The Angelina jukebox has the WOW! factor and the proof is in the income, states Blind Tiger boss, Chris Tulloch
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Angelina, the market-leading digital jukebox developed by TouchTunes, has received another major endorsement with Chris Tulloch, Managing Director at Blind Tiger Inns confirming income figures that are 25 percent above the jukes that it is replacing, thanks to a ‘WOW factor’ not normally associated with music in pubs.
Based in the North West of England, The Blind Tiger Group, which comprises 15 traditional wet led pubs at the heart of their communities, is benefitting from the considerable impact created by the world’s most advanced jukebox. Chris Tulloch stated: “The Angelina has made a significant improvement to our venues. Notably it has produced really positive comments from the managers, staff and customers wherever it is placed – not something I’d heard of or experienced with any previous jukeboxes.
“When we relaunch a pub, it’s imperative the equipment utilised is in keeping with what is a considerable investment. The Angelina delivers a WOW! factor and as far as I am concerned it is the most stunning wall mounted jukebox of all time and there’s no doubt that the looks are a key element of the product and its appeal.”
The increase in jukebox revenue has been linked both to Angelina’s ease of use and its success in bringing the music offering to the fore, in line with the Blind Tiger Group’s community and entertainment ethos: “Most of our pubs are traditional and wet led so the extensive music selection goes hand in hand with the customer profile,” stated Tulloch. “Because the machine is noticed, it becomes a positive talking point for customers and staff alike. So much so that some managers in our estate have asked for the Angelina to replace their BGM system.”
He continued: “Aside from the music offering this jukebox stands out because no one needs showing how to use it – the ease of use isn’t clunky, it feels natural and familiar. Customers are drawn to the machine by the design and unique lighting and then the software makes the whole experience of playing a jukebox enjoyable and rewarding again.”
Expanding on the success story, James Luck, Commercial Director at TouchTunes UK, said: “The Angelina is a combination of technology, looks, music choice and reliability – all of the features and characteristics that define an outstanding jukebox. What we are seeing at pub companies such as the Blind Tiger is how the Angelina has re-ignited the market’s interest in pay to play music and many of the comments we’ve received from operators, pub companies and licensees alike is that this is what the jukebox experience should be all about. The pub industry is also placing greater emphasis on the look and appeal of pub interiors and the selection of entertainment equipment whether that’s a digital gaming machine or a jukebox, has to fit in and look the part. Older jukeboxes sited next to the latest digital AWP simply do not work.
“Significantly, the outstanding income figures that are consistently being achieved by the Angelina are derived from all forms of payment comprising the TouchTunes app, contactless as well as coinage. The market dynamics and the expectations of the pub customer, in particular how he/she chooses to access and pay for entertainment are changing, with the Angelina equipped to exceed those demands and in the process build income.”
The Angelina is being provided by TouchTunes on a deferred payment plan of just £32 per week which includes fixed music fees.

This summer in Zadar, sporting legends and top broadcasters came together for the first-ever Sofascore Player of the Season Award Show, filmed during the Sunset Sports Festival. Now, the show has reached millions as it premiered on CBS, bringing together football stories and data-supported awards.
The show celebrated Europe’s top performers from the Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and many more leagues across the world, all chosen just through Sofascore’s objective performance ratings. No votes, no popularity contests. Mohamed Salah topped the Premier League with a 7.78 rating, Raphinha led LaLiga with 7.80, Mattia Zaccagni claimed Serie A’s best with 7.34, Joshua Kimmich was Bundesliga’s highest rated player with 7.91, and Achraf Hakimi shined in Ligue 1 with 7.76. Beyond this, the awards also celebrated the highest-rated player in the UEFA Champions League, the top leagues in women’s football, and many more standout performers from around the globe.
Hosted by Kate Scott and Peter Schmeichel, and directed by Emmy Award-winner Pete Radovich, the event featured exclusive insights from football greats and top analysts including Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards, and Alessandro Del Piero. Raphinha shared his pride as both LaLiga and Champions League’s top-rated player, while Luka Modrić made history by receiving Sofascore’s first-ever Founders’ Legend Award. In the audience, big names like Dimitar Berbatov, Stipe Miočić, and Šime Vrsaljko added extra prestige to the celebration.
The Player of the Season celebration extended beyond the TV broadcast, with massive billboards in London, Liverpool, Barcelona, Munich, Rome, Frankfurt, Lyon, Metz, and other European cities, showcasing Sofascore’s award winners. From Raphinha and Alexia Putellas in Barcelona to Mohamed Salah in Liverpool and Joshua Kimmich in Munich, fans across Europe could see the season’s best right in their own cities.
The Sofascore Player of the Season Award is built on objective data, not public votes. Every goal, pass, tackle or miss contributes to a rating that reflects what truly happened on the pitch. That’s why, for players and all football fans around the globe, Sofascore’s Player of the Season trophy is the only award that counts.

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has released Don Juan Peppers, a fiery new slot that blends bold bonus features with festive flair.
Set in a sun-soaked Mexican town bursting with colour, rhythm and celebration, the game invites players to join the charismatic Don Juan himself for a lively fiesta across 20 fixed paylines.
The action centres around two types of bonus symbols. Landing three Chili Bonus icons on reels two, three and four triggers seven Free Spins. During Free Spins, each appearance of a Chili Bonus symbol awards an Instant Chili Prize corresponding to the value shown above its reel.
Meanwhile, landing six or more Bonus symbols activates the bonus game. In this mode, all Bonus and Chili icons lock in place and reset the spin counter to three. Chilis in this round boost the value of up to four Bonus symbols before transforming and continuing the chase for bigger wins.
The bonus game also gives players a shot at four fixed jackpots: MINI, MEGA, SUPER, and the GRAND prize of 3,000x the bet. For players who want to skip straight to the fiesta, a Bonus Buy feature offers direct access to either the Bonus Game or Free Spins.
Don Juan Peppers is the latest release in Evoplay’s growing portfolio of standout slots, blending engaging gameplay with vibrant storytelling and proven features.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Don Juan Peppers is a celebration of bold design and dynamic mechanics. By blending familiar bonus features with a distinctive aesthetic and rhythmic theme, we’ve created a slot that feels both familiar and fresh.
“It’s a fantastic showcase of our approach to delivering high-performing content with real personality.”
