Regular symbols can be replaced by a wild, though the specifics vary sharply by game: multipliers on some, reel-filling expansion on others, sticky wilds that remain across spins on others still, and wilds limited to feature rounds on the rest. Sharing a word does not mean sharing behaviour across two games; consult the paytable, which states what applies.
A worked example
Where the wild carries a 2x multiplier, the wild-completed win pays double; wins the wild took no part in pay normally. Why this matters for a paytable: the multiplier goes with the combination the wild joined, not with the spin, and so two separate wins from one spin are not both multiplied unless the wild is in each.
Using it in practice
Read up on how the wild works in the specific game before taking anything for granted. ‘Wild’ is a category, not a fixed mechanic, and several popular titles differ from near-identical siblings by that one feature. Hold it next to what free spins means, because a page explaining one almost always explains the rest.
Wild symbol is among the terms repeated across this site’s game pages, and if the studio does not publish the figure behind it, the page says so rather than lifting a number from a comparison site. Blank cells turn up in more than one spec table on this page for exactly that reason.
The common misreading
A wild is commonly thought to take the place of any symbol. As a rule they do not take the place of scatters or bonus symbols, which is the very reason a near-miss on a feature trigger is still a miss. The wild does not turn a grid of two scatters and a wild into three scatters; it is two.
