Sticky Reels 101

When a reel sticks in place and others continue to spin, this is known as a Sticky Reel. This may take place under many different conditions, according to each game’s design and gameplay. In a game like Starburst, a Wild symbol on the centre reel will expand and that reel will remain locked in place for a respin. In other games, a sticky reel may be featured as a free spins modifier locking in place for every free spin.

To recap: one or more reels carry over to the next spin and remain in place while all other reels spin as they do in a typical round. The round being played influences the nature of the sticky reel.

Some other Grid Play games feature symbols appearing in stacks that 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. Free Spin rounds may result from these combinations too, with potentially lucrative wins building up. There’s almost no limit to the inventive nature of slots designers.
