MGA Games launch Areválo, its latest Spanish Celebrities slot with a comedic spin
Arévalo joins the series of comedians including Chiquito de la Calzada and Señor Barragán in having an MGA Games online slot created in their image.
“A joke is a very serious thing, especially when it helps boost product sales and attract users’ attention”.
Francisco Rodríguez Iglesias, known by his stage name Arévalo, is the latest comedian to become an online slot thanks to MGA Games. The company’s new slot is available for Spanish operators from Monday 15 June and joins the cast of top-selling MGA Games slots starring other personalities who have played a role in Spanish comedy history, such as Chiquito de la Calzada and Señor Barragán.
The slot developed by MGA Games gives an overview of the comedian and actor’s career and recreates some of his most memorable moments through MGA Games’ popular mini-games, of which there are 5. As players will notice, the slot is centered around two different periods of Arévalo’s life. The first is based on his early years, alluding to his work as a comedian bullfighter in Latin America, his rise to fame after starring in Un, dos, tres … responda otra vez, the most successful game show in the history of Spanish television, the roaring success of his live shows across Spain, and his roles in various films. Players will also come across references to Arévalo’s more contemporary life, as it features images of his day-to-day in Valencia where he lives. Recent years have seen him starring on the stage as ever, appearing in many plays, and participating in various reality shows and television programmes.
His career as a comedian which has spanned nearly 40 years has made him one of the most beloved and endearing comedians in Spain. With the creation of the Arévalo slot, MGA Games have made a slot game that perfectly matches the character’s own personality traits, featuring some of his idiosyncratic lines and jokes, voiced by Arévalo himself. The comedian has been actively involved in the slot’s production, the end product is a game replete with his fantastic sense of humour, users won’t be able to contain their laughter.
“Winston Churchill said it well: a joke is a very serious thing,” notes Joan Sanahuja CEO of MGA Games. “This is especially so when it helps boost product sales and attract users’ attention,” he concludes. “We fully embrace this approach and humour and fun always play an important role in our productions. We develop products that are flawless on a technological level, highly competitive and that also put a smile on players’ faces.”
Arévalo, like the entire collection of MGA Games productions, features top-quality graphics and optimal usability for gaming on any mobile device. The title is a 3-reel slot and has 5 original mini-games that help users accumulate more prizes. With medium volatility, the slot allows minimum bets of €0.20 and maximum bets of €10, with a maximum prize of €10,000.

Former WBC cruiserweight champion to appear at PartyPoker Tour UK stops and take part in online activations.
PartyPoker has appointed former WBC Cruiserweight World Champion Tony Bellew as a brand ambassador for the remainder of 2026, with appearances tied to the operator’s live PartyPoker Tour and online poker offering.
The company said Bellew will be “a regular face” at its remaining UK tour stops this season following an earlier appearance at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. Bellew will also take part in online activity linked to the PartyPoker schedule.
“I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me,” Bellew said.
PartyPoker said Bellew is scheduled to attend each remaining UK stop on the 2026 PartyPoker Tour: London in July, Glasgow in August, Cork in November, and London in December. The operator also referenced a series of exclusive online events running alongside the live calendar.

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.
The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.
In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.
“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”
The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.
For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.
The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.

I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me.”
