The showpiece London gaming and igaming exhibition, ICE Totally Gaming, has seen a surge of interest just weeks after the new website, Passport to Paradice went live, organisers report.

Clarion Gaming, which runs the annual February show, has reported registrations from 82 countries.

Senior marketing manager, Dan Stone, said: “We have had an immediate and powerful response to registration going live for ICE 2018, with close to half of the countries in the world set to be represented next February in London. Among many other credentials, one of the stand-out features of ICE is its ability to attract large volumes of buyers and influencers from throughout the world of gaming.”

He continued: “These key characteristics mean that ICE is a most effective, once-a-year forum for exhibitors to connect with a global, as opposed to a regional, audience of buyers. At the 2017 edition of ICE, 51 nations were represented and the response recorded four months ahead of ICE 2018 going live is a very positive early indicator of what stakeholders can expect.”
