Novomatic was pleased that speculation over the future of the London ICE show did not disrupt business at the event held at Earls Court last month.

The Austrian gaming giant presented a plethora of new product on a newly redesigned booth - the largest at the show - including 14 Coolfire II games and 15 new Novo Line games for both video lottery terminals and GDS applications.

The company also presented two new mystery progressive jackpots, ThunderGod and Wild Nights, and a new community gaming novelty, Bank Blaster.

AGI’s managing director, Jens Halle, said: "We have all spent a lot of time talking about the future of ICE and it was good to finally now be able to concentrate on business in the venue and under the organisation that our customers told us they prefer. ICE has been a very satisfactory show. We have presented our great range of product innovations, met customers and guests from around the world of gaming and, I feel, pointed the way forward for the rest of this year. I think that we can all feel a little more confident for the future as we work together to the benefit of the entire industry."
