When a spin pays nothing yet shows at least one wild, every wild freezes in place like a marionette holding a pose, and all the other positions spin once more.
Wilds that hold their pose for one more spin
Held Pose gives a quiet spin a second look. The server notes where each wild landed, keeps those positions exactly as they are and spins every other position a single time.
Any scatters that arrive during that extra spin still count towards free spins. A spin that has already paid something never triggers a Held Pose, and the extra spin happens only once, however it turns out.
A worked example. A wild lands on reel two of a spin that pays nothing. It stays put while the other fourteen positions spin again, and two matching symbols either side of it can now complete a line.
