The licence caps a period of growth and development right across Europe for the rapidly growing provider, which has recently expanded its content offering with multiple tier one operators across regulated markets.

R. Franco’s extensive catalogue of innovative and engaging slots includes Time Lab, Fortune Jungle and Book of Fruits, with the Spanish supplier also boasting a wealth of innovative, polished new games currently in development.

In addition, its newly launched omni-channel IRIS 4.0 platform is integrated with over 40 providers across sports and casino, including R. Franco Digital’s in-house games.

Now armed with the MGA licence, R. Franco Digital can provide its content to Malta-based operators, with a number of tier-one brands lined up for new partnerships in the coming months.

The certification also acts to further expand the footprint of R. Franco Digital as it continues to expand its presence in regulated markets globally.

Javier Sacristán Franco, Director of R. Franco Digital, said: "As the most established gaming company in Spain, we have enjoyed substantial growth through partnerships with allies who share our vision of creating truly innovative and tailored products and technology.

"With the MGA licence now under our belt, we are excited to begin a new phase where we can form new alliances and offer our games to a wider number of European players than ever before."

Mario Benito Campo, Commercial Director at R. Franco Digital said: “From the Commercial and Operations Department of R. Franco Digital, we are very proud to have obtained our Critical Gaming Supply Licence from the Malta Gaming Authority. This milestone is a great opportunity to expand our markets.”
