Play’n GO releases Chunky Carlo’s Money Mania, a cartoon mafia grid slot combining cluster pays, persistent LIGHTER progression and a Hold and Win-style BIG HEIST bonus.
24 September 2026 – Play’n GO today releases Chunky Carlo’s Money Mania, a cartoon mafia grid slot that pairs cluster pays gameplay with persistent progression and a Hold and Win-style bonus. The title is available to operators now.
The game plays out across a 5x5 grid in a bold, animated take on crime-world iconography, with its outsized central figure front and centre and gold-chain flourishes running through the artwork. Wins form from four or more adjacent symbols, a clear and readable structure that leaves plenty of room for feature-driven variety. The result is a title that wears its humour openly while carrying genuine mechanical depth beneath the cartoon styling.
Cascades sit at the heart of the gameplay: winning clusters are removed and replaced, opening the door to further combinations within the same round. Running alongside this is a persistent LIGHTER collection system. Three colour-coded meters fill independently across spins, each building towards its own ability, so progress made in one session carries real momentum into the next.
Those abilities give the game its edge. Mob Hit clears the symbols around a chosen position, Magic Money turns a cluster of symbols into Wilds, and Cancel wipes every instance of the most common symbol from the grid. A parallel COIN system adds a further layer, with each coin carrying a multiplier value and the chance to land an Instant Prize.
Collect six or more COIN symbols in a single round and the BIG HEIST begins – a Hold and Win-style bonus where symbols lock in place and respins reset as new ones arrive. TIME BOMB symbols raise the stakes here, multiplying adjacent coin values if the feature ends with no respins remaining.
Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said:
“Chunky Carlo is a character with presence, and the game around him has real structure to match. Persistent meters, targeted abilities and a Hold and Win-style finale give operators a title with clear variety across sessions – and one that stays easy for audiences to read from the very first look.”
