The author studies local times of random walks on the nonnegative integers whose transition probabilities are associated with Gegenbauer polynomials. In particular, in the recurrent case with parameters \(\alpha\in [-1/1,0[\), a limit distribution in terms of a Mittag-Leffler distribution is given. The proof is based on a local central limit theorem. As a by-product, the limits of local times for certain birth-and-death processes are determined.
