Bets and Tripled ARPU in Africa and CIS

Mancala Gaming says its recent release Panther Legacy has become one of the strongest-performing new titles in its portfolio, recording approximately twice the average betting volume and three times the average ARPU in Africa and CIS markets during the first eight weeks after launch.

According to the supplier, the comparison is based on the average performance of other Mancala Gaming titles over the same post-release period.

The game is built around a Hold & Win-style mechanic but adds a more feature-driven structure designed around jackpot collection, multipliers and extended bonus play.

Players are taken through a jungle-themed treasure hunt, with four jackpots available and a maximum win of up to 5,000x the stake.

Key features behind Panther Legacy

One of the central mechanics is the use of Stacked Wilds, which can land in stacks of four symbols and help complete winning combinations.

The game also features Multiplier Symbols, which may appear during regular spins and add multiplier values to the reels.

A Collector Symbol can then collect all active multipliers on the screen and award an instant payout.

The mechanic becomes more important during the Jackpot Game, where the Collector not only gathers multipliers but also clears space for new symbols. This gives players additional opportunities to extend the round and increase the potential value of the bonus.

For players who want direct access to the feature, the game also includes a Buy Bonus option that opens the Jackpot Game immediately.

Strong early performance in Africa and CIS

The early performance figures are particularly notable because they point to both higher engagement and stronger monetisation compared with Mancala Gaming's portfolio average.

A doubling in betting activity suggests that Panther Legacy is generating a higher level of player interaction, while the reported threefold increase in ARPU indicates significantly stronger revenue per active user during the first eight weeks after release.

The figures also highlight the importance of regional performance. Africa and CIS remain highly competitive markets for online casino suppliers, where mechanics such as jackpots, multipliers and instant-access bonus features tend to play an important role in player acquisition and retention.

Mancala Gaming will showcase Panther Legacy at SBC Summit, taking place from 29 September to 1 October, with the supplier exhibiting at stand A406.
