A wild always replaces regular symbols, though games handle the details very differently — some carry a multiplier, some spread across a whole reel, some stick in place over several spins, and some show up only inside a feature round. Only the paytable tells you the actual behaviour, since matching wording across two games doesn’t guarantee matching results.
A worked example
A 2x multiplier on the wild doubles any win it helps form, whereas a win missing that wild pays as usual. Reading a paytable requires knowing that the multiplier belongs to whichever combination the wild joined rather than the entire spin — meaning two separate wins in one spin get multiplied together only when the wild sits in both.
The common misreading
People commonly assume a wild will stand in for any symbol. Because scatters and bonus symbols usually sit outside what they can substitute for, coming close to a feature trigger doesn’t count as hitting one. Two scatters with a wild included don’t total three scatters; the true count is two.

Using it in practice
Checking the specific game should replace assumption, since ‘wild’ is a category name rather than a fixed mechanic and is often the one feature separating several popular titles from near-identical siblings. You’ll find it sits more naturally beside what free spins means, terms that tend to cluster together.
Wild symbol is one of many terms scattered throughout this site’s game pages; if a studio keeps the figure behind it unpublished, the relevant page discloses that gap rather than importing a number from a comparison site. You’ll find blank cells in several spec tables on this page as a direct consequence.

FAQ
Picking between games, how much weight should Wild symbol carry?
Checking the specific game should replace assumption, since 'wild' is a category name rather than a fixed mechanic and is often the one feature separating several popular titles from near-identical siblings.
Could a casino take it upon itself to change the Wild symbol?
Not on this site's evidence. When a figure tied to wild symbol comes from the game's own mathematics, that number belongs to the studio, not the operator — and if the studio keeps it unpublished, no third party can confirm it.
