DEGEN Studios has launched Carnival of Freaks, a new 50-line slot released on 22 October 2026 with a stated maximum win of 20,000x. The studio described a set of layered mechanics — Body Bags, Freak Coins, Tips Buckets, Cannons, Mallets and a Bloodbath feature — plus Buy Bonus options and a multi-tier Free Spins system.
Core mechanics and collections
Body Bags can open to reveal symbols, Wild Freakshow Posters or Freak Coins. Tips Buckets collect coin values across the 5x6 grid; DEGEN Studios says landing multiple Buckets lets collections build on each other and clear spaces for further spins. Cannons add coin spaces, Mallets increase the Global Multiplier by 1x, and Free Spins Tickets add additional spins.
Free Spins, modifiers and Bloodbath
The Free Spins feature is triggered by Scatter combinations: three Scatters award "Cheap Thrills" (eight spins), four Scatters open "Main Attraction" (10 spins), and five Scatters unlock "Full Freak Mode" (12 spins) with a 4x Global Multiplier. The studio detailed a Bloodbath feature that fills the entire 5x6 grid with Freak Coins, Scatters, Tips Buckets and Mallets, then applies the Global Multiplier to the final result.
Purchase and bonus options
Buy Bonus options are available for direct entry to Cheap Thrills and Main Attraction, and the "Tempt Fate" option awards either a random Free Spins bonus or the Bloodbath. DEGEN Studios presented these as alternate routes for players to access the title's higher-potential mechanics.
"Carnival of Freaks is the sort of place you probably shouldn't visit, but once you're inside, you'll want to see what the next attraction has in store," said Danny Gordon, Head of Studio at DEGEN Studios. "The fun is in how everything builds. Freak Coins reveal prizes, Tips Buckets start collecting them, Cannons open up more spaces and Mallets keep pushing the multiplier higher. And just when you think you've seen the worst of it, there's Full Freak Mode and Bloodbath waiting for you."
