All about Wild Symbols in Online Slot Games



Ever since slot machines were available for online play in the 1990s, slot developers always strived to achieve higher standards in the quality of the goods and services they provided. In order to get ahead of the competition, gaming software providers introduced the concept of a wild symbol. This new symbol was invented so that it would become a substitute for all other symbols in that certain slot game, in order to make a winning combination.
Once animations were introduced, slot games became even more fascinating than before. At first, the wild symbol acted as a multiplier, which doubled or even tripled the payouts, or, sometimes, it would be even greater. Another form of wild symbol is the stacked wild, which appears as several symbols organized in stacks, this way giving a better payout.
The expanding wild is also very popular among top quality slot game developers. At first, this symbol appears on a single reel and eventually expands on the entire reel. Many slot developers use a symbol which depicts a face and, after it expands, it forms an entire figure. Some gaming providers infuse several features in the wild symbol, every software developer having his own schemes and nomenclatures.
