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.

ELA Games has released a new slot, Age of Cleopatra, adding another ancient-Egypt theme title to its portfolio. The studio positions the game as a medium-volatility release and says it is available to demo now.

Age of Cleopatra runs on a 5×3 reel set-up with 25 paylines. ELA Games lists RTP at 93.75% / 95.73%, with Buy Bonus RTP at 93.8% / 95.9%. The maximum win is x5000, according to the company.

In the base game, a Collect Symbol gathers coin prizes visible on the screen, while “colored coins” charge pyramids that can unlock additional value, ELA Games said. The slot’s Hold & Win Bonus Game awards three respins by default (or four in an “Extra Respin” version), with modifiers tied to collected coins.

Features named by the studio include Multipliers, Extra Respins, and an Expand Grid mechanic that increases the layout from 3×5 to 5×5. ELA Games also states that multiple features can trigger at the same time.

“You can’t do justice to a legendary theme with just background art. Building a world around Cleopatra meant it had to feel truly authentic, a standard we apply to all our releases. At ELA Games, we consistently look beyond the visuals to craft an original universe, keeping storytelling through the mechanics at the center of our titles.” Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director at ELA Games.

Wildz Group brand Tuplaus has won the Slotsoo Finland Casino Awards 2026 “Pelillistämispäällikö” (Gamification Manager) title, according to a company announcement dated July 2026 from Ta ‘Xbiex, Malta.

Slotsoo’s organisers said: “Only a casino that has taken the gambling experience to a whole new level can be called a gamification manager.” Judges added that Tuplaus delivers “multidimensional gaming moments” that are “far from the monotonous spinning of classic slot machines”.

The judges also highlighted consistency in Tuplaus’ use of gamification from onboarding onwards. They said that “even with the welcome bonus, the player gets to progress step by step and unlock new benefits along the way, and not all the prizes fall into your lap at once. When you add in other promotions and gaming elements, the whole thing feels much more alive than the usual casino experience. Tuplaus shows that the best bonuses are not always the biggest, but they can also be the most fun”.

The company said the Slotsoo accolades assess “hundreds of brands” across multiple categories.

Tuplaus launched in 2025, when Wildz Group CEO Sam Brown said: “We’re exceptionally proud of this new product that will serve our players with the latest online casino experience. Our existing products, Wildz, Wheelz, Spinz, Caxino and Chipz already enjoy a convincing market share, and we’re optimistic that Tuplaus will meet with the same enthusiasm. We have a wide range of player rewards, bonuses, boosts, and more, [and] we’re confident players will love the latest addition to the Wildz Group family of online casinos.”

In the release, Tuplaus also pointed to Pay & Play functionality, no-registration onboarding, a catalogue of games from third-party providers, and frequent promotions as parts of its product proposition.

Swintt has released a new slot from its Elysium Studios label, titled Odyssey Hold & Win. The supplier said the game is built around a Hold & Win collection mechanic and features a stated maximum win of 3,317x.

Odyssey Hold & Win runs on a 4×4 grid that can expand to 4×8 when Athena appears, according to the company. The theme draws on Greek mythology, with symbols including Odysseus, Calypso, Poseidon and Circe.

The core mechanic collects and pays all cash symbols on the reels whenever Odysseus lands, Swintt said. The release also includes a respin-style feature where three Athena symbols expand the grid, mirror cash values and award three respins, with the counter resetting when new cash symbols land.

A Free Spins feature triggers with three scatters and awards 10 spins, with cash symbols locking until collected, the company said. During Free Spins, Poseidon can combine all cash values into a single icon, Circe can add a random number of cash symbols, and Athena and Calypso can add spins or respins under specific conditions.

Anthony Dalla-Giacoma, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “The Odyssey is one of the most enduring tales of hardship, adventure and homecoming, making it the perfect inspiration for a slot that’s packed with memorable characters and exciting feature potential.

“With expanding reels, locked cash symbols, divine modifiers and wins of up to 3,317x, Odyssey Hold & Win is a fittingly epic addition to the Elysium Studios line-up and a title we believe will appeal strongly to operators looking to offer players a fresh take on Greek mythology.”
