Full Explanation
Walking wilds are wild symbols that shift one position (usually left) with each spin until they walk off the reels entirely. Each movement awards a free re-spin. If another walking wild lands while one is still active, both continue walking and generating re-spins. This mechanic can create extended sequences of free play.
💡 Example
Walking wild on reel 5 moves left each spin → reel 4, reel 3, reel 2, reel 1, then falls off. 5 free re-spins total.
