Greentube Launches Piggy Prizes: Ghost of Gambini for Halloween
Austria.- 21 October 2026 | www.zonadeazar.com Greentube, the digital gaming and entertainment division of NOVOMATIC, has announced the launch of Piggy Prizes: Ghost of Gambini, a new Halloween-themed online slot.
Released on 20 October 2026, the title expands one of the Austrian supplier’s most successful franchises, introducing additional characters, enhanced prize mechanics and a special version of its popular Lock & Spin feature.
The game features 15 independent reels and 40 paylines, combining a haunted mansion setting with mechanics designed to provide additional winning opportunities.
New Features and Characters
The main innovation is Ghost of Gambini, a supernatural character joining the original Gambini and introducing additional prize mechanics.
Key features include:
- Wild symbols: Gambini and his ghost can substitute other symbols to complete winning combinations.
- Locked prizes: coins and jackpots remain chained until a Gambini or Ghost symbol lands on the centre reel.
- Magic Spin: a feature that can stop the centre reel early to reveal a Gambini symbol.
- Magic Rewind: allows the centre reel to move backwards and can reposition other reels to activate locked prizes.
Ghost of Gambini can also introduce additional coins and jackpots while increasing the value of existing coin prizes.
Lock & Spin and Super Lock & Spin
During the base game, Gambini symbols can deposit coins into two piggy banks positioned above the reels.
When a piggy bank reaches capacity, Lock & Spin begins with three spins, increasing to four when both banks fill simultaneously.
The feature introduces different ghost symbols:
- White Ghosts: create Bronze frames that can upgrade to Silver and Gold.
- Gold Ghosts: place Gold frames directly onto the reels.
- Special frames: convert into cash prizes or jackpots when the feature concludes.
The game’s main innovation is Super Lock & Spin, activated when Ghost of Gambini fills a piggy bank.
During this feature, only Gold Ghosts can appear, and every Gold frame awards a jackpot.
A Buy Bonus option is also available in jurisdictions where the feature is permitted.
Executive Comments and Commercial Strategy
Richard Ganster, Director of Games Strategy and Games Portfolio Management at Greentube, highlighted the established following of the Piggy Prizes franchise.
He explained that introducing a second Gambini character increases interaction with the centre reel and creates a progression towards bonus features.
Ganster particularly emphasised Super Lock & Spin, which transforms every Gold frame into a jackpot reward.
Greentube had previously showcased the title at SBC Summit Lisbon and G2E Las Vegas 2026, positioning it as a key release for the final quarter.
Next Steps and Impact
With Piggy Prizes: Ghost of Gambini, Greentube expands its Halloween-themed portfolio while strengthening one of its most recognisable slot series.
The release provides operators with additional content to refresh their gaming catalogues during the final quarter of 2026.
Combining established gameplay mechanics, jackpot features and distinctive visuals, the title reinforces Greentube’s strategy of developing successful franchises through continued innovation.
