MGA Slots

MGA Games is a Spanish game producer that has achieved quite a prominent role in Spanish-speaking markets. Whilst they are part of the bigger MGA Group, we’ll talk about the whole company as one for the sake of this review. There are four different types of games that the company produces: video bingo, slots, Megaways slots, and table games.

As you’ve come to expect, we will take a very detailed look at the different games, as well as all the surrounding software that is part of the gaming experience. Of course, you can also try out the different demos right here at our site, and read even more detailed reviews of individual games. Don’t forget to vote for your favorite games, and rate those that you don’t like all too much.

Let’s jump right into it and see what MGA Games slots and casino games are all about.

Video Bingo

We’ll start with video bingo, as it is a surprisingly large category for MGA. In fact, big enough to challenge slots even. This is a bit of a rarity, as bingo itself has been in a bit of a decline. Traditional bingo networks are popular in the UK, whereas in most other online casinos they are nowhere to be found.

Likewise, video bingo has disappeared from the list of games of most game producers. The exception to this are producers from Spain and LATAM, where video bingo games seem to still be quite popular.

So what do these popular games look like? Check out these examples:

• Carnaval Bingo
• Arabian Bingo
• Casino Bingo
• Disco Bingo
• Vikings Bingo
• Fashion Bingo
• Golden Lucky Cat

The setup for these games is pretty much similar across all titles. You have four cards, each with fifteen numbers. The game has a total of sixty numbers, and thirty of these are drawn. The goal is to complete different patterns on the cards. The best one is obviously getting all the numbers filled, whilst the minimum is having one line horizontal or vertical.

The games do offer different patterns, and of course also have different prize setups. But other than such light changes, they pretty much always follow the same exact pattern. Only the theme changes. And whilst the graphics and animations are nice, it’s not necessarily enough to make these video bingo titles differentiate from one another.

Luckily, there is something that adds a bit of extra into the setting. And that is specialized bonus games. Each of these bingo titles usually has up to three unique bonus games. These are most usually the type where you pick a prize, and hope you get the biggest one. The features are triggered by hitting one of the top patterns.

Online Slots

Something you’ll notice immediately when taking a look at the company’s five-reeler slots is that they seem to embody female characters as the main theme in more than half of these games. Besides this common setup, the slot games offer a lot more variety than the above video bingo games.

Now apart from the Megaways games, which we will take a look at as well, these games all use five reels. Pretty much without exception that also means three symbols on each of those reels. What changes are the wins, varying greatly according to different paytables, and the way the paylines themselves are set up.

Let’s have a look at few of the slot titles from MGA:

• Samantha Fox

As you’ll soon notice, the company has built several slots around famous personalities. One of these is Samantha Fox, a massive star still. The game itself uses 243 ways to win and comes with bonus spins and several mini-games.

• Gems Planet

Medium volatility is combined with an outer space -theme, normal paylines, and wins that reach up to 2373 times the bet. With some luck, you can get your hands on bonus spins, multipliers, and a bonus game.

• Dream 3 Team 80s - 90s

To be honest, this dream team is unlikely to be popular outside of its native region. But if you happen to know them, it’s for sure another interesting celebrity slot. And if not, there’s some interesting music available, combined with bonus spins and multipliers.

• Wild Africa

More bonus spins and more multipliers, with a final double or nothing feature to multiply your wins even further. More of a neutral theme, with some animations and graphics to spice up your day.

• Gold Mermaid

Renata Gonzales, another Spanish star, is featured as the golden mermaid. Besides this factor, you might want to have a look at the reels, and spin your ways to bonus spins with expanding symbols and three distinctive mini-games.

• Chiquito

You don’t know who Chiquito is? Well, try out this slot and find out everything about this stand-up comedy star. Wins are counted in both directions, and accompanied by the usual selection of three bonus games.

• Fruits of Venice

If you’re looking more of a classic experience, try out this online slot with fruits as the selection of symbols. For a bit of extra, check out the bonus spins.

• Oktober Party

Take a hike out of Spain and head deeper into the middle of Europe. This traditional German beer festival is sure to get you in the celebratory mood. Especially once the wins start hitting through the twenty paylines.

• Magical Lake

A fantastical theme, setting the reels alight with all sorts of wild and fantastic symbols from waterfalls to unicorns. Perfect for those of us who prefer a bit lower volatility. And watch out for those wilds, as they also score you some bonus spins!

• Fanny Rodrigues Golden Throne

Another online slot built around local celebrities. This time combined with a fantasy setting in a medieval world of adventures. 243 ways to win, some bonus spins, and a pretty amazing set of bonus games to experience.

Our Verdict on MGA Online Slots

The games definitely trust a lot in different themes, especially ones that have some sort of celebrity as the main character. This also probably explains why they haven’t got much traction outside of Spain, as these are local celebrities. That said, this is only a small part of the gaming selection, and growing ever smaller.

The game types are quite traditional. Not exactly classic, but not venturing too far from the relative safety of five reels and paylines. At most, you occasionally run into ways to win games. Special features aren’t too experimental either. Most games come with a combination of bonus spins, multipliers, and an assortment of mini-games that give out medium wins.

The RTPs are something you might want to keep an eye on. These games have roots in local land-based gaming, and in that sector the return to player figures have long been below what they are online. Some of that has stayed with the games, with RTPs around 90% mark. However, this is probably something that depends heavily on the online casino too.

And for something else, check out the Megaways slots

If you’re looking for something a bit more adventurous, you’ll be glad to know that MGA has come out with their own selection of Megaways slots. This includes titles like Gold Mania Megaways, 777 Hot megaways, and Fire Warlock Megaways. Whilst not all that numerous selection yet, the category is definitely growing.

These games bring about hundreds of thousands of different combos on the reels, through a variety of symbol combinations. But make note that they don’t necessarily try to sway you with massive payouts. On the contrary, these games seem to be favored by those who prefer playing on smaller bets. When it comes to gameplay features you’re met with the same bonus spins and multipliers most of the time.

Table Games

We’ll give an honorary mention to the table games, which are practically just different versions of roulette. This refers either to their electronic table roulette, only available in land-based locations, or the Grand Croupier line of products.

What this series of games does is akin to what has happened with the slots. It’s the very basic roulette, but with a special guest. And those guests are Spanish celebrities. Only, the whole game is animated, so the attraction comes from the quips and other voice acting that is played here and there. Certainly an acquired taste.

Interpretation

What is there to say about MGA Games, other than that they do what they do exceedingly well. They are specialized to a certain market, although they have somewhat broken off that with their most recent games.

The slots and video bingo titles do play out quite well, assuming you can find the versions that dish out the higher range of RTPs. They’re quite suited for gamers who want a chill experience, instead of chasing the biggest jackpots imaginable. Whilst not everyone’s cup of tea, it’s certainly something to try and see if you like the taste.
