Game Overview

I’d imagine that most of us have seen at least one or two gangster style movies in our time, with classics such as The Godfather, Goodfellas, and, of course, Casino being a few of my personal favourites. It would seem the made men are out in force in the world of iGaming now, too, thanks to PG Soft and their slot titled Mafia Mayhem. A little breakdown of the main stats reveals this to be a 6-reel game with 2,304 paylines, an RTP of 96.76%, and a maximum win of 10,000x bet.

If you’re planning on becoming a Don, you’ll need some modifiers and bonuses to help you get there, and Mafia Mayhem might just have what you’re looking for. First of all, this is a cascading reels slot, so all symbols involved in a win will be removed from the reels and replaced with new ones. Then, we have the Golden Framed symbols that can randomly appear. If these are part of a winning combo, they will transform into sticky wilds. Additionally, at the end of a spin, if 1 or more wilds are in view, any of the wilds may be awarded a multiplier value of up to 100x. Finally, the slot has a free spins bonus round, too, and during this feature, all wilds are guaranteed to transform into multipliers at the end of each spin.

Have you got what it takes to rise from a foot soldier to being the boss of a powerful mafia family? Why not test your skills in our free Mafia Mayhem slot demo, available to play below.

Mafia Mayhem Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Mafia Mayhem paytable

I’m beginning to wonder if the team at PG Soft are going through a bit of a violent streak, as the previous two slots I reviewed from the provider were Ninja Raccoon Frenzy, which showcases the fortunes of a crazed Raccoon, and Gladiator’s Glory, which takes players into the heart of the Colosseum to battle it out for a big win. Now, with Mafia Mayhem being added to their portfolio of slot games, we’re suspicious that there’s something in the water over at PG Soft HQ. I’m only joking, folks; in fairness, I’ve really been enjoying the diversity in the genre of games from PG lately, and I’m ready to share more of my findings with you in this latest review. So, next up, it’s time to check in on that all important pays section.

We’re over at the paytable, and the highest paying symbol in the Wise Guy, valued at 1x bet for a winning connection of five. He’s followed by the Poker Chips and Glass of Spirits, both paying 0.75x, whilst the Knuckle Duster, Hat, and Rose complete the premium section with equal returns of 0.5x for a full line of five. We have the industry standard royals representing the lower pays, with the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten all offering payouts of 0.25x bet if five connect across a payline.

We’ll finish up this part of the review by looking at the bet selection, where I can report back that real money play offers a minimum stake of €0.20, up to a maximum of €100. These options may differ slightly in our Mafia Mayhem slot free play version.

Mafia Mayhem Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Mafia Mayhem base game

Mafia Mayhem is played on a slightly different reel configuration than what you’re likely used to, with a set-up of 3x3x4x4x4x4 being in play. This equates to a total of 2,304 ways to win being active on every spin. A win will be credited to your balance if at least three matching symbols match on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel first.

Cascading Reels

Different developers refer to the cascading reels feature by various terms, and in the case of PG Soft, they like to call them collapsing reels. This part of the slot comes into action when a winning combination has been created within the playfield. Firstly, all symbols involved in the win are removed from the reels before new ones drop down to replace them, bringing additional chances to win.

Golden Framed Symbols

On each spin, random symbols (excluding scatters and wilds) may have a golden frame around them. If these symbols are part of a winning combination, they will be transformed into a sticky wild.

Sticky Wild Symbols

At the end of a spin, any wilds in view may randomly transform into a multiplier symbol that will be awarded a value between 2x – 100x.

Mafia Mayhem Slot Bonus Features

Mafia Mayem free spins feature

Three scatter symbols appearing in view on any base game spin will trigger the feature and award 15 free spins, with each additional scatter that lands thereafter adding an extra two spins to the starting total.

Free Spins Feature

During the free spins bonus round, at the end of every spin, any wilds in view are guaranteed to transform into multiplying wilds, drastically increasing your chances of hitting a substantial win.

Pros

A well executed theme.
High RTP that is well above the average.
Solid max win of 10,000x bet.

Cons

The multiplying wilds seem to always be low values during the free spins.
The bonus feature doesn't really differ from the base game.

Mafia Mayhem Slot Review Final Thoughts

Since 2023, it certainly feels as though PG Soft has upped its game, and by dipping its toe into other slot niches rather than just sticking to the Asian genre, they are bound to attract new players before long.Mafia Mayhem is another fine example of what the studio is capable of, and with a high RTP in play and a decent max win to shoot for, this is a slot I'd recommend you give some playing time.
