Mamma Mia Introduction
Betsoft is famed for enhancing its pokies with stunning 3D graphics, with this trend continuing in Mamma Mia. Packed with exceedingly generous prizes, light-hearted and cheerful symbols and hilarious sound effects, Mamma Mia could be one of the most entertaining pokies ever made! Combine this with vivid animations and an optimised version for tablet and mobile devices and it is clear - Mamma Mia is a guaranteed winner!
Look and feel
Mamma Mia perfectly captures the exciting hustle and bustle of a family-run Italian restaurant. The cinematic opening scene shows the chef rushing around to provide the best meal possible for a renowned food critic. The chef, Salvatore, cooks on screen, offering encouragement every time you spin.
The reels are set into the wall of the restaurant and the symbols feature the fresh ingredients and aged wines that you would expect to find in a classy establishment.
Format
As is common nowadays in free pokies, you can set the game up as you like. Mamma Mia has five reels, coin values range from 0.02 to 0.50, active paylines can be changed from one to 30, and you can bet between one and five credits on each line. The interface is very user-friendly and beautifully high-definition, making it a pleasure to play.
Symbols
There are nine different symbols gracing the reels, including a chopping board with tasty fresh veg, a classy-looking wine cabinet, and the very talented chef Salvatore himself. A line of five Salvatore symbols pays out a prize of 500 x your original line bet, making him the most valuable symbol in the game. Nonetheless, even the lowest symbol - the chopping board - is worth 50 x your wager.
Every win is rewarded with a fun animation, which is different for each symbol and keeps players on the edge of their seats.
Lock in those wilds
In a rather unique development, players have the option to turn parts of the reels into wilds for an additional cost per spin. Simply activate the feature with the max bet button, which is found bottom left, and then click on the square you wish to lock as a wild. You will be hitting winning combinations with ease. Used strategically, this could be highly rewarding!
The pizza symbol is the scatter. Bag three or more anywhere on the reels to trigger the free spins feature, which sees you helping Salvatore to make delicious pizzas. Symbols in this mini-game include olives, onions, tomatoes and pepperoni. Upon a winning combination, chef Salvatore adds the ingredient to the pizza, adding to the free spins prize awarded at the end of the round.
Bonus round
Three or more menu symbols anywhere on the reels unlocks the bonus mini-game. In this fun feature you will enter the kitchen and assist the chef in selecting the perfect ingredients to serve to the very discerning food critic. He will assess your food on four criteria and give you a score - the higher his score, the bigger your credit prize!
There is also a Click-Me game to keep an eye out for. Triggered by three or more silver platter symbols landing on the reels, you will then be presented with three covered platters from which to choose. Click on one to test your luck and reveal your reward. Bellissimo!
