Summer Showcase
There's something comforting about iGB L!VE and it's a shame the event is leaving Amsterdam for the all too familiar surrounds of ExCeL London. Totally understand the rationale and all - the massive scope to expand being foremost - but I'm yet to hear anyone say they're pleased with the relocation. Perhaps it's the short flight from Manchester, the nice weather and that 'last day of school before the holidays' feeling, but there's something about the RAI and Amsterdam which will be missed.
This year's Summer Showcase isn't as jam packed as last year's, likely because many suppliers are keeping their powder dry for the SBC Summit and G2E swing in the Autumn, but there's enough to feast your eyes on. A clear trend emerging in the online slots space is the rising prominence of the Hold and Win mechanic. Like any
A CLEAR TREND EMERGING IN THE ONLINE SLOTS SPACE IS THE RISING PROMINENCE OF THE HOLD AND WIN MECHANIC. .
sound concept, its premise is simple: when you land the right number of coins or special symbols, they remain sticky, giving players a better chance of collecting an instant win or a potential jackpot. Playson's Supercharged Clovers, 3 Oaks Gaming's Golden Teapot and Booming Games' 'Extreme version' of Buffalo all feature here.
On the casino floor, Light & Wonder's DRAGON TRAIN has alighted in the EMEA market after becoming the supplier's fastest selling game in Australia. Now live in France, Italy, Greece and Slovenia, it's nailed on to become a top seller over the coming months. Konami's Dragon's Law is back debuting a new triple bonus mechanic, Spintec presents its new Charisma line for operators looking to offer their players a more diverse and socially engaging experience, and Merkur details its linked progressive jackpot system, Link Wave, and cabinet family, Mod Ex. There's plenty more, but they’re my personal standouts putting this edition together.
