nterblock will introduce AMUSE in Europe for the fi rst time within an enclosed section of its stand at ICE Barcelona. Designed for players of legal age, AMUSE blends arcade- style play with real-money wagering to create a new category of casino entertainment that is intuitive, interactive, and built for high engagement.
Casino fl oors have historically centered around three core segments: slots, table games, and ETGs. AMUSE is emerging as a fourth category, built around randomised titles that are easy to learn and immediately familiar, while delivering a distinctly different style of play. With more than a dozen games in the category, Interblock will highlight several AMUSE titles at ICE, including: • FreeFall – a vertical ball release through a pinball-inspired path
• Battle for Earth – a crash game that’s out of this world
• Avalanche Roulette – a spin on roulette with multi-ball action
• Dragon Bonus Wheel – a glowing wheel with dragon-themed bonus rounds
• Showtime Frenzy – a reimagined classic with the opportunity to multiply winnings each round
• Destroyer: Naval Strike – a casino-fl oor adaptation inspired by the popular board game
The AMUSE product line was recently voted ‘Most Innovative Technology’ at G2E 2025 in the Eilers-Fantini Vendor Survey, earning nearly a quarter of all operator submissions among more than 400 exhibitors. The category is expected to generate similar excitement at ICE Barcelona, driven by its ability to broaden appeal, deepen engagement, and support incremental revenue opportunities.
“ICE Barcelona is a global hub for innovation, and it’s where the industry comes to preview what’s next,” says John Connelly, Global CEO of Interblock. “We’re excited to bring AMUSE to market as operators recognise a growing interest in experiences that bridge entertainment and wagering. Alongside AMUSE, we’re showcasing a broader portfolio that gives casinos more ways to diversify their offering and increase engagement.”

EXPANDED SLOT OFFERING Interblock will also present a new collection of slot machines enabled by its strategic acquisition of Zuum Limited. The expanded lineup supports a wider range of property types and operating models, including multi-game confi gurations for Spanish arcade and bar markets. Products from the slot portfolio on display at ICE include:
• Dra Dra Dragon – a dragon-themed slot game with an expanded display
• Aztec Riches – a slot experience inspired by the Aztec world and its treasures
• Opera and Melody Cabinets – an enhanced multi-game format featuring 4K visuals and high-quality sound, well suited for land-based and cruise ship environments
The addition of slots expands Interblock’s presence across the casino fl oor while reinforcing its long-standing role in electronic table games. For years, Interblock has helped establish ETGs as a core casino category by delivering table-style gameplay paired with premium design, scalable confi gurations, and experiences that are practical to operate and compelling for players.
ETGS THAT OPERATORS TRUST Interblock continues to advance ETGs through four distinct portfolios: Stadium, Smart Pit, Standalones, and Universal Cabinets. Each portfolio is designed to address real operational needs while preserving authentic table gameplay. At ICE, Interblock will feature key ETG solutions, including: • Smart Pit – a live dealer pit offering Blackjack, Baccarat, and now Poker, using real dealers and physical game elements, with digital bet placement for accurate payouts and stronger game protection
• Reel Roulette – a blend of traditional single-zero roulette with slot-style payout potential, featuring upgrades tailored for the Spanish arcade market, including an updated player interface inspired by Interblock’s Organic line and a new Dual Roulette interface on BlackPearl that enables automated and virtual play simultaneously
• Grand Crystal 2 Roulette – a premium, single-zero electronic game featuring bonus moments that can deliver up to 1000x on a straight bet
