ICE registration opens as organisers predict record attendance for last London edition
Registration to attend what will be the last edition of ICE held in London prior to its relocation to Barcelona in 2025, has opened. The free exhibition pass to be part of what will be a historic edition of the world’s largest and most international gaming expo can be secured on the official website.
Marking the countdown to ICE which is being held across 6 – 8 February at ExCeL London, a venue which has hosted the event since 2013, Clarion Gaming Managing Director Stuart Hunter said: “2024 will be a poignant occasion for everyone associated with the ICE brand as the international industry bids farewell to London and prepares for the next chapter of the ICE success story when the show opens in Barcelona in January 2025.
“We are anticipating another record attendance with industry professionals drawn by the 600+ exhibitors who will be present, the thousands of product launches which are timetabled to coincide with the show and the opportunity to engage with leading international thought leaders, decision makers and regulators across all gaming sectors and verticals courtesy of the ICE VOX learning platform.”
He added: “In keeping with our 2024 ICE creative we are expecting more visitors than ever before motivated by the desire to make more connections, gain more inspiration and benefit from more learning.
“The market looks to ICE for solutions and it’s clear that the event plays a pivotal role for the international gaming industry supply chain of innovators, service providers and operators who view ICE as their most important business event of the year.”
The decision to relocate ICE and sister show iGB Affiliate to Barcelona was taken following an exhaustive six-month process competitive bid process which was overseen by an independent external agency and endorsed by the ICE Advisory Board comprising a cross-section of major international brands active in both online and land-based gaming. The inaugural editions of ICE Barcelona and iGB Affiliate Barcelona will take place at the 240,000 sqm capacity Fira de Barcelona from 20 to 22 January 2025.
In-demand online casino content now available on Caesars Palace Online Casino in the Keystone State
Digital Gaming Corporation (DGC), the premium online casino content provider to the regulated United States market, has strengthened its partnership with Caesars Digital bringing its online casino content live for Caesars Palace Online Casino players in Pennsylvania.
The launch comes hot on the heels of DGC’s portfolio of premium online slot games hitting Caesars Palace Online Casino in Michigan last month.
DGC has emerged as a must-have content provider for operators across regulated U.S. states with titles such as Gold Blitz, Fire and Roses Joker and Squealin’ Riches topping the charts.
Caesars Palace Online Casino players in Pennsylvania can also spin the reels on now-iconic titles such as Assassin Moon, Blazing Mammoth and Thunderstruck Wild Lightning. Each title has been designed specifically for the US market and to not only meet but exceed player expectations.
Neill Whyte, Chief Commercial Officer of DGC’s B2B iGaming Division, said: “This launch builds on our already successful partnership with Caesars Digital and allows its players in Pennsylvania to experience top performing slots such as Gold Blitz and Bison Moon for the first time.
“Each of our titles has been developed specifically to hit the mark with U.S. players, and this is why they are so sought-after across regulated states and it’s great to see Caesars Digital extending its partnership with us to ensure its players in Pennsylvania can fire up the reels on the most thrilling slots in the market.”
Matthew Sunderland, SVP & Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital, added: “DGC’s content has been well-received by our players since we launched with them in Michigan, so it was a logical move to bring its highly-rated slots to our players in Pennsylvania. Providing the highest level of content to engage players remains a key area of focus for our platforms and DGC is a partner that knows exactly how to provide thrilling player experiences.”
Wazdan, the innovative games provider, unravels the secrets of the tome in its latest slot release Book of Faith.
Taking its inspiration from RPG-style games, Book of Faith boasts a dusky backdrop to add to the mysterious atmosphere, sitting behind the title’s 5×3 reel grid.
The game sees the return of the Collector symbol, which amasses value from jackpot and bonus symbols. This randomly appearing icon adds its accumulated value to one of the five treasure chests perched atop the game board, which are then paid out after the free spins round.
Enchanting the grid are the Book of Faith scatter symbols, which trigger at least ten and up to 30 free spins if three or more land on the board.
As this thrilling bonus round starts, a single icon is assigned as the expanding bonus symbol. When it appears during the free spins, the symbol covers the entire row, amplifying wins before transforming into the Bonus Cash symbol that can be gathered by the Collector mechanic.
During this round, the Collector can also be upgraded either by increasing the countdown, even up to infinity with Collect to Infinity, or by multiplying the accumulated prizes, assisting players to reach the maximum win of 5,000x their bet.
“Creating a title for adventure-seekers, our latest release sends players on a quest to reveal the power of the ancient scripture,” the Chief Commercial Officer for Wazdan, Andrzej Hyla, said. “Influenced by computer-style games, Book of Faith combines our engaging mechanics with captivating graphics to create the ultimate slot experience.
“Providing next-level gameplay, the game includes the player-favourite Collector symbols to further boost engagement as well as offering the chance of lucrative jackpot rewards in the free spins round.”
