BingoPlus Sticky Wild: How Long It Stays and What It Does
A sticky wild is a wild symbol that stays in its position for more than one spin, often for a set number of spins or for a whole free-spins round, helping every spin it stays for.
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| BingoPlus Hit Frequency | Hit frequency is the share of spins that return any win at all, of any size. |
| BingoPlus Hold and Spin | In a hold and spin round, landing enough special symbols, usually coins or orbs carrying values, starts a set of respins. |
| BingoPlus Penny Slots | Penny slots are slots with a small coin value, but the total bet per spin is the coin value multiplied by the lines or ways played and any bet multiplier. |
| BingoPlus Tumble Feature | A tumble feature removes the symbols of a winning combination and drops new symbols into the gaps, all on the same paid spin. |
A sticky wild is the wild that refuses to leave. An ordinary wild symbol substitutes for other symbols on one spin and is gone; a sticky one keeps its position for several spins, often for the whole of a free-spins round, and helps every spin it stays for. The longer it stays, and the more of them gather, the bigger the feature can get.
It is one of the features explained on the slot selection pillar for BingoPlus.
What a wild does, and what sticky adds
A wild symbol stands in for other symbols to complete a win. Sticky adds time.
- A wild lands. It completes any win it can on that spin.
- It sticks. Instead of leaving, it stays in place.
- The next spins play around it, using it again each time.
- It leaves when its stated number of spins or the feature ends.
| Wild type | How long it stays | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Standard wild | One spin | One position |
| Sticky wild | Several spins or a whole feature | One position |
| Expanding wild | One spin | A whole reel |
| Walking wild | Moves one position per spin | One position |
The Dog House and its sticky free spins
The Dog House from Pragmatic Play is the title among those covered here that lists sticky wilds. In its free spins, the multiplier wilds, worth 2x or 3x and landing on reels 2 to 4 only, stay in place for the rest of the round. How several multiplier wilds on one line combine is set out in the game’s paytable; the studio lists the slot’s maximum win at 6,750x. The studio’s other slots are on the Pragmatic Play slots hub.
Reading a sticky wild in a paytable
Look for four details before you play a title that has them.
- Where they land. Some can only appear on certain reels.
- How long they stay. A spin count or the length of a feature.
- Whether they carry multipliers. And whether multipliers combine.
- When they appear. Base game, free spins only, or both.
Sticky wilds and how a session feels
Sticky wilds make the start of a feature quiet and the end loud: a few early wilds rarely pay much, but as they gather, every spin uses all of them. That pattern means more of the slot’s value sits in rare, long features, which shows up as higher volatility and fewer big hits; the page on what hit frequency measures explains the trade-off. A tumble feature spreads wins differently, inside a single spin rather than across many.
Free spins ended with sticky wilds that never lined up.
Sticky wilds pay only when they sit on the same line or ways as matching symbols. Placement is random; the feature’s value comes from the rounds where they gather.
FAQ
How long does a sticky wild stay?
It depends on the game: a set number of spins, until a feature ends, or for the whole free-spins round. The paytable says which.
Is a sticky wild the same as an expanding wild?
No. An expanding wild grows to cover a whole reel for one spin; a sticky wild keeps its spot across spins. Some games combine the two.
Which slot on this site has sticky wilds?
The Dog House from Pragmatic Play lists sticky wilds during its free spins.
