Developer of slots with a German accent continues to expand into additional regulated markets with integration facilitated by Pariplay

The Apparat Gaming team is enjoying sangria and sunshine after the developer made its move into the Spanish market for the first time via a breakthrough partnership with Paf.

The deal brings a distinctly German touch to Paf’s Spanish game offering, with seven of the developer’s most popular slots now available to its players.

This includes classic and video slot titles such as 40 Sevens, Total Eclipse, Fruit Storm, The Warlock’s Book, Pharaoh Princess, 7 Supernova Fruits and Jack Potter & The Book of Dynasties, all of which have just been certified for the market.

The integration with Paf has been facilitated by Pariplay and its powerful Ignite Platform, allowing Paf to add Apparat Gaming’s titles to its lobby seamlessly.

Apparat Gaming has achieved great recognition in the market with its suite of slots developed with a German accent. Each game captures what it means to be German – solid engineering, augenweide (eye candy) and no sense of humour whatsoever.

This combination has been a big hit with players in regulated markets across Europe, from Apparat’s home market of Germany to Switzerland and the UK. The developer now expects to replicate this success in sunny Spain.

Martin Frindt, Chief Product Officer at Apparat Gaming, said: “We are focussed on regulated markets and in Spain, we have a jurisdiction that presents tremendous opportunities.

“We could not ask for a better launch partner than Paf, and Pariplay has proven once again that it is one of the best companies in the industry when it comes to integrations for regulated markets.

“Although in the football world, the competition between Spain and Germany is clearly decided against us in both the men’s and women’s categories at the moment, but when it comes to online casinos, we believe that Apparat’s German-accented slot machines will prove popular with our Spanish players.

Eric Castro, Head of Games Content at Paf, added: “The studio titles are distinct and great fun to play, and we are thrilled to see them land in our lobby and line up alongside the other quality games we offer to players in Spain.”

Ashley Bloor, Director of Partnerships at Pariplay, said: “The partnership between Apparat Gaming and Paf underscores the powerful capabilities of our Ignite Platform. Through this collaboration, it’s evident that our services not only provide significant added value for both operators and suppliers but also pave the way to new regulated markets and opportunities for our valued partners”.

Modernization adds Momentum ecosystem tools and rolls out new terminals and self-service machines to 1,000+ retailers statewide.

Scientific Games has completed a technology systems conversion for the New Mexico Lottery, modernizing lottery operations with a new gaming system and rolling out retail technology to more than 1,000 locations across the state. The update went live May 11, 2026, according to the company.

Scientific Games said the new system now powers the Lottery’s draw-based and Scratchers’ sales and is designed to simplify product management for retailers. The conversion also includes the launch of the Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership (SGEP) instant game management program, which the company said combines analytics, logistics, retail optimization and product strategy.

“The New Mexico Lottery is officially live with new, modern technology systems that work together to enhance all aspects of our operations and ensure we are well-positioned for our next era of growth,” said David Barden, CEO of the New Mexico Lottery. “We’ve strategically planned every step of this holistic modernization effort with Scientific Games to intelligently operate our retail network, making our Scratchers games easier for retailers to manage in their stores and easily accessible to our valued players.”

Scientific Games said the conversion was developed over the past year and is built on its Momentum ecosystem. Components cited include an advanced central gaming system, the SciTrak instant game distribution system, the gem | intelligence retailer licensing and management portal and the INFUSE business intelligence platform. The company said WAVE clerk-operated terminals and PlayCentral self-service machines will be deployed to retailers in planned phases.

“Congratulations to the New Mexico Lottery for building upon our long-standing instant scratch game partnership, embracing innovation for the future,” said John Schulz, President of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games. “We are proud to serve as the Lottery’s full-line partner and help drive maximum proceeds for New Mexico college students.”
