    Stacked Wilds

    Multiple wild symbols appearing vertically on a single reel.

    Full Explanation

    Stacked wilds are wild symbols that appear in groups stacked vertically on a reel, potentially covering the entire reel. When a full reel of wilds lands, it can create multiple winning combinations across all paylines simultaneously. Stacked wilds are particularly valuable in high-payline slots where covering an entire reel maximises win potential.

    💡 Example

    Stacked wilds cover all 4 positions on reel 3, creating wins across 15 paylines simultaneously.
