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.

GoldenRace fuels growth in Europe with renewed MGA certification
GoldenRace, leading provider of award-winning Virtual Sports and betting solutions, is thrilled to announce the renewal of its Maltese certification, successfully tested by BMM lab and approved by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). This renewed certification keeps unlocking opportunities in Romania, Poland, Serbia and other MGA-regulated territories, giving operators a golden ticket to tap into new revenue streams in highly regulated markets.
In Romania, where 88% of the population has internet access, the online gambling market is thriving, offering significant opportunities for operators to attract a tech-savvy audience. Serbia, ranked 8th in Europe for gambling revenue, continues its rapid expansion with over 2,200 betting shops and a flourishing online gambling sector. Meanwhile, Poland’s well-regulated and mature market is a compelling destination for operators seeking sustainable growth.
Any games that have been approved under its newly recertified license in Malta, are also eligible for inclusion under its Class II license in Romania, upon the successful completion of the ONJN approval process. While this certification eases the path in these markets, local regulators may require additional approvals. Operators are advised to present these certifications to their respective regulatory authorities to ensure seamless compliance.
Markets on the rise demand winning content
Compliance may open the door, but content is what keeps players loyal. GoldenRace is helping operators target new demographics and grow market share by offering an incredible portfolio of certified games.
In markets such as Romania and Serbia, football is the main revenue force. GoldenRace continues to dominate this space with its newly certified football games, including its most new football format and games such as Football League, World Cup, Euro tournaments (Champions League & Euro League), La Libertadores and Single Soccer.
With online sports betting making up 58% of Romania’s gambling market and Serbia’s sports betting sector projected to grow by 4.93% between 2025 and 2029, GoldenRace has certified games such as Penalt2Win, Basketball 3×3, Horse and Greyhound racing, MMA (Single & Tournament) and several thrilling motor racing titles, such as Grand Prix Indianapolis 60, Motorbike and Speedway racing.
Eastern Europe’s enduring love for number-based games creates another profitable avenue for operators. Certified games such as Keno & Keno Deluxe, Spin2Win (Royale & American) and Perfect6 are designed to meet the unique preferences of players in these regions.
Insights show that players in Poland and neighboring regions prioritise financial rewards, with 56% listing it as their top motivator for gambling. For those players seeking big payouts potential, Crash Games are leading the charge. After a stellar debut in GoldenRace’s Crashmas campaign, games like Jet Escape, Boom Ball Juggle, Fire Crash, Bank Run and Meteoroid are now part of the certified portfolio.
