Spain’s leading gaming provider R. Franco Digital is taking players on an aquatic adventure with Treasure Keeper, a new online slot that sees players explore the ocean floor for big wins.

Treasure Keeper’s five reels, three rows and 243 lines see players follow the mermaid Wild symbol as she moves through all the reels to obtain a multitude of prizes in a single spin.

When the Wild symbol appears in any position on the reels, the possible winning lines are paid and a ReSpin is generated. During the ReSpin, the Wild moves to the adjacent reel on the left.

Once the reels have stopped and the Wild has been repositioned, the lines are analysed again and the possible prizes are paid. During the Free Spins round, the Wild symbol will expand to the entire reel before analysing wins, and will remain expanded during all ReSpins.

Scatter symbols also feature. The Free Games session is launched when three or more Scatter symbols appear on the reels, with 20 spins. If three or more Scatter symbols appear during the Free Games, an additional 10 spins will be awarded.

Treasure Keeper has high volatility, with a maximum prize of up to 7939x the bet. Direct entry to the Free Spins round can be bought for 59.8x the amount of the bet. This feature can be deactivated at the customer’s request or for certain legislations that do not allow it.

Commenting on the launch, Mario Benito, Commercial Director of R. Franco Digital, said:

“We consistently look to push the boundaries of game development, and Treasure Keeper represents the next in a long line of ground-breaking slot releases.

“With its interesting theme and engaging features, we have once again created an experience that offers players a fascinating new way to engage with the world of gaming, and we are sure it will prove successful with our partners in the coming weeks.”

Treasure Keeper is the latest addition to R. Franco Digital’s extensive games catalogue, which can be enjoyed by players across Colombian, Spanish, MGA and Curacao-licensed markets.

R. Franco Digital has laid down the gauntlet with Total Strike, a new online slot that see two sides collide in a thrilling battle.

In a slot that challenges bravery, Total Strike’s five rollers, three rows and 20 prize lines see players run the risk of deactivating the largest number of bombs without exploding them to achieve the best reward.

Snipers face one of the most important missions in the game: trying to fill in all their counters to reach the Wild symbol. Scatter symbols also feature, as well as a multi-level bonus game and a Free Spins phase.

When the Bonus symbol appears three times in the base game, the player gains access to the bomb defusing bonus where they are challenged to defuse different bombs to win a big prize. With three levels within the bonus, the maximum prize is 1,000 times the stake and for each bob, the player must successfully opt to cut either the red or the blue wire.

During the Free Spins round, Sniper symbols accumulate to light up a skull. Once all the skulls for a symbol are complete, that symbol acts as a Wild and an extra Free Spin is added. On the spin following the completion of the skulls, the corresponding symbol will turn Wild each time it appears.

Total Strike is a high volatility game, with a maximum prize of 1,097 times the player’s stake. In certain jurisdictions, players can buy their way into the Free Spins round. This feature can be deactivated at the request of the operator.

Commenting on the launch, Mario Benito, Commercial Director of R. Franco Digital, said:

“We are constantly raising the bar when it comes to game development, and the arrival of Total Strike sets a benchmark in the world of online slots.

“In developing this game, we have paid close attention to player feedback. We have been working and listening to our customers to make a complete slot adapted to new demands and trends, offering the best in leisure and entertainment, and we have achieved that.”

R. Franco Digital is challenging players to capture the beauty of nature in Wild Shot, a new online slot adventure that combines risk-taking and photography in a safari setting.

Players aim to survive the wild animals of the savannah to take striking images in this five-reel, three-row and 20-line game that has been designed to keep intrepid explorers on the edge of their seats.

Within the constantly exciting environment, players are sure to release large doses of adrenaline to overcome the obstacles they face in capturing, then fleeing from, a dangerous natural habitat.

Wild Shot, which has a maximum prize of 2,657x the stake, contains the chance for players to land the Photography Feature. On certain occasions, between eight and 10 positions will be randomly chosen and marked with a frame to identify them as Special Positions, with at least one on each reel. At the end of the spin, any animals occupying a Special Position will turn Wild, offering a chance for players to gain big wins.

Three or more Scatter symbols unleash the Free Spins round. Fifteen, 20 and 25 Free Spins are available for players who hits three, four or five Scatters respectively, while Scatters that appear during Free Spins session will also be converted into Special Positions.

In certain jurisdictions, players can buy their way into the Free Spins round. This feature can be deactivated at the request of the operator.

R. Franco Digital has cast a spell with the release of Witches South, a new online slot that adds voodoo spells to a world of adventure and enchantment.

Following on from the success of the Spain-based provider’s Witches North release earlier this year, this five-reel, four-row and 40-line sequel immerses curious players in a universe full of potions, plants and magic stones that could help them achieve their goal.

The witch of the south, a voodoo teacher, will help instruct the most adventurous in the secrets of survival. To achieve this, the willing apprentice must collect the largest number of pins to defeat the voodoo doll without suffering damage in order to pick up great prizes.

The dynamic gameplay within this new game is accompanied by multiple language options, while Witches South also features a Bonus symbol that triggers a choice of prizes when the symbol appears on reels one, three and five. The Free Spins game is triggered when the Scatter symbol lands on those same reels, awarding 15 spins with the possibility of re-triggers up to a maximum of 265 spins.

Commenting on the launch, Mario Benito, Commercial Director of R. Franco Digital, said: “With Witches South, we are challenging the most daring not only to play, but also to learn new techniques that will make their experience more exciting.

Casino Mentor sits down with Mario Benito, R. Franco Digital’s Chief Commercial Officer, to discuss the leading provider’s recent hit games whilst providing an insight into how they were developed.

Hi, Mario firstly thank you for providing this interview for our readers, for those who aren’t aware of R. Franco could you tell us more about yourselves?

With a rich history as a market leader in game development for over half a century, Spain’s R. Franco Group has amassed nearly a decade of unmatched experience in the design and development of online games across various platforms and formats. We have an extensive library of more than 250 titles and this extends through video poker, video bingo, roulette, B-machine (AWP), mini-games and more.

Throughout its history, R. Franco has published the most successful titles within the Spanish market including fan favourites like Gnomos Mix, África, Santa Fe, La Diligencia and many others. We continue to do this today, with some of our most commercially and critically acclaimed slots within the region being Neópolis, RF Angels and Reina Sherezade.

We are also seeing this success extend beyond our Spanish origins as we expand our reach in additional regulated markets around the world, aided by our acquisition of a Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) licence.

You recently released Vacuum Buster a title that provides both wild reels and moving reels whilst carrying a rather unique theme, what can players expect from this title?

R. Franco Digital’s recently released slot Vacuum Buster features 5×3 reels with medium volatility and an RTP of 92%. The game has stand-out sound effects and gameplay, along with its unique theme. We relish creating memorable gaming experiences and, in this example, the slot features a colourful design and fun gameplay made possible by the title’s protagonist, a cleaning lady and her powerful hoover weapon who face off against evil sofas and scary fluff.

Prizes are awarded from left to right across 20 paylines with a huge focus on our converted Attraction Feature, a mechanic that boosts potential prizes for players. For example, the Wild on the first reel being the cleaner is different from the Wild present on other reels which are portrayed by dirt monsters. The cleaner sucks these up with her hoover, adjusting the placement of the reels as she does so and awarding higher wins for players.

We also create all our slots with our vast and varied player base in mind, with Vacuum Buster’s bets ranging from a minimum of €0.20 to a maximum of €80, depending on the market.

What are your most popular titles? And are there any that you are particularly proud of?

All of our slots are developed to provide the best user experience to our clients and also to make sure that players enjoy themselves while exploring each new game. We are particularly proud of one of our recent releases, Gnomos Respin, which serves as a reimagining of our popular land-based casino franchise. It introduces many new features while paying homage to the much-loved original.

Picking some of our most beloved titles is a difficult task purely because of how large our portfolio of games is and with each offering players something different. However, some of our most recognisable games are Game Of Chronos, TimeLab, Red Mantis, and recent releases Witches North and Wako. 

How does creating games for the wider international market compare to creating games specifically for a Spanish audience?

We always make sure to analyse market trends along with current events that may go on to influence popular themes or designs during the production of our titles. With Spain and LatAm being intrinsic to our heritage, we are acutely aware of the preferences and tastes of the target audience in such regions and often make specific productions designed to appeal to these markets.

As we expand globally, we will increasingly focus on the raw data from previous releases and market research to influence our future decisions in the overall game production process. However, we are still always sure to let our own creative talent – the same teams that have brought us such great success to this point – take the lead in game production. Stats are useful as a guide towards influencing decision-making to ensure a title’s success, but the magic dust supplied by our developers isn’t as easily quantified.

You can see some of our games in the demo area of Casinomentor.

R. Franco Digital, Spain’s leading provider of gaming content, has launched Vacuum Buster, a title that tasks players with cleaning up a world of chaos and disorder made possible by evil sofas and fearsome fluff.

With help from a superheroine protagonist and her powerful vacuum cleaner, spotlessness will return in the studio’s latest slot.

Set across 5 reels and home to 20 paylines, R. Franco Digital has transformed the daily cleaning schedule into a feature-filled game.

Missing coins, leftover pizza and lost remote controls make up the high paying symbols with two distinct wilds being able to substitute any symbols in-game except the scatter.  These reels can change position when both wilds are in play simultaneously, guaranteeing bigger prizes for the player and creating a wild reel on reel one.

To do this, players must grab a vacuum cleaner and start hunting for lint, attracting reels to the left and generating higher profits.

Three scatter symbols award 20 free spins which can also go on to be retriggered during play. Creating a wild reel during the free spins locks it into position throughout the remainder of the round and this is instrumental to unlocking Vacuum Buster’s full potential.

Commenting on the launch, Mario Benito, Commercial Director of R. Franco Digital, said: “Vacuum Buster carries a unique theme and exceptional graphics that will prove to be a hit with players who like a clean room everywhere! Its changeable reels mechanic and the potential for a sticky wild reel will keep players entertained and picking up their feather dusters long after release.”   

“The R. Franco Digital team continues to work hard to deliver our partners and players the best gaming experience possible in Spain and beyond, and we are confident Vacuum Busters will exceed all expectations.”

R. Franco Digital continues to move forward with new developments and features that repeatedly prove to be successful both critically and commercially, Vacuum Buster can be enjoyed by players based in Colombian, Spanish and MGA-licensed markets.

The latest title from Spain’s biggest name contains 25 winning lines set across 5×3 reels. These are filled with symbols mirroring the unique Japanese pirate theme from treasure chests to the ship’s wheel and more.

Players are aided in creating winning lines of these symbols by the game’s Wild symbol, this substitutes all other in-game symbols except the scatter and bonus round symbols. These wilds can nudge either up or down to create a wild reel and in turn create additional opportunities for wins. 

Wako is packed full of engaging and distinct bonus rounds, landing two shark symbols triggers the Fishing Bonus which reveals mystery instant prizes behind different sea creatures.

The latest release from Spain’s biggest name takes players on an adventure to a world of fairies and cauldrons, with dynamic gameplay and exciting animations at the forefront of the fresh offering.

A journey through a magical world has been created within the 5×3 reel slot, and with the help of the animated gnome protagonist players will have hidden symbols revealed to them. Base game symbols are joined by traditional wilds as well as special wilds, the latter triggering a respin while holding all currently landed wilds in place.

The animated gnome can also enable an extra row across the game grid, allowing for 50 paylines and improving the chances of landing a prize. Lucky Cauldrons can also be claimed in the base game, adding a multiplier to any wins created.

In addition, the title has three distinct bonus rounds. Lucky Bonus offers three possible prizes for the player to choose from, the Fairies Bonus sees players select cash prizes hidden behind doors, and the Cauldron Bonus offers one of three rewards that can be accepted or rejected before the second and third prize amounts are offered.

R. Franco Digital’s focus on gameplay and features is demonstrated in Gnomos ReSpin and the title has been built with a player-first mentality. The latest addition to R. Franco Digital’s renowned games catalogue, it can be enjoyed by players based in Colombian, Spanish and MGA-licensed markets.

R. Franco Digital has launched Cyborg 30L, a futuristic new slot that transports players to a future where machines look like humans.

This new release from Spain’s biggest name sees semi-human machines compete to win battles against each other.
