Full Explanation
Sticky wilds are wild symbols that lock in place for a set number of spins, remaining on the reels while other symbols change. This creates increasing win potential as more sticky wilds accumulate. They're most commonly found during free spin bonus rounds. The combination of sticky wilds and re-spins can lead to screens filled with wilds.
💡 Example
During free spins, each wild that lands stays sticky. By spin 10, you have 6 sticky wilds locked on the reels.
