R. Franco Digital launches Pajares slot honouring Spanish comedy icon

R. Franco Digital, the Spanish iGaming provider, has launched Pajares, a slot title that pays tribute to the late Spanish actor and comedian of the same name. The 5x3 game is set on a film studio backdrop, using symbols such as cameras, director’s chairs, megaphones and film reels to evoke the golden age of Spanish cinema.

Andrés Pajares himself appears as a wild symbol, expanding to cover the full reel when it lands and triggering a respin, which gives players an additional chance to win.

Three bonus rounds

Landing three clipboard scatter symbols triggers one of three randomly selected bonus games, each based on a scene from the actor’s filmography. In the Job bonus, players choose from a set of tools to reveal cash prizes, continuing until an X symbol ends the round.

The Bingo bonus, inspired by the 1979 film Los Bingueros, presents two bingo cards and draws six balls, giving players the chance to win instant prizes as well as payline wins. The Crook bonus offers a choice of three safes, each of which can be opened to accept or decline the prize inside.

Part of wider IP strategy

According to R. Franco Digital, Pajares reflects the company’s approach of turning recognisable intellectual property into slot experiences as it continues to expand its games portfolio.

Javier Sacristán Franco, International Business Director at R. Franco Digital, said the title draws on one of Spain’s best-known cultural figures and aims to appeal both to fans of the actor and to slot players more broadly, citing the inclusion of scenes from his films alongside the three bonus features.

R. Franco Digital is part of Grupo R. Franco, a long-established Spanish gaming group founded in 2014 to combine the wider group’s decades of industry experience with digital gaming technology. The company offers operators a portfolio of games and solutions built around its IRIS omni-channel platform.
