Play’n GO, a renowned leader in casino entertainment, has officially entered the South African market through a strategic partnership with Betway, one of the region’s top betting brands. This new collaboration allows Betway South Africa to exclusively host a selection of Play’n GO’s most iconic games, such as Book of Dead, Reactoonz, and Rise of Olympus, bringing a fresh wave of excitement to South African players.
South African expansion:
With this partnership, Play’n GO continues to expand its global footprint, now operating in over 30 regulated jurisdictions worldwide with a portfolio boasting more than 350 premium titles.

Play’n GO’s new slot: Mafia Gold:
In addition to expanding into new territories, Play’n GO continues to innovate and expand its gaming library with the launch of its latest slot, Mafia Gold. This 5×4 slot game immerses players in a thrilling world of crime and intrigue, where rival gangs battle for supremacy over a city’s wealth and power. Players take on the role of rookies in the mafia, climbing the ranks through strategic gameplay, cunning, and firepower.
Mafia Gold draws inspiration from previous Play’n GO titles that focus on action and high-stakes drama, reminiscent of games like Mission Cash, Ruff Heist, and Cash Vandal. With its captivating narrative and engaging gameplay mechanics, Mafia Gold promises to captivate both new and seasoned players.
One of the standout features of Mafia Gold is the Feature Reel, which comes into play during standard gameplay. It contains multipliers activated by landing the High-Paying Mafia Bosssymbol with a Golden Frame on the same row, significantly enhancing players’ potential winnings. Another highlight is the Drive-By Feature, which adds an element of surprise and excitement to the gaming experience.
Players can unlock Free Spins by landing up to five Scatter symbols on the reels, awarding up to twenty Free Spins. During this feature, players collect bullets and prize values from the Feature Reel. Each bullet reduces the life of rival mafia members, with four foes each having ten hit points.
Once players defeat all four mafia members, they enter the Cash Hit Feature, where the Feature Reel contains only blanks or safe values.
Technical details of Mafia Gold include a layout of six reels, four rows, and 30 paylines, with high volatility to offer challenging yet rewarding gameplay. The game offers five RTP configurations, with the highest being 96.2% and the lowest at 84.2%, allowing operators to customize the experience based on their audience. The slot offers a maximum win potential of 6,000x, providing players with substantial opportunities for big wins.
