Yesterday night in Ceuta, the Spanish company MGA Games, specialists in developing localised slot games for global operators, affirmed its leading position in the national online gaming market. The autonomous city is expanding thanks to the number of technology companies established in the city, including more than 20 operators in the online gaming sector. Recognising the potential of Ceuta, MGA Games, yesterday held an exclusive event attended by more than 50 representatives of online casinos nationwide. The event presented the key elements that have made MGA Games a leading supplier and strategic partner for all its clients.

JosƩ Antonio Giacomelli, General Manager at MGA Games, in his welcoming speech, highlighted aspects such as the innovation and solvency of MGA Games as well as the hard work and enthusiasm behind each of their productions. He also explained how humour is a distinguishing feature and hallmark of the company and its Spanish Celebrities collection, as well as a key element that excites users. According to Giacomelli, combining humor and product localisation is, and will continue to be, a company strategy for the upcoming releases in 2023.

The evening continued in true MGA Games style, with the MGA Games Comedy Club, hosted by the famous comedian Juan MuƱoz, who for two decades formed part of Spain’s best-known comedy duo – Cruz and Ray. The guests attending the event at Terrazas El Cielo de Ceuta were thoroughly entertained by the comedian with his hilarious monologues, jokes, and pranks.

During the evening, guests relived performances from some of MGA Game’s most humorous and successful productions, such as Chiquito de la Calzada, SeƱor BarragĆ”n, Eugenio, and El Sevilla. Details of the new 3-reel production for this coming November starring Mario Vaquerizo, the famous television collaborator and singer of the band Nancys Rubias, were also revealed.

The biggest surprise of the evening, announced by Juan MuƱoz himself, was that his character would be the last Spanish Celebrities release for 2022. The comedian was delighted with the slot game and thanked MGA Games for inviting him to be part of this legendary collection of slot games. According to MuƱoz, the result is exceptional, and the original audio and personalised songs included make it a unique production.

The MGA Games management was delighted with their reception from the national operators in Ceuta and the city administration. Local government delegates were present at the event, including the Minister of Finance, Economy, and Public Function of Ceuta, Kissy Chandiramani, who spoke about their project to turn the autonomous city into an attractive location for companies dedicated to the online gaming sector.

Q&A: Chris Armes Takes Charge as High 5 Games’ CTO

Q&A: Chris Armes Takes Charge as High 5 Games' CTO
Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

High 5 Games bolsters their executive leadership team with Chief Technology Officer, Chris Armes.

Chris brings to High 5 Games the experience of having managed global engineering teams for several Fortune 100 companies over the past 25 years. Since moving into iGaming in 2017, he’s never looked back and compares the burgeoning industry today to the dotcom business during the boom in the mid to late 90s.

In his position as CTO, Chris works closely with Jerry Wilson, who is in charge of creative strategy for game content and brands at High 5 Games. Another ally Chris counts on to help him meet deliverables is Gino Fratto, who leads the product and project management teams.

We put Chris under the spotlight to answer a few questions about what led him to High 5 Games, his management style and the challenges and opportunities presented by his new role.

Could you please tell us about how you got to where you are now?

Chris: My background is in software development and engineering on large-scale international projects. Throughout my career I’ve been fortunate to have been part of and manage many high-performing global teams across the full spectrum of the delivery experience. In every organization where I’ve led technology, my strong suit is the ability to balance product and customer needs to ensure the success and sustainability of any solution my team delivers.

 

How do you see your role as the CTO at High 5 Games?

Chris: I’m responsible for leading the development and implementation of the technology strategy for High 5 Games. This involves overseeing everything from building platforms to developing the technology behind H5G’s industry-leading games. Another key process I must carefully manage and oversee in my CTO role, is taking fresh products and features through the rigorous phases of testing and deployment before they are brought to market for our customers.

Ā 

What is the best way to build and nurture a technical team in the iGaming space?

Chris: As a leader of a tech organization, you and the business are only as good as the team you build, which is why building the best technical team is your key to success. iGaming today reminds me a lot of the dotcom business during the boom when business differentiation was by finding people with the right kind of experience to join their team. Having a globally dispersed business is an opportunity to build a more talent-diverse team but close collaboration must be a focal point to get the most out of every individual.

Ā 

How do you approach the challenge of aligning your engineers and developers with the broader objectives of the business?

Chris: The best way for teams to see the value of their work and how it contributes to the company’s vision, is to communicate these goals across the entire organization. This communication should be ongoing so that it forms part of the culture and everyone is aligned with these objectives. The biggest challenge often lies in balancing technological innovation with time to market. Engineers and product managers must be adept at delivering solutions through a phased approach. Being agile helps to ensure continuous innovation while at the same time preventing bottlenecks when a final product can’t be delivered all at once.

Ā 

How do you balance the need for innovation with the stability and reliability required in a tech environment?

Chris: It’s important to have a regular release cadence for products and features which accounts for factors such as quality and time. If a technical solution is not ready for release, it’s often better to hold off and prevent a negative customer experience. The ā€˜tech debt’ that can accumulate when choosing an easy quick-fix over a better, more time-consuming solution, is another key consideration when project planning. I strive to create a team environment where we are not only solving problems but continually disrupting, so time is built into sprints for not only addressing the unexpected but innovation as well.

ā€œAs a leader of a tech organization, you and the business are only as good as the team you build, which is why building the best technical team is the key to success.ā€
