Sticky Wilds
Scatter symbols exclusively land on reels 2, 3, and 4. When 3 Scatter symbols align on these reels, Raid Spins are triggered. Aligning bonus symbols on the same row as 3 Scatter symbols activates Showdown Spins. Bonus symbols can only appear on reels 1 and 5 but may also emerge in the middle reels during a Mexican Standoff.
Initiating a Mexican Standoff requires bonus symbols to land on reels 1 and 5 of the same row. This triggers a respin for that row while disabling the others. Each bonus symbol turns into a sticky Wild, offering a 6x multiplier. During a Mexican Standoff, if a Bounty Hunter Wild appears, it also becomes a sticky Wild with a 6x multiplier. All sticky Wild multipliers are applied cumulatively. Landing bonus symbols during a Mexican Standoff awards additional respins, acting as Wilds for subsequent respins and remaining sticky until the feature concludes.
During Raid Spins, the reel layout expands to a 4x5 area in the center, accommodating thugs and bosses. Additionally, 5-row high reels flank the left and right sides, with a 4-reel row at the bottom, each guarded by a Hunter. The feature begins with 3 spins and resets to 3 whenever a thug or boss lands in the central reel area.
In Showdown Spins, the reel area enlarges to 5x5, centered around thugs and a formidable Hard Honcho Boss. Surrounding the Hard Honcho Boss in a diamond formation are 12 thugs, 8 directly adjacent and 4 positioned on the outer edges. Similar to Raid Spins, the feature begins with 3 spins and resets with each thug landing in the central reel area. The Hard Honcho Boss starts with a 6x coin value and alternates behavior akin to the Raid Spins bosses with each spin. Upon collecting the Hard Honcho Boss, new thugs fill the empty positions of the diamond formation for the subsequent spin.

About Sticky Wilds Games
Sticky Wilds is a casino game mechanic that is often found in online slot machines and video slot games. It is a variation of the traditional wild symbol, where wild symbols "stick" to the reels for a certain number of spins, increasing the chances of hitting winning combinations.
When a player hits a Sticky Wild symbol, it will remain in place on the reels for a certain number of spins, often determined by the game or during a bonus round. This allows for more opportunities to hit winning combinations as the Sticky Wild can substitute for other symbols on the reels. Some games also have multipliers or other bonuses that are associated with the Sticky Wilds, making them even more valuable.
This game mechanic can be a great way to increase the chances of hitting winning combinations and adding an extra layer of excitement to the game. It is a popular feature in online slot games and has been used by many game providers. Some of the most popular slot games with Sticky Wilds feature are "Dead or Alive" by NetEnt, and "Wild Duel" by Peter & Sons.
