How it plays
12 rules screens from the game
Greedy Pumpking plays on a honeycomb of 45 hexagonal cells, seven columns of six and seven. Five or more matching sweets that touch form a cluster, paid by its size from 5 up to 18 or more, and the swirl lollipop tops the table at 200x the bet for 18+. A paid cluster clears every sweet of that kind from the grid, copies outside the cluster included, and fresh sweets refill the empty cells until nothing else connects.
Winning clusters leave pumpkin Multiplier Wilds at x1, and 4,222 of them appeared in base spins of the series. A cluster that holds pumpkins is multiplied by their values, each of those pumpkins then gains +1, and when several shared the win they merge into one pumpkin worth the product of the new values, so an x3 and an x5 pay x15 and then become x4 times x6, x24. After paying, a pumpkin steps to a free neighbouring cell; in the base game it disappears once the spin's drops run out.
Three BONUS cauldrons on a base spin open the Bonus Game with 8 free spins, and any pumpkin still on the grid goes with them. There the Wilds are sticky, shift one cell as every new free spin begins and keep growing and merging, while every cauldron that lands adds a spin, up to three per spin.
This is the 94% build, listed at 94.15% RTP, with bets between EUR 0.10 and EUR 100 and a round cap of 10,000x the bet. BUY FEATURE offers the Bonus Game for 80x at 94.43% RTP or the Sweeter Bonus Game for 200x, whose Wilds open at x2, x3 or x5; BET+ sells boosted modes on the base spin as well, and only the 80x Bonus Game was bought in the test.

Verdict
Wilds that compound within a spin
A EUR 0.50 cluster on the first screen of round 880 left one x1 pumpkin, and eight screens later merges had lifted that Wild to x244, enough to turn a five-symbol RIP chocolate bar cluster worth EUR 0.50 into EUR 122.00. The round paid 261.6x, the best of the series without free spins, and ended holding an x490 pumpkin that never met another win. Base-game pumpkins live only through the drops of their own spin, and 914 of the 10,000 rounds paid any cluster at x2 or more.
Inside free spins the pumpkins stay, and their size set the money: 63 of the 544 cluster wins in natural bonuses were multiplied x20 or more and paid 53.70% of the free spins money, while plain x1 wins paid 3.72%. Round 4974, the best natural bonus at 398.5x, brought an x4 in from its trigger spin, kept it through four empty free spins, merged it into x42 on free spin 6 and was paying at x100 on the last one.
Among the 50 tickets bought at 80x, eleven applied a multiplier of x50 or more at some point, and ten of those eleven returned at least the EUR 80 price; of the 39 that never reached x50, seven did. Those eleven held 57.10% of all purchase money, while the median ticket stopped at 0.464x, EUR 37.15.
- Round 880 built its own multiplier inside one base spin, from x1 to x244, and paid 261.6x without free spins
- Wins multiplied x20 or more in natural bonuses brought 53.70% of the free spins money
- Ten of the 11 purchases that applied x50 or more returned the EUR 80 price or better
- Twenty of 34 natural bonuses opened with a pumpkin carried over from the trigger spin
- Base pumpkins vanish when the spin ends, so round 880 finished on an x490 that never paid
- Only seven of the 39 purchases that stayed below x50 paid back EUR 80
- Plain x1 wins made up 199 of 544 natural free spins wins and paid EUR 102.00
- One natural bonus per 294 rounds was the average pace of the series

FAQ
7 questions · answered from the log
Why does a pumpkin Wild in Greedy Pumpking keep getting bigger?
Each pumpkin starts at x1 and gains +1 after every win it is part of; several pumpkins in one win merge into a single one worth the product of their new values. In round 4974 an x6, an x2 and an x1 paid a 12-symbol cluster at x12 and then became x7, x3 and x2, which merged into x42.
Do the pumpkins stay on the board from one base game spin to the next?
No. A base-game pumpkin lasts only through the drops of the spin that made it, and none of the 10,000 ordinary rounds began with a Wild on the grid. In free spins the pumpkins are sticky and move one cell as each new spin begins.
Which multiplier was the highest one Greedy Pumpking applied in the test?
x244, in base round 880, on a five-symbol RIP chocolate bar cluster worth EUR 0.50 at x1, which paid EUR 122.00. Free spins peaked lower, at x212 in natural bonus 2733 and x166 in a bought one.
With a listed 94.15% RTP, how did the Greedy Pumpking demo end up at 89.78%?
Its 10,000 ordinary rounds at a EUR 1.00 stake gave back 89.78%. For this sample's mean the approximate 95% confidence band is 75.11% to 104.46%, wide enough to contain the listed 94.15%. Single rounds move it a lot: without the best one, natural bonus 4974 at 398.5x, the other 9,999 rounds returned 85.81%.
Across fifty 80x Bonus Game buys, did Greedy Pumpking return the money?
Yes, EUR 4,355.40 came back on EUR 4,000 staked, 108.885%, yet 33 of the 50 tickets paid less than their price. The money sat with the eleven tickets that applied x50 or more, which held 57.10% of it, so a handful of purchases set the total.
Without the buy, when do Greedy Pumpking free spins show up, and how many are awarded?
Natural bonuses came 34 times in 10,000 rounds, about one per 294 rounds. Every one starts with 8 free spins; 16 of the 34 stayed at 8 and the longest two ran to 12.
What happens if a pumpkin is still on the grid when Greedy Pumpking free spins begin?
It goes into the bonus and stays there as a sticky Wild. Twenty of the 34 natural bonuses opened that way and averaged 94.340x the stake, against 67.221x for the 14 that started without one; none of the 50 bought bonuses had a pumpkin at the start.
