The types of special wilds and why they power up bonus rounds.
Beyond the standard wild, slots use variants: a sticky wild stays in place for several spins, an expanding wild fills a whole reel, a walking wild shifts across the screen, and a multiplier wild multiplies the win. These mechanics are most often active in free spins and define a large share of a slot's potential. Understanding wild types helps you judge how "explosive" a bonus round can be.
