Popeye, cazatesoros disembarks in Spanish online casinos
The strongest and most charismatic sailor worldwide begins sailing with the crew of MGA Games along online casino platforms in Spain. After the success of Flash Gordon and Mr. Magnificent, MGA Games, the expert developer in localised product for global operators, has chosen the legendary comic book character to create Popeye, cazatesoros.
The husky character first appeared in a comic strip in January 1929, but its popularity was such that it was quickly adapted to film. Its trajectory includes up to five television series and a movie that has become a cult film. Nowadays, and in better shape than ever, the mythical strongman continues to flex muscle and has transformed into a Spanish slot game, together with his girlfriend Olivia and the villain Brutus.
MGA Games, which owns the rights of the characters, has managed to perfectly reproduce the image of Popeye and his friends with an exceptional graphic quality and a groundbreaking style that provides dynamism to the characters and revives the favorite sailor of our childhood, with his tattoos, his pipe and his powerful spinach.
Excellent graphics are combined with the musical creation and the carefully crafted sound effects, with producer, Quique Tejada, in charge of the project. The result is a fully immersive experience that completely engages the player in a grand new adventure.
Popeye, cazatesoros also includes the popular mini-games by MGA Games that provide greater fun and entertainment to online casino users. On this occasion, after obtaining a prize from the figure symbols “Popeye”, “Brutus” and “Olivia”, the players will gain access to the map where they can freely choose from 4 minigames: Isla pirata, Desierto, Naufragio and Isla dorada.
The latest production by MGA Games will officially be launched in the Spanish market today Monday, March 30.

Octoplay Goes Live in Michigan
Octoplay is now live in Michigan across BetMGM, FanDuel, Fanatics, and Rush Street Interactive, marking the company’s second U.S. state and largest coordinated market entry to date. The simultaneous go-live with four tier-one operators arrives less than six months after Octoplay’s United States debut in New Jersey.
Since its founding in October 2022, Octoplay has secured active licenses across thirteen regulated jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, New Jersey, Ontario, Michigan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Malta, Italy, Greece, Romania, and Slovakia. Michigan extends that momentum into the U.S. As one of the top three states by iGaming revenue, it represents a significant market, and Octoplay enters it with four tier-one operators live from day one.
“Just months after our New Jersey debut, Michigan represents the next phase of our U.S. expansion,” says Ralitsa Georgieva, Director of Business Development at Octoplay. “Launching simultaneously with four leading operators shows the confidence the market has in our content. We expect to carry this momentum into additional states throughout 2025.”
Earlier this year, Octoplay ranked first among U.S. rising suppliers by overall index in H1 according to Eilers & Krejcik, underscoring the company’s accelerating trajectory. With Michigan now live and additional state applications in progress, Octoplay is positioned to extend its North American footprint throughout 2025 and beyond.
