AZARplus

About this site

AZARplus is the Spanish-language digital daily of Revista AZAR, a Madrid gaming-industry magazine covering land-based casinos, slots, salones, lotteries, DGOJ regulation, and operator results. Juan Manuel Ortega founded the print title in 1984; AZARplus launched in 2012 as the daily web newsroom. Publisher Grupo RANDOM Comunicación S.L. lists a Madrid office at C/ Julián Camarillo, 47, and the live masthead still names Ortega as founder-editor with Susana Ortega Plaza as editor of AZAR and AZARplus. The homepage mix is Spain-first: Cirsa earnings, SELAE lottery-agent economics, ONCE and DGOJ disputes, Guardia Civil raids on salones, and supplier notes such as Novomatic Spain and MGA Games.

Its clearest differentiator versus ApuestasOnline is the job. ApuestasOnline is a Gentoo consumer bookmaker-comparison brand for Spanish-speaking players; AZARplus is trade press written for operators, manufacturers, distributors, municipalities, and regulators. It is also distinct from English global newswires such as iGB and CasinoBeats, and from InfoPlay, a smaller Spain DGOJ shop already kept off this directory. List azarplus.com only; the azar.es print domain is a thin shell, and Joc Privat is association press from Andemar Catalunya rather than this independent family title.

Because industry advertising, public-relations photo coverage, and Premios AZAR sit beside the newsroom, commercial relationships remain part of the model. Even so, AZARplus is a strong Spain gambling-portals listing because it opens a 1984 gaming-industry beat the directory currently lacks.
