Both InterGame and InterGaming will be more widely distributed in London 2009 than ever before.

In addition to the two Earls Court shows and the IGX, to be held at the Ibis Hotel on January 27,28 and 29, a number of other distribution methods are being implemented. InterGame’s publisher Christine Butterworth also wishes to make it clear that in the true spirit of a free press all trade publications will be welcome at the IGX show.

Said Butterworth: "InterGame has always had a good professional relationship with its peers in the international amusement and gaming press and will not be party to any petty discrimination. In the interest of the amusement and gaming industry, all will be welcome."

A major supporter of this initiative is Jens Halle of the giant Novomatic company in Austria, who commented: "We will decide what we show on our stand at Earls Court and I would like to make it clear that Novomatic will be one of the distribution points for InterGame and InterGaming.

"This is a private agreement," he added, "between our president, Johann Graf, myself and the owners of InterGame and InterGaming."
