds can also come with additional properties, such as multipliers (doubling the win), or become “sticky” or “expanding” during Free Spins rounds. However, a wild symbol typically cannot substitute for a Scatter Symbol.
