R. Franco Digital sets its sights on ICE London

Legendary Spanish gaming provider to unveil latest global solutions for operators
R. Franco Digital, R. Franco Group’s digital division, is set to stake its claim at ICE London next month as one of the world’s most comprehensive gaming suppliers.
A subsidiary of Spain’s most established gaming company, R. Franco Digital was founded in 2015 and consolidated in 2017 as the digital division of the R. Franco Group.
Fresh from a host of honours as finalists at the Global Gaming, SBC and British Casino Awards in recent months, its 2020 global suite will debut at Stand S5-110, with its latest gaming catalogue primed and ready for ICE delegates.
Fully optimised for HTML5 and high performance, titles set to be unveiled include Secret of Incas, an epic journey back into the 13th century Inca empire totaling 20 fixed paylines and an action-packed bonus game offering three unique levels and a 5,000x multiplier.
Alongside, its much-anticipated TimeLab is set to make its London debut following SiGMA, featuring the hugely popular Dr. Random, an eccentric genius who has cracked time travel after years of calculations, dozens of failed attempts and thousands of tons of sandwiches.
A 5-reel, 3-line slot with 30 fixed paylines, TimeLab transcends the barriers of time, with Dr. Random’s time travelling capers offer operators the chance to provide a new series of gaming exploits to ensure players will always be coming back for more.
On the solutions front, its remote microservices-based gaming server Kolyseo will take centre stage. Able to host any type of game, it works with generic APIs to allow easy integrations with any player platform and gaming back office, scalable to an unlimited capacity to suit any global operator’s needs.
Taking pride of place alongside will be IRIS, R. Franco Digital’s powerful open-architecture platform, which integrates everything an operator requires: including player management, payment gateways, content, promotions, alerts and responsible gaming tools, as well as its IRIS Power Vault, its latest application for data monitoring in regulated environments.
Other products on display will include R. Franco Digital’s hand-picked portfolio of more than 250 leading HTML5 games as well as its market-leading RF OnMix touch screen multi-game terminal. Its powerful open-architecture platform IRIS is also set to make appearance, as well the SBC-shortlisted IRIS Power Vault, the Group’s latest application for data monitoring in regulated environments.
Commenting on R. Franco Digital’s plans for ICE, Digital and Operations Director at R. Franco, Javier Sacristán, said:
“Given our status as Spain’s most established gaming company, we’ve been attending ICE for more than 20 years, with every year proving to be another landmark success. We’ll be attending in full force with our latest and greatest in global gaming solutions, complete with our track record as one of the world’s leading suppliers.
“As the provider of choice across LatAm and Spanish markets, we’re able to offer an unbeatable range of games, solutions and tech products that ensure our partners are leaders in every market they operate in. Whether you’re a start-up, established operator or a retail business looking to break into online, drop by our stand!

EGT Launches Linked United Platform

EGT has launched Linked United, an innovative platform aiming to redefine profitability and immersion in gaming establishments in Spain. This product marks a significant milestone in the company’s strategy to enhance the performance of bingo and gambling halls across one of the most important European markets.
Linked United enables the seamless interconnection of numerous products at a single station, thus creating a more dynamic and engaging entertainment network. The platform enables operators to integrate popular titles from EGT’s portfolio, such as Bell Link Plus, Gods & Kings Link and Sands Princess, along with exciting new offerings. The company plans to include all releases launched on the local market from now on in Linked United.
A key differentiator of the platform is its innovative shared Grand Jackpot system: a single, progressive level, involving all interconnected games within a group. This way, players’ chances of hitting enormous winnings increase manifold, which generates unparalleled vibrancy in the gaming hall.
Along with enriching the gaming journey, the product also contributes to increasing operational efficiency through space optimization, allowing a greater variety of games to be offered in a smaller area. Linked United also stands out with its impressive flexibility in terms of installation, as it enables venues to adjust the game mix based on performance and tailor it to the specific preferences of their customers.
Linked United brings a number of advantages for operators. First, it increases perceived value for players thanks to the wider diversity of game offerings and the irresistible appeal of the unified GRAND Jackpot, which results in enhancing the overall experience and building loyalty. Second, this leads to extended playing sessions, as more dynamic and connected entertainment encourages players to prolong their visits. Third, it allows for maximum leveraging of existing hardware investment, as Linked United integrates with current infrastructure, which optimizes costs while extending equipment lifespan. Finally, operators benefit from significant cost savings by proposing more games per station and utilizing space efficiently.
Diego Scotti, Sales Director of EGT Spain, said: “We are at a turning point in our market strategy. With Linked United, we are not just connecting games; we are opening the doors to an ecosystem of unlimited possibilities. It’s a strategic response to our operators’ demand for solutions that not only captivate their clients but also maximize their return on investment in a tangible way.”
