You’ll be asking yourself that question a lot as you wait for those spinning wilds to stop.
All about the directional wilds
At any point during the base game, you’ll get a special icon amongst all the cuban cigars, rum and slightly fuzzy but generally pretty women. That would be the little spinning icon that when it finally comes to rest at the end of the spin, will send wilds all across the five reels, either diagonally, horizontally or vertically.
In any direction.

Havana Cubana Bonus Features
Wilds: Your normal wild is your stereo-typical Latin lady with her hair tight in a bun so tight you can practically see the hair implants. Except you can't as the graphic here as not as sharp as they should be, but still. You get our drift.
Directional Wilds: We mentioned the little spinner symbol that shows up on reels 2, 3 and 4 right? So this little spinner spins at the end of each of the reels spins.
Wherever it lands, any symbols between it and the walls of the game turn to wilds. This is in any direction, from left to right to up, down, and diagonally. The center spinning symbol also turns wild.
This means two things. You'll either be overjoyed in seeing 4 wilds on your screen, helping creating a few 5 of a kind wins in this 40 reel slot, or you'll cry as the spinner hits the wall when it sits on the edge of the reel and gets you no wild at all. Because that happens often enough to crush your budding hopes.
Still, it's exciting almost every time.
Scatters & Free Spins: The free spins are not always the easiest to come by, but when they do, you'll be grateful for them.
You'll need three 'free spin' symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 to get a measly 5 free spins. But don't despair, these come with a twist as you are guaranteed to get the directional spinning symbol in the center reel on every one of those five spins. Better yet, any wilds that are created using the directional wild stay on the screen until the Havana Cubana bonus games end.
What it means is that you could get a whole load of nothing or... your could get a whole screen full of five of a kind wilds, five times in a row.
Think about that for a moment and tell us that's not exciting.
