mplay

Company Overview

Mplay Games emerged around 2020, quickly made contacts around the world, and enchanted players with their unique take on casino gaming. A handful of years have passed since then, and it’s hard to say if this company even exists anymore.

The games themselves were a selection of slots and table games. It’s obvious to anyone who has ever tried these games that they take a lot of inspiration from India, at least when it comes to themes.

Mplay was originally based in Malta. It seems like their last game was released in 2022, and judging by their website the company has shut down for good. However, some of the games do linger on in various online casinos. As things are going this might be the last chance to take a look at them.

Slots and Table Games

Starting with table games, the company never added roulette, blackjack or baccarat into their selection. Instead, they focused on table games with Asian inspirations, such as Andar Bahar, Sic Bo, and Teen Patti.

For the most part, these do seem to play out in the normal fashion. Some of the games do offer side bets with wins that are bigger than the norm, but other than that there are no big surprises in there. There was clearly a second lineup of similar games planned, with titles like Ludo and Satta Matka.

So, let’s take a look at the slots then.

The Indian influences continue here too, although you also have themes that take a different route. For example, Wild West Mystery heads into the Old West, and Tropical Birds is obviously about birds. Crorepati on the other hand is about a popular game show, and Bollywood Stars is quite clearly about celebrities.

Graphically the games were neither good nor bad. We’d say that these slots were quite normal, meeting but not exceeding expectations. The same can be said about the audio effects.

The prizes seem to be divided into two rather easy casts: games that pay up to 500 times the bet, and games that pay up to 2000 times the bet. Anything else would be the odd one out. Despite the similar paytable structures, these games aren’t carbon copies of each other.

You will get different numbers of paylines, and different variances and RTPs. Special features are based on respins, bonus spins, or mini-games. Wilds and scatters do their usual business.

In the end, these slots are pretty basic. And it’s rather easy to see why the company has skipped out of town. The only attraction is due to the theme, and the question is how many were attracted to those themes in the first place. The games themselves offer no big surprises. Mind you, they’re no worse either than the thousands of other similar games out there. But in the end, if you ended up playing these slots it was most likely due to sheer luck.

Stick Around for a Surprise

But there is something in the selection that is quite unlike anything else out there. A handful of what seem like board games. One of these is Snakes and Ladders. It’s a dice-based game, where every throw costs a bet, and results in you moving along the board. Certain positions give wins, and making it to the end pays out a bigger pot.

Ludo is another example. Also based on a board game, though this is the single-player version. There are positions which return you to start, pay out wins, or are simply empty spaces on the board. The interesting part here is that you have four tokens to move, so there is some possibility of strategy. Wins are rather small of course, but these games do work very well for casual players.

Interpretation

What is there to say about Mplay Games? They produce some rather bland slots. Ones that could maybe proved to be popular a decade back, but today are simply lost in a sea of similar slots. Their table games have a bit more spirit to them, especially the ones that are actually board games.

At the end of the day, it seems pretty obvious that this company has ceased to function. No new games are being produced, and the old ones are slowly disappearing from online casinos. Try the board games whilst you can.
