After the show, Kassim commented: “It was very successful for us. We signed up a number of excellent contracts, details of which we will release over the coming weeks. We also met with many old and new friends and exhibited games from a number of manufacturers, including Adrenaline, Raw Thrills, Wahap, TouchMagix, VEX, Face Place, Memo Park, ICE, Baohui, Super Wing and WIK.
“The feedback was exceptional; we sometimes had people standing in line for 30 minutes to get on to the new games, especially the Face Place Marvel photo booth.”
He added: “KSA is such a huge new market that is going to accommodate a rash of new projects from leading undertakings like SEVEN and Al Hokair.”
