Following news that one of Britain's biggest distribution companies, Crown Direct, had confirmed its presence with a large stand at the 2011 European Amusement and Gaming Expo, to be held January 25-27, 2011, two more big companies have been added to the list.

Big stands were taken at the inaugural 2010 show by AMG Leisure and by Harry Levy Amusements. Both have now confirmed that they will be taking major space at the next event too.

The organiser, BACTA, the UK trade association, reports that many other exhibitors from 2010 have chosen their spaces at the hall in ExCel, London, and their signed contracts are expected back shortly. They also report an increased interest from non-UK companies, which will build on the success that the show enjoyed in 2010 as an international - rather than purely UK - coin machine event.
