Sticky Wilds
Set against 5×3 reels, the beloved symbols make a comeback featuring diverse breeds of dogs, bones, and collars. To secure a win, these symbols must be landed across the title's 20 paylines. Triggering the excitement, three scatter symbols unlock seven free spins, during which any multiplier wilds that make an appearance are retained throughout the gameplay.
In the exhilarating free spins round, each additional scatter symbol landed is accumulated, requiring three to activate a retrigger, granting up to three extra spins. This retrigger introduces an additional play screen, where all previously held wild multipliers are seamlessly transferred. This captivating process can be repeated, culminating in a total of four distinct game boards in simultaneous play!
The WILD symbol appears exclusively on reels 2, 3, and 4, carrying a random multiplier of 2x or 3x with each spin. This multiplier applies to the winnings of every payline it contributes to. If multiple WILD symbols are part of a payline win, their multipliers are summed together.
Trigger the FREE SPINS round by landing 3 BONUS symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5. 3x BONUS symbols pay 2x the total bet, and the round begins with 7 free spins. The round unfolds across up to 4 separate 3x5 matrices. Initially, only the top left matrix is unlocked. Subsequent matrices are unlocked by landing 3 SCATTER symbols in the following order: top right, bottom left, and finally bottom right. SCATTER symbols only appear on the last unlocked matrix.
Each unlocked matrix introduces its own set of paylines, identical to the first. Winning combinations are formed and paid independently for each matrix. Throughout the round, any WILD symbol landing on the last unlocked matrix remains sticky until the end of the round. Upon unlocking a new matrix, all sticky WILD symbols from the previous matrix are carried over.
In the event that two matrices are unlocked in a single spin, additional free spins are awarded twice, and WILD symbols are duplicated onto both newly unlocked matrices.

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.
