The second Juegos Miami casino trade show, which closed on June 2, saw increases in almost all of the performance indicators and the organiser, Clarion Gaming, is now talking with stakeholders to plan the next stage in the development of the pan Latin America and Caribbean show.
Kate Chambers, managing director of Clarion Gaming, said: “We have been extremely encouraged by the profile of the delegates, the calibre of the speakers, the quality of the training and the feedback we have received from exhibitors.
"While there remains a lot to do in terms of refining the offering, I am confident that Juegos Miami has safely avoided the ‘second show syndrome’, which impacts many launch events, and that we can plan, in partnership with the industry, to take it on the journey that all successful event brands embark on."
She added: “We have spent many hundreds of hours researching the market and listening to the needs of stakeholders to launch an event that meets the specific needs of the industry, rather than our interpretation of those needs. We are committed to continuing this process of collaboration and investment in order to take the brand forward.
"The Clarion Gaming strategy is to work with stakeholders throughout the world in order to help nurture and sustain gaming economies over the long term. Juegos Miami is a perfect case study of a professional event organiser working with the market for the betterment of the industry."
Initial figures suggest that the show had a nine per cent increase in regulators, a two per cent rise in registrations from operators and more first-time countries represented, including the Bahamas, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Haiti, Hong Kong, Japan, Kazakhstan, Marshall Islands, Morocco, Slovakia, South Africa, Taiwan and Ukraine.
