MGA Games, experts in developing and distributing localised content for online casino operators, have turned famous actress and television presenter Maria Lapiedra into the latest croupier in their Grand Croupier Roulette game.

The authentic Greek goddess, Maria Lapiedra, welcomes players to her temple, guiding them in the roulette game like any good croupier. Players will love the realistic photography and special 3D scenes set in Ancient Greece that MGA Games used to produce the game.

María Lapiedra joins the cast of famous artists and personalities such as El Dioni, Sonia Monroy, Rebeca, and Chiquito, and for whom MGA Games hold intellectual property rights for their inclusion in the Grand Croupier Roulette table game. The original voiceover of Maria encourages and accompanies players while they play.

Grand Croupier Roulette from MGA Games is the first localised roulette game in the gambling sector that unites the European RNG roulette version with the MGA Games’ Spanish Celebrities concept. An original idea especially conceived for the Spanish market based on popular characters familiar to the general public.

This MGA Games roulette game uses a 3D engine unrivalled in the market. It also has multi-environment, multi-character options and is marketed in multiple languages, making it available to online casinos around the world.

Among other technical specifications for Grand Croupier Roulette, it is worth noting its top ratio of games per hour feature, the Quick Bet mode and ‘Turbo’ mode, as well as the configurable bet values. The game also offers the option for monitoring games and consulting statistics in real-time.

And in its mobile version, María Lapiedra Grand Croupier Roulette gives an admirable, fully immersive experience thanks to MGA Games’ Triple View design and the excellent usability of its menus and ergonomic buttons that adapt to any device.

The supplier is nominated for Game Aggregator of the Year and Employer of the Year ahead of SBC Summit Malta on April 29.

Alea has been named a finalist in two categories at the upcoming SBC Awards Europe: Game Aggregator of the Year and Employer of the Year. The company announced the nominations on April 28 from Barcelona.

Founder Alexandre Tomic said the double shortlisting reflects a link between product delivery and company culture. “If people don’t care about what they’re building, it shows immediately. In the product, in the details, everywhere. Reliability can’t be bolted on later, it’s a consequence of that care.”

“We’ve spent years building a team that takes ownership and holds a certain standard. Seeing both nominations together just tells me we’re doing something right.” Tomic added.

The news comes ahead of SBC Summit Malta, where Alea said Tomic and COO Ramon Glieneke will take part in conference sessions on April 29. Tomic is scheduled to appear on “Casino vs Sports: Can Gamification Truly Cross Over?” while Glieneke is due to join “The COO Horizon: Challenges and Opportunities in 2026/27.”

Alea said its wider team will be onsite throughout the summit at Booth D22.
