The initial launch consisted of 50 slots and 20 dice games; the catalogue later added another 8 titles. It mixes classic and modern slot styles, varied reel layouts and mechanics, and a range of themes and bonus features. Players and online casinos have responded positively to date.
Mancala Gaming says it decided to develop a substantial slot catalogue before its public launch. The company felt a new software developer would struggle to stand out in a crowded market with only 10 to 15 games, so it aimed to debut with enough titles to attract attention.
Mancala Gaming is described as partnering with online casinos serving unregulated markets around the world. The provider also reports that its games reach players in over 20 countries.
The company’s longer-term goal was to enter regulated markets. At the time of the review, it was applying for licences from the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority. The review proposed that approval from either regulator might bring Mancala slots to online casinos in Europe. This was a forecast at the time, not confirmation of current licensing or availability.
Mancala Gaming Games
Mancala Gaming’s catalogue is presented as uncomplicated entertainment, with slots grouped into classic and premium styles. The provider also designed dice games with the Belgian market in mind.
Dice Games
Along with slots, Mancala Gaming calls another part of its catalogue dice games. They look much like slots and use similar mechanics, so the distinction is not clear. The provider counts over 20 such games, described as offering mobile-ready visuals, soundtracks and a range of bonus features.
Blood Romance Dice is one example: a vampire-themed slot with 25 paylines and a 5x4 reel layout. The review lists a 95% RTP and a 2555x maximum win, as well as free spins, a bonus game and wild symbols. Its dark subject matter may not suit players who prefer less graphic themes.
Other Mancala dice slot titles mentioned in the review include:
- Blood Romance Dice
- #Casinonight Dice
- Rage of Zeus Dice
- Sunken Ship Dice
- Goal Star Dice
- Tomb of Egypt Dice
- Spins & Magic Dice
Video Slots
Video slots appear to be Mancala Gaming’s primary focus, with over 50 titles reported. The games use HTML5 and are built for desktop and mobile devices. The review describes their themed presentation and bonus features as visually accessible.
The review identified Zero Day as the portfolio’s most popular slot at the time. This cyberpunk title has 1,024 ways to win and a 95% RTP, with free spins, multipliers, wilds and a bonus game among its listed features. The review also noted particular popularity with players in Finland.
At the time of the review, Cherry Bombs was Mancala Gaming’s newest release. The retro-inspired slot features three stages of cascading reels, with the grid expanding from 5x3 to 6x4 and then 7x5 as play progresses. Features include a free spins round, a bonus game and cluster mechanics.
Other Mancala video slots named in the review include:
- Cherry Bombs
- African Theme Park
- Wicked Heart
- Mortal Blow
- Zero Day
- Monster Thieves
Conclusion
Mancala Gaming made a high-profile debut in the iGaming sector. Launching 70 games at once gave the developer a substantial catalogue to show online casinos and other industry platforms.
The review pointed to existing partnerships and licence applications with the UKGC and MGA as signs that Mancala Gaming could grow further. These were plans reported at the time and do not confirm current licensing or availability in Canada.
