First popularised in Brazil in the early 2000s, the original Showball title earned its place as one of the most iconic video bingo games of its time, known for its green logo, flowing cursive font, metallic aesthetic, and four-ticket layout with extra balls and win patterns. The heart at the centre of the screen became a symbol players fondly remember.
Neko Games® later brought new life to the theme with Super Showball, its first release. Now, Super Showball Mystery™ Link&Win™ introduces a third generation that builds on the original’s popularity while adding modern visuals, richer features, and the thrilling Link&Win™ mechanic.
“Showball has a legacy in Brazil. It introduced mechanics and visuals that players hadn’t seen before,” said Juan Pablo Córdoba, Founder & Director of Neko Games®. “When we launched Super Showball in 2020, we understood how important the original was to so many players, and how they would touch the heart in the centre for good luck. We wanted to evolve it in a way that makes sense to those who remember the original, but also feels exciting to someone discovering it for the first time.”
While many of the original’s visual elements have been updated, the game stays true to its roots and adds fresh features that expand on the classic gameplay
* Jackpot Bar: Players only need to collect three kobans in a single round to win a jackpot prize. Collect all six to trigger the 5,000x Mega Jackpot.
* Link&Win™ Bonus: Filling the Mystery Pot with diamonds during the Extra Ball stage activates the Link&Win™ bonus, where more kobans and jackpot chances await.
* Offer Bonus: Accept a prize or risk it for more in this suspenseful feature that puts the decision in the player’s hands.
* Scratchcards Bonus: Win up to 200x with guaranteed rewards, plus a chance to reveal a hidden mystery prize.
* Maneki-Neko Flyby: The iconic cat returns, dropping kobans or Free Balls to boost the action and deliver even more win potential.
