Even this year jokerman79 was present in London for Ice 2024.
We asked him what his impressions were of “this latest London fair”.
“I expected such a large turnout of visitors, both for the type of fair which, like every year, hosted thousands of people, and because this edition is the last to be held in London and perhaps this last factor for many “has generated” one more reason not to miss out.
Undoubtedly every year we realize more and more how "physical gaming" and its related offer is in decline (except for VLT "cabin machines" for Casinos and/or dedicated rooms which continue to be increasingly "technological and luxury”) or at least, how it is increasingly oriented towards the immense online world. In fact, important providers such as Pragmatic Play, Novomatic (Greentube) and Evolution (just to name three of the most important) are among the "predominant" exhibitors of this wonderful fair with increasingly innovative gaming products and offers that are certainly appreciated by both customers and and from the relevant players who obviously have the main feedback, albeit indirectly.
An important sector of the fair was also dedicated to the very modern "Game Shows" with wheels of fortune and roulette with significant win multipliers, as well as the brand new "Crash Games" (i.e. a sort of innovative fusion between video games and gambling ). But not only that: less popular providers than the "big" ones and "younger" providers presented their offers, many of which with interesting innovations.
Even the stands dedicated to the so-called "green tables" displayed very modern BlackJack, Texas Holdem and above all very modern roulette tables (both for Live Casinos and for physical Casinos), certainly attracting the attention of many visitors and operators in the sector. Precisely regarding the "green tables", undoubtedly the stand of the exhibitor Abbiati (historic supplier of tables to many casinos) received due attention both for innovation and quality.
In short, even in its last year (in London), ICE has brought the entire gambling community into contact, with suppliers, operators, legislators, regulatory authorities and simple visitors from different countries, largely leaving the belief that the offer in the world of gambling is constantly growing and evolving "in the online world". We'll see in less than a year what the Fair in Barcelona has in store for us."
