Two different rhythms within slots
Starburst is a NetEnt slot with a space and gem theme. Its expanding Wilds and Respins work around a reel layout. It offers a clear example for understanding how a special symbol changes a familiar display.
Gonzo’s Quest uses Avalanche: winning symbols disappear and new symbols fall into their places. A round can therefore contain several changes to the display. Its adventure theme and changing grid distinguish it from Starburst.
A payline evaluates combinations across defined positions; a Wild may substitute for certain regular symbols. Their exact meaning depends on the game. A longer animation is not evidence of a better return, and earlier results do not determine the next outcome.
Several changes in one round
Symbols continuing to fall do not necessarily mean that a new decision is being made each time. Several display stages can belong to one round. Distinguish the round cost from its final result.
A Respin and a Free Fall are not interchangeable labels. Read the trigger and behaviour for the particular game. The individual game pages explain their respective features in more detail.

Slot questions
What is a Wild?
It substitutes for other symbols under specified rules; do not assume it replaces every special symbol.
Is an avalanche a new wager?
Not necessarily. Winning symbols may be replaced within the same round.
Does a theme determine probability?
No. Gem or adventure imagery does not explain outcome probabilities.
