The moment has arrived again to welcome another state of the art Betsoft release from the Slots3 series. This time, we are taken to an restaurant, where a world-class chef cooks a meal that will satisfy even the most stringent food critics and make them yell “Mamma Mia!” There’s a lot of singing, loud talking, mouth-watering food, and above all, superb fun, which you simply must not miss out on!

There’s a lot of innovation in Betsoft’s “Mamma Mia”. To start with, the game features one of the best graphical solutions one can find in the industry. All the symbols are cinematic, meaning they give a little performance when you win on them, and the cheerful Italian chef is always in the corner below the reels, commenting and cheering for you. When it comes to special features, there are novelties there, too. Apart from the standard wilds, scatters, free spins and bonus rounds, “Mamma Mia” also enables players to lock wilds at an additional cost per spin. This is a very interesting feature that may bring very good prizes and increase the number of winning spins, so you should choose your locked wilds wisely.

Even with the additional cost of locked wilds, this five-reel, 30-payline slot is a rather affordable game that virtually everyone can play. It offers coin amounts from $0.02 to $1, and the possibility to place up to five coins per line. It’s worth noting that playing on the maximum number of lines also maximizes winning odds, and that it’s worth placing multiple coins per line in order to maximize line wins.

Special Features:

“Mamma Mia” really has everything a slots fan could possibly wish for – from vivid graphics, cheerful and picturesque symbols to fantastic and generous special features that will keep the play interesting and engaging. The central feature is the aforementioned locked wilds feature, which allows players to position wilds wherever they feel necessary at an additional cost, by pressing one of the buttons marked as Bet, Lock & Spin (current or max bet). Of course, the more wilds you decide to place on the reels, the more you will have to pay, so choose your locked wilds wisely. Of course, if you’d rather skip this feature and wait for standard wilds to appear, this is possible too – all you have to do is play with regular spin and max bet buttons.

Apart from the wilds, there’s also the scattered pizza symbol, three or more of which will start a pizza-making free spins mode, where symbols become pizza ingredients, and the chef in the corner keeps adding the ingredients on which you win to his pizza. This feature appears quite often, but it usually brings pretty moderate prizes, so don’t get your hopes too high. Then, we have a food critic bonus round, activated by three or more menu symbols anywhere on the reels, in which you need to help the chef choose the right dish to impress the food critic. The dish will be scored on four criteria, and depending on the final mark, you will get your prize. Finally, there’s the Click Me feature, which brings instant prizes whenever you hit three or more cover symbols in any position. Surprisingly, there are some quite decent prizes to be won here, so pick carefully.

In general, “Mamma Mia” is a game in which Betsoft’s team outdid themselves. Such an engaging game is rarely seen, and accompanied by those exquisite graphics and sounds that go perfectly with the theme, this slot promises to be a smashing hit of the season.
