The organisers of the European Amusement and Gaming Expo, the trade association BACTA, report an early rush for space at the 2011 event, which will be held January 25-27. Having already confirmed major stands for Crown Direct, Harry Levy and AMG, the show manager reports that no fewer than 32 companies have confirmed their space.

They include Whithouse Leisure, Tomy, Whittaker Brothers, Namco, Sega Amusements Europe, Leisure Electronics, NSM, ITM,  JNC and E-Service.

The show - which was only started by the association in 2010 - will again be held at the ExCel conference and exhibition centre in London’s Docklands.
