INSIDE ASIAN GAMING | January 2012 46 International Briefs Briefs ExCel exhibition hall at the Royal Docks on the eastern side of the British capital. ExCel has more convenient connections to Eurostar rail services and to London’s main budget airline airport Stansted serving mainland Europe—where many of the ICE exhibitors are based—than does Earl’s Court. Clarion Events, the show organiser since 2005, secured the support of Novomatic and other major exhibitors for the move in 2013. “For the final time at London’s Earls Court, Novomatic can absolutely guarantee some surprises,” says David Orrick, Communications & Business Development Director for Austrian Gaming Industries (AGI), a Novomatic company. “Those innovation details, however, are being kept a closely guarded secret until their official unveiling. That will be performed when the ICE Totally Gaming expo opens at 10am on Tuesday, 24th January.” Novomatic does say, however, that among the goodies will be two new slot cabinets. “One is for the NOVO LINE platform, with a revolutionary cabinet design and offering a very special range of games. The second new cabinet will cater to all AGI gaming platforms, providing next generation cabinet technology for maximum performance. Extra wide screens for an in-depth gaming experience; elegant style and top quality design make this new cabinet a sure bet on every casino floor,” states Mr Orrick. The NOVOSTAR® SL cabinet will also be featured at the London show; displaying its versatility as a platform for multiplayer installations based on the NOVO LINE Novo Unity™ II range.
