Greedy Pumpking Slot Review

Thunderkick has Greedy Pumpking listed for release on 21 October 2026, just in time for Halloween, and it's a cluster-pays slot that really leans into one big feature. It plays on a cascading hexagonal grid, but the real star of the show is the roaming wild mechanic. Instead of just adding together when they meet, these wilds multiply each other. It's a small tweak on paper, but it completely changes the vibe of the game.

You need three cauldrons to trigger the free spins naturally, but if you're the impatient type, there are plenty of buy-in options. The standard bonus costs 80x your bet. If you want to spice things up, the 200x Sweeter Bonus Game ensures every new wild starts at x2, x3, or x5 instead of a basic x1.

If you prefer grinding the base game, the BET+ modes Bonus Boost and Bonus Boost Plus raise your bonus chances (costing 1.3x or 2.5x your bet), plus Sweeter Multipliers, a heavy 5x mode that gives you those boosted starting wilds on every single base spin.

Once you're in the bonus, things get really interesting. Wilds created by winning clusters become sticky and roam one space per spin. Every time a wild is part of a win, its multiplier goes up by one. But the magic happens when two wilds share a winning cluster: they gain their +1, and then they multiply each other to merge into one super-pumpkin.

To see how this played out, I bought the 200x Sweeter Bonus Game. It ended up paying out decently, returning about 2.2x what I paid, but it perfectly highlighted how volatile and sometimes frustrating this game can be.

Early on, I had a wild stuck in the corner quietly growing to x20 on wins it was barely part of. Then, late in the round, an x66 and an x5 wild finally linked up in a 10-candy cluster. They paid out a massive 330x, added their points, and merged into a monstrous x402 wild. For the last two spins, that giant x402 wild just wandered around the board, touching nothing and paying absolutely zero. It's thrilling to build a multiplier that big, but definitely a heartbreaker when it goes to waste.

Thunderkick uses the exact same 45-cell hex board for Shark Park, due on 13 November 2026, about three weeks after this one. They share a board, but they play very differently. Shark Park has a slightly lower RTP (94.14% vs Greedy Pumpking's 94.15%) and different buy features, but the biggest difference is the math. Shark Park's wilds start bigger but only add together. It gives you a faster start but a tamer finish. Greedy Pumpking forces you to build from x1, but that multiplying merge lets a single wild climb much further.

That multiplying feature really makes Greedy Pumpking stand out in a crowded market. Games like Pragmatic's Snow Party, Hacksaw's Demonic Dolls (due on 6 October 2026), and Pragmatic's Sugar Rush all rely on adding multipliers together. (Plus, Sugar Rush caps at a 5,000x max win, whereas this hits 10,000x).

Greedy Pumpking is a high-risk, high-reward game. You're basically trying to build a monster multiplier and praying it actually steps into a winning cluster before your spins run out. It can be incredibly frustrating when the wilds don't line up, but when they do, the potential is huge.
