Two separate pavilions within the European Amusement and Gaming Expo, presented by UK trade association, BACTA, will form an integral part of the exhibition floor when the show opens at ExCel, London, for a three-day run on January 26, 2010.

One of the pavilions will house components and spare parts, enabling the many companies that offer coin handling devices and other essential parts for amusement and gaming machines the opportunity to show their wares. The other will be dedicated to AWP or limited payout gaming machines.

The organisers want the pavilions to act as focal points for the thousands of visitors from the UK and other countries who are expected to visit the event.  Effectively, they will ensure that every facet of the ‘street market’ is covered by the Expo.

"We fully appreciate the need of some companies whose products cover both amusement and casinos," said Martin Burlin. "This practical and sympathetic solution will enable a professional presence at EAG expo without the hassle of stand build or the time consuming management of large stands."

This latest announcement comes as three big names in plush also opt to join the growing list of exhibitors.

PMS, ITM and Whitehouse Leisure, all big names in the supply of toys and other goods for redemption, have now signed up for BACTA’s event, meaning the show is now three-quarters full.
