New dawn for R. Franco brand as it replaces its sportsbook provider for SBTech to fulfill true revenue potential; Trouble in Spain for Kambi?

SBTech, the leading technology supplier to the regulated iGaming sector, has boosted its presence further in Europe by securing a long-term sportsbook deal that will propel R. Franco’s Wanabet.es brand into the ‘Big League’ through its migration to SBTech’s best-in-class revenue-driving quality sportsbook.

Marking further success for SBTech in the sales process, this high quality, visionary operator has migrated from its existing provider to SBTech’s market-ready sportsbook, known for its flexibility and extensive coverage. The deal marks the second time a Spanish facing brand has migrated from its current provider.

The move allows Wanabet.es to deliver the ultimate personalised online sports betting experience and truly fulfill its market potential in Spain. Using SBTech’s powerful, multi-award winning sportsbook, Wanabet will have greater control of risk management driving their sports that will maximise the brand’s revenue potential and take it to new heights not previously experienced with their former provider.

The success of SBTech’s localised approach has seen additional partners such as Luckia and Bethard outperform their competitors in Spain, whilst other sportsbook providers struggle to perform in the market. The announcement also further signifies SBTech’s commitment to driving growth with premium B2B gaming partners in Europe.

Andrew Cochrane, Chief Development Officer at SBTech, said:

“The migration of yet another visionary brand to SBTech is testament to not only our innovative product offering, but also the strength of our commercial and product teams throughout a rigorous sales process. We look forward to working closely with R. Franco to take them to the next level of performance through our industry-leading, market-ready sportsbook.

“The migration process can often appear daunting for an operator, but our extensive experience in what has now been multiple successful migrations to the SBTech sportsbook created the perfect foundation for R. Franco to seamlessly migrate to SBTech. This is the first of many we can expect to see during 2020.”

Javier Sacristán Franco, Digital and Operations Director of R. Franco, added: “Spain is a rapidly evolving and growing market and to build on our success we knew we had to take our offering to the next level. We firmly believe that SBTech’s best-in-class sportsbook will enable us to achieve this and futureproof the business for many years to come.”

Daring masterminds launch train robbery to take home big prizes

Playson, the fast-growing digital entertainment supplier, is taking players on the wildest adventure of their life in its debut Western-themed title Arizona Heist: Hold and Win.

A weathered team of criminals feature as symbols in this unpredictable slot. A revolver, backpack, and boozy supplies are all packed ready for this adrenaline-fuelled heist.

The high-energy mission is reflected in three Bonus Game boosters. The Plus booster reveals a random value of up to x10 and adds it to each symbol below it. The Multiplier randomly multiplies up to x10 and adds to all icons on the grid. The Gold booster transforms one Bonus symbol into a Bonus Gold symbol on the reel below. Additionally, the Collect feature collects all values from Bonus and Bonus Gold symbols during the Bonus Game.

In-game jackpots return in the form of a golden safe. Collecting two, three, four or five Bonus Gold symbols during the Bonus Game offers one of four corresponding jackpots. Two Bonus Gold symbols triggers a mini jackpot of x20, three symbols award a x50 minor jackpot, the major jackpot of x100 lands if four symbols are achieved. The grand jackpot of x5,000 is given if five Bonus Gold symbols appear.

The Double feature results from filling all 20 positions in the Bonus Game and doubles all symbol values.

Reflecting the scene of the crime, three or more train Scatters symbols trigger 10 free spins. A further three trains during free spins issues a further five free spins.  During the free spins round, Wild symbols multiply all combinations they are part of, with the Wilds’ multiplier amounts depending on how many Scatters appear. For three Scatters, the Wild offers x2, for four it is x3 and for five it is x5.

The Extra Bonus feature grants a chance of adding Bonus symbols in quantity enough or more to activate the Bonus Game during the Main Game or Free Spins.

Play’n GO and Benny Bunny invite players to an egg-filled valley of rewards in Easter Eggspedition.

In this 5×3 online slot, players are invited to join in on the Easter adventure by exploring a chocolate-filled wonderland filled with exciting rewards such as Guaranteed Scatters, Free Spins and Instant Prizes.

This slot follows the story of our hero Benny Bunny and his adversary, the canine known simply as ‘Fox’ competing to collect chocolate eggs in the enchanted valley. Hop along and join the egg hunt to discover delicious payouts waiting for players on the reels. Thematically, this title is cut from the same iconic cloth as older Play’n GO Animal Slot classics such as Rocco Gallo (2022) and Easter-themed thrills like Easter Eggs (2015).

In terms of gameplay, this title boasts a wide variety of tasty, chocolate-coated treats for gamers to indulge in. On every spin, there’s a possibility of Guaranteed Scatters. This increases the chances of activating the Bonus Feature and provides an exciting experience for the player, blending the excitement of the chase with the slot mechanics.

To activate the Bonus Feature, players need to hop across the reels and get three Easter Eggs Baskets. If successful, the feature will award players with three Free Spins.

In this feature, each symbol landed resets the counter back to three. Players can win instant prizes, Multipliers, or get the Fox or Benny Bunny symbol. If gamers win the Instant Prize, their win will be added to the Cash Pot. If they get the Benny Bunny symbol, they’ll will be awarded the Cash Pot. On the other hand, if they get the Fox symbol, the Cash Pot will be reset. If both symbols are present, players have the chance to win a large payout.

If both Benny Bunny and the dastardly Fox land at the same time, Benny will fight off the Fox and reward players with the Cash Pot, resetting the spins to three. The Bonus Feature will end after three consecutive Free Spins without The Bunny or an Easter Egg landing on the reels.

Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, Magnus Wallentin said: “At Play’n GO we love a quality seasonal title, and Easter Eggspedition is just that. This slot is jam-packed with quality features, including the narrative-driven Cash Pot features that pits the Fox against Benny Bunny, Guaranteed Scatters and the Instant Prizes feature, making this title well and truly immersive.”

With a wide array of features, tight animation and an immersive theme that can be enjoyed all year round – Easter Eggspedition is the full package.
