MGA Games launches its online version of the unrivalled roulette game Magic Red developed by SMI2000
MGA Games, specialists in developing and distributing premium content for online casinos, continues to back the conversion and marketing of top-of-the-line gaming products for the digital market. On this occasion, and as announced on MGA Games Day, the company is bringing the successful Magic Red Roulette to the online universe, the renowned land-based roulette game currently being played in over 6,000 installations in gambling halls and casinos around the world.
This achievement has been possible thanks to the agreement with SMI2000, the manufacturing company from Barcelona that launched the land-based roulette game in mid-2013, and who is responsible for developing this new version.
The collaboration between both companies has been remarkable, and further success is to come. Javier Lanfranchi, Sales Director of MGA Games, comments: “We are sure that Magic Red will be an ideal complement for online casino operators. It is a great new gaming experience that, due to the success of its predecessor land-based version played in gambling halls around the world, we can safely say that this roulette game will excite online casino users.”
“To ensure that Magic Red meets customer requirements and expectations, the machine has been tried and tested by various operators and players. This has helped the development team to deliver a product with the MGA Games seal of quality” says Lanfranchi.
According to Josep Barbal, CEO of SMI2000: “It is a magnificent opportunity to enter into the world of online casinos hand-in-hand with MGA Games and extend the framework of collaborations that we have already had with the MGA Group for many years. We are sure that in the same way that MGA Industrial made Magic, Luxury, and Compact roulette games the benchmark for the land-based gaming market, we will now endeavour to do the same for online casinos.”
“Whatsmore, we are already working on new projects to accompany this product very soon. We will be making it possible for users to interact even more with the games, customising them to their liking, and acquiring exclusive products that will distinguish our games like never before seen in online casinos,” says Barbal.
The digital version of Magic Red Roulette is true to the physical game-based panel design found on machines in gaming venues. The button panel design mimics perfectly that of the roulette wheel, offering a casino quality standard, a well-thought-out user interface, and superior screen design, with the player’s comfort always in mind.
The game also stands out for its ease of use and virtual and intuitive information. The user can quickly access statistical data of the games, see their winnings and even customise the background of the roulette table. Its optimised agility and responsive design also allow quick 20-30 second games on a mobile, anytime, anywhere.
The long-awaited Magic Red Roulette game is now available for online casino operators throughout Spain on the MGA Games platform.

Pascal Gaming signs Ronaldinho for football-themed crash and slot titles
First release is Avinho R10, followed by June launch Fortune Ronaldinho as the studio lines up more titles ahead of the World Cup season.
Pascal Gaming has partnered with Brazilian football player Ronaldinho to launch a dedicated portfolio of games inspired by the athlete, the company said on 26 May, 2026.
The planned pipeline includes crash games, slots and additional titles set to roll out through the year. Pascal Gaming said the initiative is aimed at both Brazil and international markets, and will be supported by tournaments, promotional activity and special events tied to the Ronaldinho-branded portfolio.
The first game confirmed is Avinho R10, described as a crash-style title featuring Ronaldinho “above Brazil” in an aviation-themed experience. A second game, Fortune Ronaldinho, is scheduled for release in June and is positioned as a slot-inspired title.
“Ronaldinho is one of the most recognisable and loved football personalities in the world, so for us this collaboration is much more than a game launch. It is a global entertainment project that combines football culture, emotionally engaging gameplay and strong promotional activities ahead of the World Cup,” said Armen Mnaskanian, Head of Sales at SoftConstruct Gaming Content.
Pascal Gaming said it has been expanding its crash game portfolio during 2026 and investing in localised, character-driven content across Latin America, Africa and Asia. The company added that more Ronaldinho-themed titles and marketing campaigns will be revealed in the coming months.

Duelbits signs Justin Gaethje for branded content ahead of UFC Freedom 250
The JUSTIN2026 campaign was shot in Denver and rolls out over four weeks ahead of the 14 June event at the White House.
Duelbits has launched a branded content campaign with UFC interim Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje, timed to UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Saturday 14th June.
The campaign, branded JUSTIN2026, was shot on location in Denver, Colorado by UK-based creative agency YRDS. Duelbits said the content is designed as a “premium, cinematic series” and will roll out in phases over the next four weeks, peaking on event day.
According to the company, the campaign was planned before UFC Freedom was officially confirmed. Duelbits framed the early commitment as part of a strategy to move faster than traditional sportsbooks around major cultural moments.
“We didn’t want to create another sportsbook promo,” said Jasper Hoekert, Chief Marketing Officer at Duelbits. “We wanted to create something that combat sports fans want to watch, content built around Justin’s authenticity and intensity, not just his fight record. We were planning this before the White House event was even officially confirmed. When you believe in the magnitude of a moment, you don’t wait for permission to act on it.”
“Duelbits came to me with a vision, not just a brief,” said Gaethje. “They wanted to create something that reflected the reality of what I do and who I am, with no smoke and mirrors. When a brand shows up with that kind of conviction and creative ambition, you back it. This campaign is going to be something people remember.”

PokerStars Open Namur returns May 27 with €1m guaranteed Main Event
Belgium stop at Circus Casino Resort Namur runs May 27–June 7 and adds PokerStars Live League points toward a €157,500 credit pool.
PokerStars will bring PokerStars Open Namur back to Circus Casino Resort Namur from May 27 to June 7, with the festival returning one day after the operator’s May 26 announcement.
The stop follows a 2025 edition PokerStars said was record-breaking for Belgium, including 1,571 entries in the Main Event and what it called the largest live tournament prize pool in Belgian poker history.
This year’s schedule is headlined by the €1,100 PokerStars Open Main Event, which carries a €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Other listed highlights include the €400 PokerStars Open Cup (May 27-31), €3,300 Super High Roller (June 1-2), €2,200 High Roller (June 5-6), and €800 Mystery Bounty (June 6-7).
“Last year’s turnout reinforced Namur’s place as one of the most exciting live poker stops in Europe,” said Cedric Billot, Associate Director of Live Events Operations at PokerStars. “What makes the event special isn’t just the size of the fields, it’s the atmosphere around the entire festival.”
PokerStars also positioned Namur as a scoring stop in the PokerStars Live League, which awards points across High, Medium and Low leaderboard tiers. PokerStars said players are competing for a share of €157,500 in PokerStars LIVE event credit, with the top 30 players in each tier qualifying for a €100,000 freeroll at the first European Poker Tour festival of 2027.
