Greentube, the digital gaming and entertainment division of Novomatic, has launched Piggy Prizes: Ghost of Gambini, a Halloween version of its Piggy Prizes slot family.

The game moves the series to a haunted mansion and introduces a second Gambini character. This ghostly figure fills the series’ piggy pots and opens a bonus round in which every prize is a jackpot.

How the game plays

In the base game, coin and pot symbols appear chained and padlocked on the reels. They are released and paid when they land together with a Gambini or Ghost symbol on the centre reel, and both of those symbols also act as wilds. The Ghost of Gambini adds fresh coins and jackpots to the reels and raises the value of any coin it lands on.

Two further features target the centre reel. Magic Spin can stop it first with a Gambini in view, while Magic Rewind can turn it back to land a Gambini and rewind non-winning reels onto locked jackpot symbols.

  • Each centre-reel Gambini adds a coin to one or both piggy pots
  • A full pot pops and starts Lock & Spin with three spins, or four if both pigs pop together
  • White Ghosts place Bronze frames that can upgrade to Silver and Gold; Gold Ghosts place Gold frames straight away
  • All frames turn into cash prizes or jackpots when the feature ends
  • Super Lock & Spin starts when the Ghost of Gambini pops a pot; only Gold Ghosts land and each Gold frame pays a jackpot

What Greentube said

Richard Ganster, director of games strategy and games portfolio management at Greentube, said the design keeps attention on one part of the screen. “Ghost of Gambini gives those players a reason to watch the centre reel on every spin,” he said.

He added that the jackpot round gives the feature “a clear top prize to chase” and that “the Halloween setting makes it a strong title for operators heading into Q4.”
