Botemanía to release the game Chiquito by MGA Games on their website

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Very soon the Spanish operator will be offering a wide range of MGA Games productions on their online portal.

Gamesys Spain, the Spanish gaming operator behind Botemanía, just released their new slot machine product catalogue including the games from content provider MGA Games. The agreement was signed today by both partners.

Botemanía’s debut came with the launch of the popular slot machine game Chiquito, one of MGA Games’ favorites. Both partners will now be launching other MGA slot titles such as Mina de Oro, Mr. Magnífico, Misión Espacial, Barragán, El Dioni, María Lapiedra, Aramís Fuster, Super Detectives, La Mansión Encantada and El Cartel, amongst others.

Gradually, Botemanía plans to incorporate further MGA productions to their portfolio. Following the new agreement, the Spanish operator might even include games other than slot machines.

Raul Ibañez, Country Manager of Botemanía, is highly satisfied with the release of Chiquito. “We are very happy to be launching this game, which is highly popular in the Spanish market. I am sure that it will soon become one of our users’ favorites,” he says. “I myself have played Chiquito and had a blast listening to the jokes of the famous stand-up comedian whenever he comes on stage. The game is just kindred spirits with our company values. Botemanía will be definitely trusting all of new MGA Games’ releases and displaying them on our portal,” adds Ibáñez.

José Antonio Giacomelli, CEO of MGA Games, is excited, too. “We are very proud to be partnering with Botemanía, who is a leading slot operator in Spain. Because of the confidence they placed in us, we will be offering Botemanía premium, high quality slot machines and online casino games soon. We hope our games will help them reach new markets and increase user engagement.”

Gambless - Problem Gambling Report: English speakers recorded a severity score 57% higher compared to Italians

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Gambless has been developed and fully funded by Mindspa Health; it has not received any contribution from the gambling industry.

Since its launch, the application has helped thousands of vulnerable individuals and provided resources worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for free to problem gamblers.

Thanks to ranking #1 for most ‘gambling addiction’ related keywords in the app stores, all traffic towards the app has been organic, resulting in 96% of the users scoring a mid-to-high level of problematic gambling.

The operators most frequently mentioned by problem gamblers are: Ladbrokes in the UK, DraftKings in the US, PokerStars in Italy, and TAB in Australia

Comparing language clusters, English speakers recorded a severity score 57% higher compared to Italian speakers, possibly also due to the effects of the gambling advertising ban in place in Italy.
