Mamma Mia! is a culinary-inspired video slot that Betsoft released on September 20, 2011. Themes: hospitality industry, cinematography, Italian cuisine, recipe, food review, and pastry. Betsoft-owned Sushi Bar (November 2012) is relatable.

Named after an Italian interjection that denotes surprise, Mamma Mia!’s rival games include Best Chef (February 2019) from PlayStar, Mega Chef (December 2019) from Triple Cherry, and Le Chef (December 2017) from Magnet Gaming.

Seven symbols (Italian chef Salvatore De Cristofaro’s caricature, bespectacled food critic, mustached waiter, salami sausage, mozzarella cheese, black olives, and pepper) require two, three, four, or five winning combinations. Nine symbols (cannelloni pasta, bill holder, newspaper, wine rack, cooking pot, chopping board, onions, anchovy fish, and tomatoes) require three, four, or five winning combinations.
