Aristocrat Unveils Three New Cabinets for EMEA Region at ICE 2020
Aristocrat Technologies has reported ICE 2020 as its busiest and most significant launchpad event to date.
At the event, the company unveiled three new cabinets for the EMEA region, presented 111 different games for casino, bingo and salon markets and announced new partnerships to expand the company’s content footprint in Europe.
James Boje, Aristocrat Managing Director – EMEA, said, “Visitors to our stand shared very high levels of excitement and enthusiasm as they were shown Aristocrat’s rich portfolio of new innovations.
“Never before has Aristocrat launched three new form factors into this region simultaneously and reaction to our new MarsX™, EDGE X™ and Relm™ cabinets, all of which have proven themselves in North America and now too in Europe, was highly rewarding. This is testimony to the industry-leading levels of design and development investment made by the company across successive years in our endeavours to deliver the world’s greatest gaming experience, every day.
“Our game studios upped the ante yet again, with a plethora of A-list licensed themes – including FarmVille™, Madonna™, Mad Max: Fury Road™, The Walking Dead™ III, Game of Thrones: Winter is Here™, Star Trek™: The Next Generation, Billions™ and Zorro™ – which will continue to deliver globally renowned brands to enthralling gaming entertainment.
“Huge interest was also shown in proprietary link concepts Cash Express™ Luxury Line™, Gold Stacks 88™ Link, Dragon Tower Jackpots™ and perennial performers Dragon Link and Lightning Link, that continue to engage players across the world up to five years on from their initial release.
“Standalone games also made a big impact with operators due to the sheer number and creativity of new maths models on offer, drawing on both proven mechanics as well as a number of inspirational new ideas.
“The bingo portfolio was also enriched with a mix of new local area progressive games together with a selection of classic games that have delivered time and time again in numerous gaming segments around the world.
“Aristocrat demonstrated its commitment to the Spanish salon sector with a range of new games, cabinets and new and exciting bank configurations which, through our new extended partnership with local distributor VID, will be rolled out across Spain over the next 12 months.
“We continue to explore new market segments to help grow our footprint throughout the region and a new content distribution agreement with Inspired Entertainment, Inc. was signed at the show that will see bespoke Aristocrat content delivered to players through Greek video lottery terminals, Italy’s comma 6B market and the United Kingdom B3 market.”
Boje concluded, “ICE 2020 was undoubtedly our most productive show on record as Aristocrat continued to strengthen existing partnerships whilst developing new relationships that will lead to more players engaging with our unique brand of gaming entertainment – a truly brilliant way to enter a new decade.”

Evoplay has launched Season of Legends, a year-long network campaign built around four seasonal phases, starting with a spring edition carrying a €512,000 prize pool. The spring phase launched in March and runs across March, April and May.
The studio said the new format follows its previous Big Adventures network campaign and is designed to drive sustained engagement through a more structured seasonal approach. Each season runs for three months with new mechanics and prize pools.
A new mechanic, Infinity Prize Drops, will run daily throughout each month and is not tied to tournament windows. The spring edition also includes a Tournament and Wheel of Fortune, each operating in four monthly phases: 1st- 5th, 9th- 13th, 17th- 21st, and 25th- 29th.
Evoplay said the €512,000 spring prize pool will be distributed across the three-month period via a consolidated leaderboard spanning participating operators. Players earn points through qualifying spins on selected Evoplay titles including Hot Triple Sevens, Piggy Bank: 3 Pots Bonanza, and the Penalty Shoot-out series.
Diana Larina, Head of Marketing at Evoplay, said: “Season of Legends marks the next evolution of our network campaigns. With Big Adventures, we saw just how effective long-term engagement can be, and this new format takes that even further.
“By introducing seasonal structure and mechanics like Infinity Drops, we’re giving operators the tools to maintain consistent player activity, rather than relying on short-term spikes. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to build momentum throughout the year.”
