Although dominated by Gauselmann, Bally Wulff and Novomatic, the internationals continued to hold their own at this week's IMA exhibition, which closes today.

Diana Marketing from Spain got off to a flying start with orders taken on the first morning of the show for its Knock Off game, which won AMOA’s Innovation Award recently.

Austria’s Funworld presented a range of new product including poker, sports betting and internet terminals. According to Funworld’s Christina Hinterleitner, the German market is a difficult one to break as there is so much focus on multigames, but it is continuing to push forward as the popularity of skill games continues to grow.

There were also multiple companies from the international cash handling sector including Suzo, MEI, Azkoyen, Money Controls, Innovative Technology, JCM and Comestero - covering all areas of the high and low end market.

The Bowling Expo also featured strongly this year with large stands taken by QubicaAMF and Brunswick.
