Sticky Wilds
Captains of the Coast is a 5x4, pirate-themed slot that is bursting with precious features. Stay on the lookout for the Locked Frames that are added to a reel position when a Wild lands. When 4 Locked Frames appear on the same reel, the entire reel transforms into a Sticky Expanded Wild, and 3 Sticky Expanded Wild Respins take place. Plus, whenever another Wild lands, it resets the Respins. Enjoy some serious loot when 3+ Scatters land and trigger 12 Free Spins with guaranteed Sticky Expanded Wild Respins, and random multipliers up to 8x.
The FREE SPINS round unfolds in two phases. Landing 3, 4, or 5 WILD symbols on a single base game spin triggers the FREE SPINS feature, granting a random number of free spins as follows:
3 WILDs: 5, 6, 7, or 8 free spins awarded randomly. 5 WILDs: 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 free spins awarded randomly.
During the initial stage, the WILD symbols that triggered the feature leave marks on their respective cells. Each subsequent WILD symbol that lands also marks its cell, with each hit in an already marked cell upgrading the marking's value, up to 5 times.
Landing 3, 4, or 5 WILD symbols on a single free spin during the round reactivates the feature, initiating the second stage after all free spins from the first stage conclude. At the start of the second stage, 2, 3, 4, or 5 additional free spins are randomly awarded.
These are the STICKY WILD symbols, exclusive to the second stage of the FREE SPINS round, substituting for all symbols except the original WILD symbol.
All markings from the first stage morph into WILD symbols bearing multipliers based on their original marking levels, persisting on the screen throughout the second stage. These multipliers apply to all winning combinations passing through them. If multiple WILDS contribute to the same winning combination, their multipliers accumulate.
The might of Jolly Roger won't disappoint our fearless trio or you – its interlocked bones within the slot signify a multiplier accompanying every appearance of a Wild symbol (either x2 or x3). Navigate in the right direction with the Scatter compass, guiding you to a round of Free Spins triggered by 3 or more Scatter symbols. The captain, steering the ship's wheel, must exert maximum effort to determine the number of Free Spins in the upcoming round.

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.
