Mafia Wars is a great place to go to escape from the stresses of everyday life. You can release some stress and feel like a king by dominating your competition. However, you’ll never realize your true potential unless you have a lot of friends to help you on your journey.  The greater your ability to continually add new members to your mafia the greater your potential for success!

Players who lack the ability to recruit new members will earn less money, lose more fights and have a limited amount of opportunities and bonuses to choose from as compared to successful recruiters.  It’s unfortunate because adding new members to your mafia is actually one of the easiest things to do!

Income Benefits

Mafia Mike’s provide players with the highest return on investment than any other property available in the game.  The catch is your ability to purchase this valuable property is dependent on the amount of people you have in your Mafia.  The more members you have the more Mafia Mike’s you can purchase.  And these properties cannot be robbed or attacked (a feature that is currently disabled by Zynga).

Yes, the American holiday of Thanksgiving has already arrived in Mafia Wars. While it may not be a four-course meal at your parent’s house with all the fixings, players of the Facebook game can now give Thanksgiving gifts to their mafia. From weapons (Turkey Silencers, Potato Masher or Tomahawk) to a defensive Pigskin Helmet to a Parade Balloon in the shape of a smoking mob boss, there’s something that will fit the tastes of everyone in your mafia.

There are five new Thanksgiving-themed free gifts available for Mafia Wars. Here is the loot list:

Weapons:

Turkey Silence (28 attack, 13 defense)
Tomahawk (23 attack, 19 defense)
Potato Masher (26 attack, 17 defense)

Armor:

Pigskin Helmet (18 attack, 24 defense)

Vehicle:

Parade Balloon (14 attack, 28 defense)

Double mastery and double loot in New York, starting this weekend and running through the 22nd. What this means for you is if you’re still working on mastering the levels in New York, you’ll have the opportunity to finish much quicker than usual. This is also a great time to collect loot such as those untraceable cell phone and blackmail photos .

Mafia Wars Money Laundering Collection. New feature in Mafia Wars, called money laundering. When you do a job, you have a random chance to hit the “mother lode” and get extra money. But you will need help to launder this money, which is where your fellow mafia members come in.When this happens, if you can get your friends to help you launder this big payday, you can keep the cash and gain additional experience points. Your friends in turn will also benefit by getting a cut of your stash and a chance for a special collection item.

Once you hit the mother load, you can then ask your friends to help you out. I am assuming that once 10 people help you out (like the other jobs), you will be able to collect the bonus pay (will confirm or deny soon).
