Stacked Symbols

Online casino pokies games come in many varieties, differentiated by the symbols found in the games and the ways in which those symbols can influence gameplay. There are Expanding Wilds, Cascading symbols and others that differ not just in appearance according to the theme of the game, but also in what they are programmed to do. One such online pokies symbol is the Stacked symbol. This potentially lucrative symbol is an entire game mechanic all on its own; read on to find out how stacked symbols can boost gameplay in pokies games at Wildz Casino.

What are stacked symbols?

Stacked Symbols are symbols which appear in stacks on the reels. They take up more space on the reels and increase the odds of aligning up a winning combination. They may contain as few as two and as many as ten symbols. Depending on where a stacked symbol lands on a reel, it can fully or partially cover all visible rows. Some titles feature stacked symbols as their default configuration while others feature stacked symbols in bonus games. The nature of play with a game featuring stacked symbols means that the player can land several stacked symbols, increasing the winning potential of a round.

Grid Play games can also feature symbols appearing in stacks although these generally fall from above the playing area rather than spinning on reels. These cascading symbols-styled games often feature respin options where winning combinations are cleared from the board and new symbols fall from above to fill the voids. Multiple respins can often be won and many titles feature progressive multipliers in conjunction with the respins. It’s not unusual for Free Spin rounds to result from these combinations too, with potentially lucrative wins building up.

Pokies games are based on chance, with Random Number Generators producing the results that players wait to see, in the hope that good fortune will shine on them.
