Sticky Symbols is a slot machine game mechanic in which certain symbols are fixed to the reels and remain in place for several spins.
Such mechanics are often used in bonus modes, especially during Free Spins. Pinned symbols continue to participate in the formation of combinations while the bonus mode is in effect.
Sticky Symbols can significantly increase the probability of winning, since pinned symbols remain on the playing field and allow new combinations to be formed with each next rotation.
This mechanic is widely used in modern slot games to increase dynamics and create more intense gameplay.
JackCode develops Sticky Symbols mechanics for slot games, integrating them into bonus systems, mathematical model, and game scenarios.
