Innovative Technology (ITL) took part in the last ICE to be held in London last week which attracted huge crowds from the gaming industry before the show moves to Barcelona in 2025. The Innovative stand was right opposite the Consumer Protection Zone which was a key theme at the show, with both their traditional cash handling equipment and latest biometric technology ranges on display.

Marcus Tiedt, Director of Sales & Marketing at ITL, said: “By far the most crowd-pulling solution on the stand was our AI-powered biometric age check technology which provides the gaming industry with a robust tool to prevent underage gambling and safeguard vulnerable players. The industry, government, operators and manufacturers are all committed to ensuring player protection and it was great to demonstrate at ICE how accurate age verification can play a key role. We showed how easy and intuitive it is to receive alerts via a tablet or mobile device whenever someone potentially underage or even self-excluded is trying to play a machine or access an age restricted area at multiple touchpoints.”

Dr Andrew O’Brien, Biometrics Product Manager, said: “Major UK OEMs including Inspired and Reflex have already successfully installed our ICU Lite age verification solution into their gaming cabinets so it was fantastic to see some of them demo this fully integrated on site at ICE. We were also pleased to show a team of compliance and local authority officers our solutions following their visit to the GBG (Gambling Business Group) stand which demonstrated ICU Lite working in an Inspired machine. A key advantage of our technology is that customers only need to pay for the hardware with unlimited age checks at no extra cost. No matter how many age checks are performed, the cost remains the same, making this an affordable solution with a quick return on investment, especially when compared to a subscription service. Plus it’s a completely offline solution meaning all processing is done locally making our solution faster, readily accessible even with no or poor internet and with no privacy issues to worry about either.”

ITL also had a section of their stand dedicated to their traditional cash handling equipment that includes note and coin validators and recyclers which have been used by the gaming industry for over 30 years.

Marcus said: “It was great to show ICE visitors our latest devices for secure cash transactions including the NV4000 and new coin elevator module for the SMART Coin System (SCS). The NV4000 mixed denomination multi bill recycler is ideal for change and redemption terminals, boasting larger recycling capacities, meaning fewer refills and improved machine uptime. Combining the NV4000 with the new elevator module for the SCS, not only can we provide a complete payment solution for both notes and coins, but we can also minimise the gap between coin entry and exit points, improving accessibility and the overall customer experience.”

Marcus added: “There was a real buzz on the stand this year and our team are excited to follow up on all the positive conversations that took place to ensure our gaming customers have the best possible cash validation and age estimation solutions in place. We are proud to be a long-standing supporter of ICE and look forward to celebrating our 30th year exhibiting in Barcelona in 2025.”

PG Soft locks and loads with arcade-inspired Zombie Blasters

PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has loaded up its latest release, Zombie Blasters, a slot that draws its inspiration from the golden age of arcade machines.

Zombie Blasters is a 5 reel, 6 row video slot that is brought to life with bright pixelised graphics and animated arcade style symbols. The game is inspired by old school arcade nostalgia and undead apocalypse thrills, weaving both into every spin, all set against a retro cabinet backdrop with jaunty electronic beats and distorted synth soundscapes.

The main game is powered by Multiplier symbols. At the end of each spin one or more x2 Multiplier symbols may land on the reels and the total win is multiplied by the total value of all Multiplier symbols on the grid.

The Multiplier Wheel takes the action to another level. During a winning spin, the Alarm symbol can appear. This will trigger the wheel to spin and reveal a multiplier from x5 to x50. The Alarm symbol and any Multiplier symbols already present on the reels are then upgraded to that value before wins are paid.

Landing four, five, or six or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the Free Spins Feature with 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. Any multipliers you land during your free spins are added together and remain at the bottom of the reels until the feature ends. If you can land three or more extra Scatter symbols you are awarded with five extra free spins.

Players seeking instant action can also tap the Feature Buy button to launch the Free Spins Feature at the price displayed, with wins of up to x10,000 of the initial bet.

PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “Zombie Blasters takes players in the firing line of a pixelated arcade shootout, where the rewards belong to those quickest on the draw. The real showstopper is the Multiplier Wheel, and with the stacking multipliers in Free Spins, explosive wins are never far away – just one Alarm symbol away.”

3 Majestic Drums

Spinomenal marches to the beat of 3 Majestic Drums

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal is marching to the beat with 3 Majestic Drums, the latest addition to its renowned Wildlife series.

Taking place on a sweeping African savannah at sunset, the 5×3 reel frame is bathed in the warm glow of an amber horizon, towering acacia trees and the colours of the wild. The instrumental soundtrack beats to the pulse of the continent and players are tossed into an atmospheric adventure from the first spin.

The majestic Lion is the Wild symbol and substitutes for all symbols except for the Bonus and Special Bonus symbols. The Lion pays x10 for five on a line, x2 for 4, x0.5 for 3. There are 3 to 4 Wild combinations but they only pay if a Bonus or Special Bonus symbol follows.

The heart of the game is based on four sparkling diamond symbols. The common Bonus symbol can show up on the reels, and three powerful Special Bonus symbols – BOOST, MULTI and COLLECT – have unique abilities during the Bonus Game. The MYSTERY symbol may only appear in the Bonus Game and can randomly transform into a BOOST, MULTI, COLLECT or Jackpot symbol.

The Bonus Game is triggered by six or more qualifying symbols – in any combination of Bonus and Special Bonus symbols. The trigger symbols are locked on the screen as three spins start. Each new symbol landed resets the spin counter to three. The Bonus Game ends if three spins pass without a new symbol appearing or if total winnings reach the maximum x3000 multiplier.

During the Bonus Game, Jackpot symbols can appear randomly and trigger the Major Jackpot (x150 the total bet), Minor Jackpot (x50) or Mini Jackpot (x20). Players will win the Grand Jackpot if all 15 cells are filled, which is x3000 the total bet.

The Bonus Blast Feature can also trigger at random during the base game, scattering additional Bonus and Special Bonus symbols randomly on the reels to help trigger the Bonus Game.

If you want to get into the action quickly, then you can make use of the Buy Feature, which offers instant entry into the Bonus Game, at a price scaled to your chosen bet.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “3 Majestic Drums takes the pulse of the African wild to the reels in spectacular fashion. The Bonus Game with the BOOST, MULTI and COLLECT mechanics adds a multi-layered, ever-changing dynamic where each spin has the potential to change the game dramatically. We’re confident players will have a great time marching to the beat of this wildly entertaining title.”
