Mafioso

Note: Yggdrasil has withdrawn this game from its public demo server, so there is no playable free demo to embed on this page – we last confirmed this on 23 September 2026. The screenshots here were captured while the demo was still available.

Mafioso Overview

Mafioso is a cluster-pays slot on a 6x6 grid, developed by Hungry Bear Gaming and distributed through Yggdrasil. It was released on 29 January 2025, and SlotCatalog lists an RTP of 94%, medium-high volatility and a maximum win of 5,000x the bet. Bets run from 0.20 to 50.

The figures below come from our own session, played at a bet of €50, and from the game’s paytable, which states that all wins are multiplied by the total bet.

A Night on Mob Street

The grid stands in a dark, rain-grey city street, with red roses climbing around its frame. The symbols are photographic cards: the mob boss in a green hat with a cigar, a police officer, a vintage red car and a fist full of cash against a red background. Diamonds, poker chips, gold bullets, a fedora and a blood-stained note fill the lower ranks.

To the left sits a spiral notebook, and every win in a cascade chain is written into it with the cluster size and the prize, so you can see exactly where a total came from.

How the Grid Pays

There are no paylines. Matching symbols that touch each other form a cluster, winning symbols are removed and new ones drop in to replace them, so one spin can pay several times over. SlotCatalog also lists expanding symbols, mega symbols up to 3x3, multipliers and a cash collector among the features.

In the base game we saw large gold NYPD badges land on the grid, spread across several positions, and a steel safe symbol on the right-hand reel.

The Paytable

The boss is the top symbol. Nine bosses pay 8x the bet, ten pay 10x, 11 pay 15x, 12 pay 25x, 13 pay 30x and 14 pay 50x. A cluster of 15 or more pays 80x, the largest prize on the paytable – exactly ten times what the smallest boss cluster returns, so the size of the group matters far more than which symbol you land.

The police officer runs from 6x for nine up to 60x for 15 or more, the red car from 4x to 50x, and the cash symbol from 3x to 30x. The lower symbols are listed on further paytable pages. The game build shown was Hungry Bear version 1.0.1.

What We Saw in Play

Our first win was a cluster of eight symbols worth €60. On the next spin two five-symbol clusters, of cash and of the blood-stained note, paid €40 and €60, for a total of €100.

A longer chain later filled the notebook with five entries between €15 and €75 and ended at €310, a little over 6x the stake. In between, the balance drifted down from €10,850 to around €9,500, which is typical of a game where the bigger prizes need large clusters.

Buying the Free Spins

The game offers a Buy Free Spins option. At our €50 bet it cost €3,750, which is 75x the stake. After the purchase a detective’s evidence board appeared, covered in photos, clippings and red string, and announced 10 free spins.

The price is steep compared with the 80x top line prize, so the feature is really a bet on the extras – multipliers, mega symbols and cascades – carrying the round.

Inside the Free Spins

During the bonus a new row appears under the grid, a line of boxes and white arrows that tracks the round’s progress, and a counter on the right shows the spins left. The background moves from grey to a darker red street scene.

We also saw a framed 2x2 block in the top corner of the grid. With two spins still to go, the win counter stood at €865 – about 17x the bet, well below the €3,750 we had paid for the round. The notebook listed five-symbol wins between €10 and €75 along the way.

The Numbers to Keep in Mind

A 94% RTP is below the market average, and SlotCatalog lists it as a range, so the version at a given casino may differ. In theory it means €94 comes back for every €100 staked over a very long run. Medium-high volatility sits between steady play and long dry spells, and the 5,000x ceiling is far above the 80x boss prize, so the features have to provide most of the top-end potential.

Who Should Play It

Mafioso suits players who like a gangster story told in pictures, cluster pays on a compact 6x6 grid and a clear record of every win. The Buy Free Spins option is there for those who want to go straight to the bonus, but at 75x the bet it needs a sensible budget.

As there is no free demo on this page, the screenshots and paytable figures above are the best guide before you play for real money.
