Wilds take the place of regular symbols, though how they behave varies sharply between games, with some carrying a multiplier, some expanding across a reel, some sticking in place through several spins, and some showing up only in a feature round. Two games can use the same word and act completely differently, so check the paytable, which states which behaviour applies.

Using it in practice

Before you assume, read what the wild does in that specific game. ‘Wild’ names a category, not a fixed mechanic, and across several popular titles it is the only feature that separates them from near-identical siblings. Next to what free spins means, it lands more easily, as those tend to appear in the same set of terms.

Game pages across this site use terms such as Wild symbol, and when a studio publishes no figure behind one, the page states that openly instead of borrowing a number from a comparison site. Several spec tables on this site show empty cells for exactly that reason.

A worked example

Take a title whose wild has a 2x multiplier: wins that the wild completes pay double, and wins it had no part in pay normally. When reading a paytable, remember the multiplier belongs to the combination the wild joined rather than the spin, meaning two separate wins on a single spin are both multiplied only if the wild is part of both.

The common misreading

There is a common belief that wilds can replace anything. They generally will not replace scatters or bonus symbols, and that is exactly why a near-miss on a feature trigger is still a miss. If a grid shows two scatters and a wild, you have two scatters rather than three.

A wild is no bonus symbol, and it is no scatter either. A wild is also no guarantee of a win, because one landing on a reel with no matching symbols next to it completes nothing, and that is the commonest reason a spin that looked promising paid nothing.
