Wazdan launches Haunted Coins x5000 with 5,000x Grand Jackpot

Wazdan has launched Haunted Coins x5000 as part of its October Cointober campaign, releasing the Halloween-themed instalment on 15 October 2026. The studio set a 5,000x Grand Jackpot for the title, which is won when all cells fill with golden coins in the returning Hold the Jackpot bonus game.

Haunted Coins x5000: how the Grand Jackpot and Hold the Jackpot work

Haunted Coins x5000 keeps the core mechanic from the Coins series while increasing the top prize to 5,000 times the stake in the Hold the Jackpot bonus round. The Hold the Jackpot mechanic returns to the series: when the bonus triggers, players can collect and lock coins on the grid until every cell is occupied by golden coins, at which point the Grand Jackpot pays out.

The title integrates the Grand Jackpot with the game’s bonus progression so the maximum outcome is directly tied to filling every cell during the bonus. This preserves the series’ familiar jackpot hunt but raises the ceiling to a higher fixed multiplier.

Cash Out feature and payout mechanics in base play

Base play includes a new Cash Out feature that introduces a locked-symbol mechanic across random reels. Cash Out labels can appear on random reels and remain fixed for up to 20 spins. Any Bonus symbols that land while Cash Out labels are fixed add their values to an accumulating pool.

When the Cash Out spin count reaches zero, the game selects a payout percentage at random. That percentage can be a value between 10% and 100%, or 150%, or 200%, and it determines the portion of the accumulated value that is paid to the player. The mechanic therefore creates interim accumulation opportunities in base play as well as a variable cash-conversion outcome when the feature completes.

Cash Infinity, multipliers and how they transfer into bonus play

Haunted Coins x5000 includes Cash Infinity symbols in the main game. These symbols carry into the Hold the Jackpot bonus and, once the bonus concludes, award multipliers of up to 10x on the accumulated bonus value. The carryover of Cash Infinity symbols means outcomes achieved in base play can directly enhance the prize potential during the bonus round.

Chance Level options and bonus access

Wazdan has applied its Chance Level mechanic to Haunted Coins x5000 to give players additional routes to the bonus. The Chance Level increases the likelihood of triggering the bonus and is offered in three purchase-like options: 2x, 5x or 10x. Players can decide to raise their Chance Level at the point of play to improve their chances of entering the Hold the Jackpot feature.

This mechanic is consistent with Wazdan’s approach in other recent releases in the Coins family, providing both an organic route to the bonus through normal spins and an accelerated path for players prepared to accept higher stake multipliers to increase trigger probability.

Haunted Coins x5000 inside Cointober and the Coins series rollout

Haunted Coins x5000 is the latest release in Wazdan’s month-long Cointober campaign, which places the supplier’s Coins series at the centre of its autumn product programme. Cointober began on 1 October 2026 with the release of 25 Coins x3000 and will conclude on 3 November 2026 with the release of 36 Coins x3000.

The campaign sequence positions each week of October around staggered Coins launches, with Haunted Coins x5000 timed to capitalise on seasonal player interest. The strategy keeps the franchise visible across the month while offering variations on the Coins formula.

Commercial positioning and Wazdan commentary

Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, described the release as a seasonal extension of the series, highlighting both the thematic direction and the mechanical additions.

"Haunted Coins x5000 brings a fresh flavour to the Coins series, combining a strong seasonal theme with additional pathways to base and bonus game wins through Cash Out and Cash to Infinity," Hyla said. "The Hold the Jackpot round, boosted by an increased Grand Jackpot, keeps the title connected to the wider series, while its launch during Cointober makes it a fitting addition."

Hyla’s comments position the release as both an aesthetic seasonal variant and a feature-rich iteration intended to broaden player engagement within the franchise.

What operators and platform partners should note

Operators integrating Haunted Coins x5000 should expect implementation requirements typical for Wazdan titles in the Coins family: support for the new Cash Out state that persists across up to 20 spins, carryover of Cash Infinity symbols into bonus logic, and configurable Chance Level purchase options at 2x, 5x and 10x. The title’s 5,000x Grand Jackpot is a fixed multiplier outcome tied to the Hold the Jackpot grid completion, which should be reflected in reporting and jackpot telemetry.

Platform vendors will need to ensure session-state persistence and accurate telemetry for the accumulated Bonus symbol values and the randomly selected payout percentage that resolves Cash Out. Those same systems should surface multipliers of up to 10x from Cash Infinity symbols and must log any Chance Level activations for player-accounting and regulatory reporting.

Operators planning promotional activity around Cointober can tie Haunted Coins x5000 to seasonal campaigns and to the broader sequence of Coins releases that began with 25 Coins x3000 on 1 October and end with 36 Coins x3000 on 3 November.

Where Haunted Coins x5000 sits in the market

The release extends Wazdan’s gain-focused Coins portfolio with a higher Grand Jackpot and additional feature pathways designed to increase session engagement. The combination of a larger jackpot ceiling, Cash Out accumulation mechanics, Cash Infinity multipliers up to 10x and Chance Level purchase options gives operators new levers for RTP and volatility management while keeping the series’ recognisable Hold the Jackpot loop.

Publishers and product teams should test session flows thoroughly to validate Cash Out persistence and the interaction between Cash Infinity multipliers and the Hold the Jackpot bonus outcomes.
