Type of play
- Persistent-state / “must-hit” style setup play based on accumulating locked frames, then converting connected frames to wilds via the Wild Spark event (triggered from the selector wheel).
How the advantage works (what you’re exploiting)
- Locked frames build up on the reels over spins.
- When a full Spin symbol lands in the middle reel, it spins the selector wheel. If the wheel lands on Wild Spark, a spark hits a random locked frame and all locked frames connected horizontally/vertically to it turn wild.
- Locked frames also carry into free games and become wild for the duration of the bonus, increasing the value of entering a bonus with many locks.
What to look for (quick floor checklist)
- Count locked frames that are NOT already labeled “Wild.”
- Do not count frames that already say “Wild” (they disappear next spin).
- Prefer clusters that are connected (the game shows glowing borders on connected locks).
- Best setups usually start on/near the first reel and have a path to build a 5-wild payline (paylines can be shaped, not just straight).
- Avoid boards where most locks are concentrated on the right side (harder to form 5-of-a-kind wild lines that pay).
