About Grupo R. Franco
Grupo R. Franco is a Spanish designer and manufacturer of commercial gaming equipment, publicly branded as R. Franco. Founded in Madrid in 1965, the business developed from an amusement-machine workshop into a supplier serving hospitality venues, gaming halls, bingo halls and casinos. Its markets extend across Spain, Europe and Latin America.
The company's land-based portfolio includes amusement-with-prizes machines, casino cabinets, multi-position electronic roulettes and electronic bingo equipment. Its capabilities span cabinet design, engineering, hardware prototyping, assembly, homologation and metrology. This combination supports the development and manufacture of equipment for different gaming environments, from hospitality installations to dedicated casino floors.
Manufacturing and customer support
R. Franco combines equipment production with commercial and technical services throughout the product lifecycle. Alongside machine design and assembly, it provides maintenance, spare parts and technical assistance. Its RF Global Rent offering supplies gaming-machine leasing and rental services. Dedicated engineering, commercial and industrial facilities remain concentrated in the Madrid metropolitan area.
The company's history also encompasses expansion into online gaming. In 2014–2015, it established R. Franco Digital, operated through R. Franco Technologies, S.L.U., to develop online casino software and platform solutions. This related business extends the group's activities into regulated digital gaming markets, complementing its established land-based manufacturing operations.
Ownership and continuity
In November 2021, R. Franco and Grupo Orenes completed a corporate merger through which Orenes consolidated ownership of Recreativos Franco. The business continues operating under the R. Franco brand, retaining its dedicated manufacturing, engineering and commercial activities. In 2025, its registered legal domicile moved to Murcia while its operational facilities in the Madrid area continued to serve the business.
