“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.

Tonybet says a player in Laurier-Station, Canada has claimed the “golden card” prize worth $20,000 CAD in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection. The announcement was made Tuesday 21st July 2026.

The World Cup collection featured 51 cards in total, including 48 digital cards representing participating World Cup nations, plus three unique prize cards in bronze, silver and gold. Tonybet said the bronze card—available during the group stage—was previously found by a customer in Saint-Colomban, Canada, while the silver card—available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals—was won by a player in County Kildare, Ireland.

The golden card became available for the semi-final, third-place play-off and final, and has now been claimed, Tonybet said.

Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “You can plan a campaign down to the last detail, but you can’t plan what the World Cup brings.

“We designed the collection to evolve with the tournament, and every knockout round created new stories we couldn’t have predicted. Seeing players complete their collections and discovering who would uncover each prize was the most rewarding part of the campaign.

“I hope everyone enjoyed the experience for what it was meant to be: a fun addition to the tournament, played responsibly and always within their limits.”

Tonybet said the collection will remain open until 31 July for players who are still completing sets and spending coins, although all grand prizes have been awarded.
