The Mafiosi Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

If you’ve played the Peter and Sons' Cauldron slot, you know this developer can do exciting things with free spins. In the criminal underworld of The Mafiosi, free spins mean the five reels can grow from three to four rows with Expanding Wilds and multipliers as you unlock more and more levels to this thrilling game with its 243 ways to win.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Mafia can be used to describe any major criminal organization, but it’s generally used to describe either the original Sicilian firm or the Italian American version, which have probably received the most fascinated attention from the media. That includes countless classic movies like The Godfather and critically acclaimed TV shows like The Sopranos. For many years the inner workings of these organisations were shrouded with mystery, capturing the public imagination.

The Mafiosi takes its inspiration from the days of Al Capone, perhaps the most famous mob boss of them all, back when fast cars and glamorous ladies accompany ruthless Mafia soldiers and, sitting next to the reels with his cigar, Don Giovanni, the supremely confident head of the L’Amiranta family. Card symbols are poker chips, reflecting the Mafia’s involvement in illicit gambling, and there are also guns and jewels to find. There’s also a darkness about this slot, from its purple colour scheme to the tension in the rhythmic Jazz Age soundtrack, and it’s given extra energy through constant movements and animation.

The Mafiosi RTP and Variance

An RTP of 96.01% means The Mafiosi is just inside the range we like to see for average returns, and a little higher than many others. It’s a good start, even if it’s only a theoretical figure and not a definitive guarantee. Slots wouldn’t be as fun if you always knew your results in advance. Extra risk is added by the high variance, which means wins are likely to be further apart, though they may be higher when they do hit.

How to Play The Mafiosi

He’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse:

1. It starts with the loading screen before you can even see the reels. There’s an old-fashioned record that snaps in half when you click it to mute the sound. There’s an info scroll that gives you some of the most basic rules and features. Then there’s the play button to actually load the game.
2. Then you see the reels themselves. If you want more info, you can go to the Menu button at the bottom left of the screen. There are links to the game rules, paytable and game history as well as another on/off toggle for the sound (which can also be muted using the speaker symbol).
3. Next to the Menu button you’ll your current balance displayed. Bear this in mind when you’re setting your budget and your bet so you can have fun and be responsible at the same time.
4. Talking of your bet, you’ll see this displayed over towards the right. Click on it and it will reveal every possible bet level, depending on how high you like your risk.
5. There’s another button with a lightning bolt on it that you’ll probably guess stands for Quickspin/Turbo mode.
6. The final button down here is autoplay. You can set 25, 50, 100 or 250 automatic spins. It’s convenient, but if you’re not there then you might end up breaking your loss and single win limits, which could break your budget.
7. If you’d rather have closer control, even it means having to sit with your finger on the button so you can click regularly, use the larger Spin button just above it to stick to one spin at a time. 
8. As with every Peter and Sons slot, we recommend giving the free demo a try first just to make sure you really enjoy it before risking real money.

The Mafiosi Bonus Features

Expanding Wilds

These appear in the base game, when a single Wild grows to fill and entire reel and increase your chances of a match. That’s not all, though: every Wild that appears adds a x1 multiplier to any prize.

Free Spins

You can trigger ten free spins just by finding two Scatters. You’re guaranteed at least one Wild on every free spin, which means more Expanding Wilds.

Super Free Spins

Collect more Scatters and when the progress bar reaches 70% you can trigger Super Free Spins. The game layout expands to a 4x5 grid with the same guaranteed and Expanding Wilds with multipliers.

Mega Free Spins

If you continue collecting Scatters and increase the meter from 70% to 100%, you can trigger Mega Free Spins. It’s all the same as Super Free Spins, except the multiplier is x2.

The Mafiosi Review

There’s a certain amount of style and glamour inherent in this theme, and it certainly is an intriguing-looking game. It’s big strength, however, is as a free spins slot with the three levels of spin, all with Expanding Wilds and multipliers, adding both thrills and winnings potential.
