The newest game offerings feature an exciting key mechanic, Fortune Spins, that can be switched on and chosen as an alternative to spinning the normal base-game reels.
Other cross-platform favorites will also be on display. Big Fishing Fortune™, which was nominated for Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, LLC Top Performing NEW Online Slot, can be played on a gaming cabinet, online or on a mobile device. Space Invaders®, bringing a bit of 1980’s gaming nostalgia is available for Gaming and iGaming customers as well as pub, holiday park and motorway service customers in the UK.

Big Spin Bonus was nominated for an Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, LLC Slot Award in the Top Performing Online Slot category and Most Innovative Online Game.
Inspired will also be debuting its new leaderboard functionality at this year’s ICE. This leaderboard functionality gives operators and venues a tool to draw in players and provides an additional incentive to play. Route venues can use leaderboards to introduce a competitive and promotional element to game play, adding a new play dimension that evokes the familiarity and nostalgia of traditional ranking tables – think Space Invaders high score board. The leaderboard’s easy-to-use interface empowers venues to set up and host customized tournaments with minimal effort.
