The Sliding Reel Feature is what sets True Wild apart from other Western-themed slots. This innovative mechanic, triggered by Sheriff Star symbols, creates expanded winning opportunities through a unique respin system. Understanding how it works is key to maximizing your True Wild experience.
How It Works
The Sliding Reel feature activates when 6 or more Sheriff Star symbols land anywhere on the reels during a single spin. When triggered:
- All regular symbols disappear from the reels
- Sheriff Stars lock in their positions and display their credit values
- The remaining reel positions become available for new symbols
- You receive 3 respins to land additional Sheriff Stars
The Respin System
Respin Rules
- Starting Respins: The feature begins with 3 respins
- Respin Reset: Each time a new Sheriff Star lands, the respin counter resets to 3
- Feature End: The feature ends when no new Sheriff Stars appear during 3 consecutive respins
- Locked Symbols: All Sheriff Stars remain locked until the feature concludes
Sheriff Star Values
Each Sheriff Star that lands during the Sliding Reel feature displays a credit value. These values are added together when the feature ends to determine your total bonus payout.
The credit values shown on Sheriff Stars are multiplied by your current bet level, meaning higher bets result in proportionally larger Sheriff Star values.
Value Calculation
Total Sliding Reel Win = Sum of all Sheriff Star credit values × Bet multiplier
