A persistent wild with a counter that decreases each time it's part of a win, staying on the grid until the count reaches zero.

Countdown Wild is a persistent wild symbol equipped with a numerical counter. Unlike standard wilds that disappear after one spin, this wild remains on the grid as long as its counter is above zero. Each time it participates in a winning combination, the counter decreases by one.

In cascading slots, this allows a single wild to trigger multiple consecutive wins in a single game round, providing significantly more value than a one-time substitute.
