I happened to be playing this slot at a local casino yesterday. It's one that if a column of stacked symbols appears, on the very next spin, that same column is replaced with wild symbols. My question is this. On one occasion yesterday, the first four columns were the same stacked symbol, resulting in a 50 to one payback. I didn't think about it, so on the very next spin when I hit repeat bet, the first four columns filled with wilds, and the fifth column happened to be wilds. This resulted in a 500 to one payback. As happy as I was, I wondered if I had thought it through, and changed the denomination to max bet on the second spin, would the wilds still have filled the first four columns?
I am really confused here. Are you saying that if you get stacked in the first column - then you already are guaranteed that the next spin will have wild in the first column? And, even though they are stacked, it the symbols in the next column all all different, how is there any payback? Unless this machine has a payback on just a stack with nothing matching in the 2nd column. As to what may or may not happen if you change the denomination... maybe - but I doubt it highly. I would expect the random number generator is moving along and you could just as easily gotten all un matched symbols on the next spin. Tell us more about that machine. I tried to google it, and could not find it.
Is it Icy Wilds by IGT? If so the wilds will not be there if you choose a different denomination. They have a few of this type of game. Another sort of like this is the Plants vs. Zombie 3D. If you change your bet, the brain levels are different as well as how much plant food is available.
Exactly this for your game and others like it. There is a game called 3-D Aladdin, you earn coins that turn a full reel wild. If you switch denominations, or bet size, you move into a new playfield and it all changes. They arent that dumb!
