Sticky Wilds
The Gimpier symbol has a unique rule—it can only appear on reel 5. When it does, it transforms into one of three symbols: Kinky Kenneth, Wild, or Kinky Wife. If removed due to an avalanche, the Gimpier symbol returns to its original spot.
Symbols in the special bottom row enter from the right, each gaining an increasing Big Balls multiplier as the spin progresses. These symbols split according to their multiplier when involved in a win. An avalanche is only triggered if a special row symbol contributes to a win, with winning positions filled from the right. Any new symbols added to the special reel inherit the highest existing multiplier.
A special event occurs when Kinky Kenneth and Kinky Wife symbols align on the regular reels. All symbols along the shortest path between them transform into either Wife, Kenneth, or Wild. Wins prior to this transformation are paid first, followed by any additional wins from the Kinky Hookup.
If exactly two Gimp symbols land, the Gimp Transform feature activates. The Gimp symbol morphs into one of several possibilities, including xWays®, xNudge®, Wild, Kinky Kenneth, Kenneth, Kinky Wife, or Wife. Similar to the Gimpier symbol, Gimp symbols return to their original positions after an avalanche.
The xHole feature triggers when the xHole™ symbol lands at the center of the main reel area. It sucks in symbols exclusively from the main reels, then redistributes them randomly in split forms ranging from size 2 to 8. In the case of a xNudge® Wild, its size and win multiplier change before it becomes a regular Wild. Gimp and Gimpier symbols also gain a multiplier based on their split size. However, xHole™ does not affect sticky Wilds, sticky xNudge® Wilds, or Gimp symbols when exactly three are present.
In the base game, landing three Gimp symbols initiates 8 Beefy Spins, during which the Big Balls multiplier remains active. Regular Wilds become sticky during these spins. If a Gimpier symbol appears, the bonus mode upgrades to Beefier Spins and grants an additional spin. If a Gimpier symbol coincides with an active xHole™ during an avalanche, the bonus mode becomes Beefiest Spins and awards two additional spins.
Furthermore, landing three Gimps and one Gimpier symbol triggers 9 Beefier Spins, enhancing the Beefy Spins features with sticky Gimpier symbols and Nudge Wilds. Finally, if three Gimps, one Gimpier, and an active xHole™ all land in the base game, 10 Beefiest Spins are initiated.
The reels are configured in a 4-4-4-4-4 layout across 5 reels, with a Ritual bar gracing the bottom row. As winning combinations emerge, symbols are obliterated, making way for fresh symbols to cascade down. The Ritual Bar stands as a testament to progress, boasting 5 levels of ascension. With each level attained, the Ritual Bar resets, carrying over any surplus accumulations. Progression is fueled by the appearance of Scatter Symbols and winning combinations comprising medium and high-value symbols. Every level achieved not only eliminates the lowest paying symbol but also elevates medium symbols to high-paying status.
Advancing to a new level of the Ritual Bar triggers the bestowal of +2 Candle Spins, up to level 4. Upon ascending to Cursed Spins, +6 Freespins are granted. Prior to ascending to a new level, any potential wins are resolved before progress is made. During Candle Spins, the Ritual Bar operates akin to its function in the base game.
Sticky Wilds find their place exclusively on reels 2 through 5. During Candle Spins and Cursed Spins, the Wilds descend to the bottom of the reel, transforming into sticky Wilds until they contribute to a winning combination or a fresh bet is placed. The acquisition of the Baphomet Rite propels the Ritual Bar instantaneously to level 3, accompanied by the award of +6 Candle Spins. Additionally, three of the lower and medium paying symbols are supplanted by three high paying symbols.
Upon entering Cursed Spins, +6 Freespins are bestowed. Any potential wins must be resolved prior to entering Cursed Spins. The Ritual Bar is retired, paving the way for a 5x5 reel configuration adorned solely with high paying symbols. Each appearance of a Scatter symbol during this phase garners an additional freespin. Opting to purchase Cursed Spins grants a bounty of 10 freespins.
Trawl uncharted waters riddled with hidden riches, the game offers 3 different seascapes to explore in Free Spins. Unearth mystery symbols, wilds, a coin collection mechanic and a special bet feature that increases the chance of landing scatters on the reels, taking win potential to new depths.

Description
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.
