Additive wilds become bonus anchors

Eight or more identical pay symbols anywhere on the 5 x 5 board form a win. Regular combinations use symbol counts rather than paylines, while Wilds substitute for pay symbols except the Scatters that award free spins.

A Wild can carry a random multiplier up to x5. When several multiplier Wilds participate in one symbol win, their values are added and the combined amount modifies that qualifying Pays Anywhere award.

Three or more Scatters open the bonus, with five awarding up to fifteen free spins. Every Wild landing during the feature remains fixed for later spins, while direct purchase replaces trigger waiting with concentrated entry cost.

How sticky wild coverage develops

  • Pay count: Eight matching symbols can win across unrestricted grid positions.
  • Wild value: Each multiplier Wild can contribute up to x5.
  • Addition: Several participating Wild values combine on one award.
  • Sticky Wilds: Bonus landings remain available for subsequent symbol counts.
  • Coverage: Fixed substitutes can support several later symbol groups.
  • Buy entry: Direct access concentrates cost around persistent-Wild outcomes.

Sticky coverage under symbol counts

Base-game value depends on matching symbol counts reinforced by any multiplier Wilds included in the result. A displayed Wild value does not pay alone, and additive values only matter when the surrounding symbols satisfy the eight-symbol requirement.

Free spins concentrate further potential around Wild positions that remain fixed after landing. Early sticky Wilds can affect more later grids, but their locations still need compatible pay symbols before the accumulated coverage produces another qualifying award.

The x12,000 ceiling sets the round limit, while Bonus Buy changes access timing rather than symbol requirements. High volatility and persistent Wilds can produce uneven outcomes, but the rules provide no guaranteed route to the maximum.

Player fit and limitations

  • May suit: Players tracking additive Wild multipliers on grids.
  • May suit: Players who prefer persistent bonus positions.
  • May not: Players expecting sticky Wilds to pay independently.
  • May not: Players avoiding direct feature-entry stake concentration.

FAQ

When are several Wild multipliers added together?
 

They combine only when the Wilds participate in the same symbol win. Unused displayed values do not alter the result.

Do base-game Wilds remain for another spin?
 

No. Persistence applies to Wilds landing during the free-spin feature, not to ordinary base results.

How many symbols are needed beside a Wild?
 

The completed result must contain at least eight matching pay symbols, including any valid Wild substitutions.

What makes Wild Bison Charge positions persistent?
 

Any Wild landing during free spins stays on its cell. It remains available for all later bonus grids.
