About Zombie Carnival

Released in October 2024, Zombie Carnival is one of the flagship Halloween slots in the Pragmatic Play portfolio. Pragmatic releases several Halloween titles each year (Big Bass Halloween, Big Bass Halloween 2, Cult, Great Ghosts, Zombie Carnival) - Zombie Carnival stands out with its haunted funfair setting featuring zombie clowns, ghosts, and abandoned rides. The format is a 5x4 grid with 20 paylines, RTP 96.5% in the official version. High volatility. Max win 5,000x the stake. The visual world is a premium Halloween funfair: an abandoned Ferris wheel, rusted rides, torn circus tents, terrifying zombie clowns, and floating luminous ghosts. The palette leans purple-green-orange with a hazy, eerie atmosphere. Symbols include the premium zombie clown, ghosts, pumpkins, horror masks, and abandoned plush toys. Signature mechanics: Sticky Wilds (Zombie wilds collected during free spins stay sticky for the rest of the bonus), Multipliers of x2/x3 (each sticky wild can carry an x2 or x3 multiplier), and Free Spins of 10 rounds (triggered by 3+ Carnival Pumpkin scatters). Bonus buy is available at 100x the stake (banned in the UK). Zombie Carnival is offered at online casinos that carry the Pragmatic Play catalog. Engagement and promotions peak in October-November (Halloween falls on October 31), with reduced distribution outside the autumn season at some operators. For Halloween fans looking for a distinctive haunted-funfair setting, Zombie Carnival is a strong seasonal pick. Also worth comparing: Big Bass Halloween 2 (a Halloween-skinned Big Bass entry), Cult (another Pragmatic mystery/gothic slot), and Great Ghosts (a Halloween Pay Anywhere title from 2026).
