Spain: A new bull market?

Spain: A new bull market?Reading Time: 3 minutes

Spain is an increasingly attractive market for operators and suppliers alike; with bright forecasts for the market’s future following its regulation in 2012. We sit down with Ruben Loeches, CMO at R. Franco Group, Spain’s most established gaming company, to get the lowdown on the market they dominate.

Spain is touted by some as the industry’s latest bull market – as Spain’s most established gaming company, what’s your take on the market’s development so far?

Spain’s current expansion is unprecedented; we’re seeing a 20.10% increase in terms of GGR, mostly due to the ever-growing popularity of sports betting online, which is currently above 25% in GGR.

Of course, there’s an increase in new customers, but we’re also seeing an exponential trend of players becoming ambassadors for the transition to online, which is in turn the catalyst for a very interesting multiplier effect within their own social circles, with more of their friends signing up to the digital world as a consequence. This is definitely indicative of the new generation of players getting involved in iGaming – and represents fantastic potential beyond the traditional bastion of sports betting.

Plenty of supports suggest that there is room for further growth here, where do the opportunities lie in Spain for operators?

In my view – the future of gaming is all about omnichannel. None more so than in Spain, The ability to bridge the retail and digital environment is by far the greatest opportunity in regulated markets, and one that every operator should be focusing on.
Companies that already have an established retail presence hold a great advantage here as it gives the proposition of choice to the player in whether they interact with their brand of choice online or offline, and ensures they are always present as part of the customer journey. Tie this in the with the opportunity to promote your brand through the activation of sponsorships, more and more potential customers will be open to getting involved in sports betting.

How will the ban on advertising affect the way the Spanish gaming sector does business? how do you expect to overcome these regulatory tailwinds? Do measures need to be put in place to mitigate this risk?

Given the Spanish passion for sport and gaming, and everything that comes with it, there will always be opportunity. Of course, these regulatory tailwinds will certainly necessitate operators and suppliers to rethink their strategies.

For us, we would suggest a measured approach, think much more where you invest your money, be much more strict with the monitoring of your metrics and in the analysis of your traffic sources, and above all, give much more value of the leads that you can get or have achieved in the different phases of a client’s life (acquisition, conversion, retention and reactivation).

Of course, the government’s regulatory obstacles will stifle growth, but with every challenge comes opportunity, and as long as resources are shifted to place more emphasis on acquisition – then risks can be easily mitigated.

R. Franco was one of the first platform suppliers to go live in Colombia once the market opened, what other opportunities do you see for LatAm, and how does being Spain’s most famous gaming company help?

The Latino world lives and breathes sport like no other. Our habits in Spain are very similar and this is represented in the way we both bet, and for us – Latin America will always be our secondary region to operate. The learning curve we’ve acquired in all these years allows us to implement processes, methodologies and strategies that fit the market perfectly. The cost saving benefits here for us over nearly any competitor from outside of this world are immense, as we avoid the loss of budget in unnecessary marketing campaigns that others would have to do to reach a market where there is little knowledge or experience.

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Squid Gold X2 by 18Peaches invites players to dive deep into a world of mystery, magic and forgotten riches. Set within a sacred castle filled with ancient relics and hidden chambers, every spin feels like a step deeper into the unknown. The legendary golden squid is said to guard untold fortunes, and only the bravest adventurers will uncover its secrets.

The journey plays out across a 5×5 grid with 50 paylines, where expanding reels can unlock up to 100 paylines for even greater rewards.

With enchanting artifacts, secret rooms, and the electrifying Squid 500 feature, no spin ever feels ordinary. Add in Free Spins, Wild expansions and instant bonus access via Buy Bonus, and Squid Gold X2 becomes a pulse-raising treasure hunt built for thrill-seekers.

“With Squid Gold X2, our goal was to create a journey where every spin feels like a step closer to unlocking a forgotten legend,” says 18Peaches Chief Strategy Officer Arsen Tadevosyan. “We designed mechanics like Squid 500 and the X2 expanding reels to build momentum, each trigger feels like a gate opening, both visually and emotionally. It’s that feeling of chasing something mythical, where every feature builds anticipation and drives you deeper into the experience.”

“When reels expand, paylines double, and the chamber glows with energy, players feel the story unfolding through mechanics. That flow, the rise in tension, the surge of possibility, is what makes Squid Gold X2 such a captivating adventure.”

As with all 18Peaches’ releases, Squid Gold X2 is bursting with features that keep every moment alive. The highlight is the legendary Squid 500 mechanic.

Whenever a Wild lands and expands, it triggers the sacred Golden Gate, unlocking hidden energy within the castle walls. As the gate opens, the power of the golden squid surges through the reels, doubling your paylines and dramatically boosting winning potential.

There’s also our X2 Mechanic. During bonus rounds, when the Golden Gate rises it reveals additional rows, expanding the grid and transforming 50 paylines into a breathtaking 100-line battlefield of rewards.

Squid Gold X2 is the latest addition to 18Peaches’ fast-growing catalogue of hit titles that continue to resonate with modern players. Recent successes such as Leprechaun Jackpot Collector, Monster Load-Up Hold & Win, and the high-adrenaline Hacker Crash Jackpot have firmly established the studio as a creator of distinctive, high-engagement experiences.

As with all 18Peaches titles, Squid Gold X2 is built for effortless market deployment. The platform supports Sweepstakes and Free Rounds via API, enabling operators to easily tailor promotional strategies across diverse regulatory environments.

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has launched Young Deer Song, a festive high-volatility slot that takes players deep into a mystical forest where nature’s creatures lead the way to great rewards.

As the moon rises over the treetops, the reels come alive in this Christmas themed title with the fox, owl, raccoon, and wolf, each carrying their own charm and fortune.

The deer, acting as the Wild symbol, prowls across the reels to complete winning combinations, while three or more Scatters trigger free spins beneath the light of the full moon.

Once the chase begins, players start with three spins, and each new symbol that lands resets the counter while staying locked in place. Collecting 15 symbols awards the Epic Jackpot, worth 3,000x the bet.

Smaller prizes, Mini (50x), Mega (150x), and Super (500x), can also be won during both this feature and Free Spins, while the Epic reward remains exclusive to the final round.
