Iforium and MGA Games announce a content agreement
GA Games productions will soon be shown on the GameflexTM platform on Iforium
The slots and video bingo games developed by the Spanish company MGA Games will be integrated on the GameflexTM platform, thanks to an agreement reached with the company Iforium.
Iforium customers from all over the world will be able to enjoy the best MGA Games publications, with a wide range of options. This includes casino slot machines games like the Hyperrealism Series by MGA Games, which includes titles like Gold Mermaid by Renata González and GT World Challenge by Andy Soucek; famous Spanish slot machine games like El Cartel and Las Riquezas de El Dorado, as well as the Spanish Celebrities series, available for the Spanish market, which features titles like Chiquito, El Dioni and Aramís Fuster, among many others. This comes in addition to video bingo games, which range from the latest releases such as Calaca Party, to classics like Castle, Zeus and Mariachis.
Spanish-based MGA Games is an online casino game producer that specialises in providing global operators with products that suit the tastes of local players. Its titles incorporate the latest technology: sequential loading removes wait times and means the game can be played immediately, while “Triple Vista” improves usability and adaptive menus allow the games to be played on all kinds of devices. All of this provides users with a new 100% mobile gaming experience.
According to José Antonio Giacomelli, MGA Games General Manager: “The agreement offers an excellent collaboration opportunity for both parties: the quality and profitability of MGA Games’ products also fits perfectly with Iforium’s commitment to users, which focuses on regulated markets and complies with an ever-strict quality framework.”
The CEO of Iforium, Phil Parry, says: “The Spanish market needs no introduction, while LatAm is going live at a rapid rate as markets regulate. We see this deal as the ideal approach for ensuring our operator partners are able to offer some of Spain’s best gaming content.
“We are thrilled to be working with a highly innovative developer such as MGA Games and look forward to a long and productive working relationship.”
The announcement of the agreement comes days before the ICE London 2020 international conference, which will be attended by leading companies from the gaming sector, including MGA Games and Iforium.

Quixant to Exhibit at ICE 2025
Following a strong showing at G2E 2024 in Las Vegas, where Quixant highlighted its expanded range of processors and graphics configurations for its QMAX 3 hardware platform and launched the IQ Connect, the company looks forward to continuing its tradition of showcasing breakthrough technology at ICE. From cost-effective and powerful options like the IQ range, to the robust and reliable IQON range, all the way to the maximum power and performance of the QMAX range, Quixant’s Intel and AMD-based platforms span a spectrum of power, performance and cost requirements to meet the unique needs of gaming businesses worldwide.
Known for its customisable design and easy serviceability, the QMAX 3 sets new standards in gaming hardware. Launching the enhanced offering to the European market for the first time at ICE, the product now features processor options that include a budget-friendly Celeron for cost-conscious projects, alongside higher-performance Intel Core i5 and i7 options. The product also allows customers to choose configurations with or without a discrete GPU (dGPU), enabling them to tailor graphics capabilities to project needs. This flexibility empowers game developers to strike the ideal balance between performance, power and budget, making it an unparalleled solution for diverse market demands.
Returning to ICE by popular demand, Quixant’s IQ 2 platform is designed to offer powerful, cost-effective performance for a range of gaming applications. It is proving to be the ideal solution for delivering high-quality gaming experiences at a budget-friendly price.
Also to be highlighted at the Quixant booth are its embedded Software Suite solutions, which provide game developers a comprehensive toolset to optimise the game development process, simplify deployment, ensure compliance and maintain robust security. The solutions allow developers to focus on creating immersive player experiences, in the confidence that the technical aspects are covered by Quixant’s range of solutions.
Quixant’s newly launched IQ Connect 1 will also be showcased at the booth, a platform which was designed for the North American route and distributed gaming market and other markets that require a JAMMA connector. Equipped with advanced JAMMA expansion capabilities, it is an ideal fit for cabinets and kiosks requiring JAMMA connectors, seamlessly integrating flexibility, power and affordability into one solution. The product is positioned to elevate gaming experiences in cost-sensitive markets without sacrificing performance.

With ICE moving to Barcelona, it is a new era, and we are eager to support our customers with game-changing technology, robust supply chain solutions, and our embedded Software Suite that comprehensively addresses power, performance, security, and regulatory compliance. Our goal is to make it simpler, faster, and more cost-effective for gaming leaders to bring their vision to life.”
Price continued: “ICE 2025 arrives at a pivotal time for the gaming industry, particularly in Latin America. With Brazil’s sports betting legalization set to take effect this January and land-based gaming legislation advancing, regional growth opportunities are growing. As we prepare to meet with our LatAm customers and prospects at the show, we are committed to supporting this expansion with adaptable, cost-effective hardware solutions designed to help clients succeed in these evolving markets.”
Price concluded: “To help our customers stay ahead in Brazil as the regulatory landscape unfolds, Quixant has partnered strategically with Novatrade to ensure a secure supply chain with stock held in Brazil. This partnership simplifies regulatory compliance and reduces costs for both Quixant and its customers. With local operations and a bonded warehouse, we can defer import duties and taxes, while dual stock locations in Brazil and Taiwan allow for quick fulfilment. Additionally, issuing local invoices in Brazilian Reais makes the purchasing process seamless for our customers.”
Michael Minor, SVP Sales & Operations, North America for Nexteq PLC, said: “Our focus at Quixant has always been to drive innovation in gaming technology, equipping our global customers with the solutions they need to excel in a highly competitive industry. With each new generation of products, we aim to empower our customers to create even more memorable gaming experiences, backed by technology that is as adaptable as it is powerful. With the introduction of solutions like the enhanced QMAX 3, the IQ 2, and the IQ Connect 1, we are positioned to empower our global partners with the technology and flexibility they need to succeed in this dynamic landscape.”
Minor continued: “We are thrilled to bring the IQ Connect 1 to ICE, giving industry professionals another opportunity to experience how this innovative platform complements our product portfolio. The product is a transformative addition for the North American market. By combining the compact and high-performance design of the IQ 2 with advanced JAMMA functionality, we have created a platform that stands out for its versatility, power, and cost-effectiveness.”
