Slot game developer Play’n GO is taking a step into the world of mobsters and gangsters with their latest release Mafia Gold. Players are immersed in a crime caper game aimed at taking control of a city’s wealth and power eliminating gangsters one at a time.

The shadowy underworld of Mafia Gold surrounds the player with detailed graphics, gunfire sounds, random drive-by events, and gang members that must be eliminated. This is a highly entertaining game from Play’n GO.

Released on Thursday, Mafia Gold is set up with a 5-reel and 4-row screen. The reels are filled with symbols of red roses, a mafia boss, a revolver, gangsters, and great cash rewards. The game’s features are so great, “it’s almost a crime,” Play’n GO says on their website describing the game.

Wild Drive-By Feature

Mafia Gold includes a great random drive-by animation that can trigger during any spin. The drive-by will add three to eight wild symbols to the reels to pick up bigger wins.

Land on three red rose scatters and you get to meet the mafia boss and go on a Free Spins mission to eliminate gang members. Be on the lookout for characters like Tony the Hat, Carlo, Fat Mike, and Slick.

Unlocking the Free Spins feature will award 10 spins with three scatters, 15 spins with four scatters, and 20 spins with five. During the Free Spins feature you collect bullets to shoot and eliminate gang members at the top of the screen. Each gang member you eliminate awards five additional free spins. Once all gang members are eliminated an additional five spins will be awarded.

Surrounded by gunfire and always looking over your back, it may all be worth it if you hit the jackpot and win 6,000 times your bet in Mafia Gold.

“Mafia Gold is a testament to our commitment to delivering immersive and engaging gaming experiences, “said Magnus Olsson, chief commercial officer at Play’n GO. “The combination of dynamic features like the Cash Hit feature and well-realized symbol-work ensures that Mafia Gold will captivate both new and experienced players.”

Other Mafia-Themed Games

Slot fans may already have some mafia game experience playing titles like La Mafia Heist, Chicago Gold, or Grand Loot. These games are available on BetMGM, DraftKings, BetRivers, and other online casinos.

In July, Play’n GO announced the launch of its game content with one of North America’s biggest gaming brands, DraftKings. Play’n GO is licensed in six U.S. iGaming states, minus Rhode Island. Bally’s Corp. is the only company allowed to operate iGaming in Rhode Island. Play’n GO would be a game supplier to Bally’s if a license is awarded in the future.

When, or if, Mafia Gold will enter the U.S. market remains to be seen. Similar mafia-themed games from Play’n GO include Mission Cash, Ruff Heist, and Cash Vandal.

Play’n GO games are becoming increasingly popular according to the Online Game Performance Report (OGPR) which ranks games based on performance. In March, Play’n GO’s Piggy Blitz was ranked #17, and in June they launched Merlin Wizard onto the market.
