It comes through an exclusive distribution agreement with Orenes Grupo, “the Spanish salones market leader in operations and gaming machine distribution,” a statement from IGT read.

The group’s debut title for the sector is its Magic Fortune Link multi-level progressive. It is known in Spain as a linked game.

“IGT is well-positioned to serve salones customers in Spain by supplying our market-attuned games through our exclusive distributor, Orenes Grupo,” said Mark MacCombie, IGT Senior Vice President - EMEA Gaming.

“The outstanding results from our first offering, Magic Fortune Link, marks a very encouraging start. By combining our local account team’s dedication and expertise with Orenes’ 50 years of business experience and growing footprint in this market, we can help Spanish salones operators achieve excellent outcomes.”

Spain’s salones subsector represents a total footprint of approximately 3,000 gaming and bingo halls. Featuring a casino-like atmosphere, salones offer more video-based, technologically advanced content and hardware. This includes linked products.

José Quereda, Director of Distribution and Sales for Orenes Grupo, commented: “IGT is renowned for its top-performing products with content designed to suit the unique needs of specific player segments and geographies.

“Magic Fortune Link has proven to engage Spanish players with its entertaining, regionally-attuned game mechanics, and represents the first of what we expect will be many high-performance IGT installations at salones across Spain.”
