game launches
Greentube adds Piggy Prizes Railroad Rumble to its slot franchise
Greentube, NOVOMATIC’s Interactive division, has launched Piggy Prizes
Railroad Rumble
, the latest entry in its Piggy Prizes
slot series.
Piggy Prizes
Railroad Rumble
runs on a 5×3 grid and centres on coin and piggy pot symbols that can be collected and enhanced when the cowboy lands on the centre reel. Greentube said the cowboy acts as a wild and can trigger coin drops that feed piggy pots, which can award Free Games.
The release adds a Gold Train feature that can add and boost coin values and contribute to filling the piggy pots. Greentube said reaching the pots’ limit can trigger Super Free Games, while Free Games keep the cowboy locked on the centre reel and Super Free Games keep the Gold Train sticky on the centre reel.
The game also includes Magic Spin and Magic Rewind modifiers. Greentube said Magic Spins can randomly lock the cowboy or Gold Train on the centre reel, while Magic Rewind gives players another chance to land symbols or jackpots. A Bonus Buy option is available in the base game, which triggers the bonus round once activated.
Richard Ganster, Director of Games Strategy and Games Portfolio Management at Greentube, said: “Piggy Prizes
has become one of our standout series because of its ability to evolve while staying true to the core mechanics players enjoy. With Piggy Prizes
Railroad Rumble
, we’ve introduced a more dynamic setup and layered feature set that enhances both engagement and replayability.
“The combination of familiar mechanics with new modifiers allows us to keep the experience fresh for existing fans while also attracting new players to the franchise.”
