The Mafia Boss on Facebook
The Mafia Boss' rapidly growing Facebook community of loyal and extremely obsessed mafia game players prompted its redesign. The game's Facebook fans have already started playing on the new beta site and posting their feedback on Facebook. The Mafia Boss' producers are certain that Facebook will continue to facilitate these types of interactions, which have been winning over millions of casual mafia game players.

Larbi Belrhiti, Founder and Managing Director of Just Fun Softwares Ltd. is very pleased about the reactions to The Mafia Boss' availability on Facebook and the new beta.

"Our extremely loyal fans have already sent us feedback and their comments are incredibly positive," said Belrhiti. "It appears that we are very successfully feeding their hungry gaming appetites by putting The Mafia Boss on Facebook, not to mention the new beta and tutorial video! It's going to be an exciting year for us and our players," Belrhiti continued.

The Mafia Boss' Game Strategy
Just like the real mafia, The Mafia Boss players can join families or create family unions, arm their defensive units, attack other players, go to the Black Market to purchase drugs, alcohol and weapons to make their crew happy, and make some cash by collecting from their casinos, brothels, loan sharks, and gambling dens.

All players are ranked based on their net worth which is calculated by items and virtual cash on hand. For example, a Gulfstream Jet ($40,000) plus some Hustlers ($1,000), plus an Uzi ($2,000) gives a player a net worth of $43,000. Players can attack other players within their net worth range, produce items like coke, weed, alcohol and cash, and collect cash from their businesses. Every ten days, the game takes those players with the highest net worth and rewards them with various prizes, the top being a real life cash jackpot starting at $1,000 USD!

Santosh Kumar, Marketing Manager, Just Fun Softwares Ltd. knows that the millions of online mafia game players will undoubtedly find the new Mafia Boss beta to be the best they've ever played.

"No one has ever experienced anything like the new version of The Mafia Boss Game," said Kumar. "We've added really cool new features. I'm sure we'll be converting millions of casual players to become bonafied addicts!" he stated.

"Enjoy the game and watch your back," is one of the rules on the new The Mafia Boss web site… excellent words to live… or die by.
