COVER STORY – INTERBLOCK I
nterblock enters G2E 2025 with a simple message: the casino fl oor is expanding. Historically, casinos have been divided into three segments – slots, table games, and electronic table games (ETGs), a category Interblock helped elevate. This October, Interblock spotlights AMUSE, a portfolio designed to stand alongside those segments as a distinct fourth category that delivers greater entertainment value, creates incremental revenue opportunities, and engages a broader player base.
ORIGINS
Interblock earned its reputation by taking ETGs from side attractions to centerpieces. Founded in Slovenia in 1989 as ElektronĨek, the company grew from an automated roulette concept into a global ETG brand – broadening its portfolio, refi ning a luxury design aesthetic, and building trust with operators across hundreds of jurisdictions. In 2015, seasoned gaming executive John Connelly was appointed Global CEO. Under his leadership, the company moved beyond a single-product focus and built a cohesive portfolio spanning live, automated, and video formats. A disciplined, data-led roadmap turned ETGs into reliable, repeatable fl oor solutions supported by a unifi ed design system and service model.

DEFINING THE SEGMENT From his fi rst day on the job, Connelly set a clear mandate: expand the offer, defi ne the segment, and prove ETGs can earn like anchors, not novelties. Interblock poured into R&D and industrial design, then converted that into products operators can bank on. The result: a luxury ETG portfolio that now defi nes the space and continues to iterate based on operator and player feedback.
Interblock Stadiums and Pulse Arenas link real gaming equipment and dealer personality to chip-less precision – letting one seat follow and wager on up to four titles simultaneously, across automated, video, and live formats. The Smart Pit synchronizes live Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, and Craps tables with centralized game protection and reduced labor - driving more decisions per hour without adding footprint. Universal Cabinets deliver authentic gameplay in fl exible confi gurations that fi t any space on the casino fl oor - creating an approachable on-ramp for new players while letting seasoned players move faster. Today, Interblock continues to raise the benchmark across these four portfolios - Stadium/Pulse Arena, Smart Pit, Standalones, and Universal Cabinets - each engineered for authentic gameplay and measurable value, and on display at G2E 2025.
