Wild Symbols in House of Fun

What a Wild Symbol Does

A wild symbol acts as a stand-in for almost any other symbol on the reels. If you are one symbol short of a winning combination, a wild landing in the right place completes it for you. For example, if you need three cherry symbols across a payline and land two cherries plus a wild, the wild counts as the third cherry and you win.

Types of Wild Symbols in HOF

Not all wilds are the same. Different machines in House of Fun use different wild mechanics.

  • Standard wilds: Substitute for one symbol on one reel. The most common type.
  • Expanding wilds: When a wild lands on a reel, it expands to cover the entire reel. This dramatically increases your chances of winning on that spin.
  • Sticky wilds: Stay in place for multiple spins instead of disappearing after one. Very valuable during free spins rounds.
  • Multiplier wilds: Substitute for symbols AND multiply the payout when they are part of a winning combination.

Wilds During Free Spins

Free spins rounds are where wild symbols do their best work. Most HOF machines that have free spins also have enhanced wild mechanics during those rounds. Sticky wilds that appear during free spins stay on the reels for all remaining spins, which can lead to very large payouts when multiple wilds stack up.

Which Machines Have the Best Wilds

Look at the paytable or feature description before choosing a machine. Machines with expanding or multiplier wilds tend to produce bigger wins when wilds hit, even if they appear less frequently. Standard wild machines pay out more modestly but more often. Your preference depends on whether you would rather have frequent small wins or less frequent large ones.

Do Wilds Substitute for All Symbols

Usually, wilds substitute for all symbols except scatters and bonus symbols. Scatters trigger their own features and cannot be replaced by wilds. Check the individual machine’s paytable for any exceptions since some machines have symbol restrictions on their wilds.
