During the ECA Casino Industry Forum, hosted by HIT universe of fun in Nova Gorica, Slovenia, the European Casino Association (ECA) announced the establishment of the ECA Strategic Supplier Partnership, an initiative to foster collaboration between the association and select partners supplying the land-based casino sector. This exclusive partnership aims to enhance industry cooperation and facilitate dialogue with policymakers and stakeholders on matters of mutual interest.

The ECA welcomed four major suppliers as its inaugural Strategic Supplier Partners: Aristocrat, IGT, Light & Wonder and Novomatic. This partnership marks a new era of cooperation within the European gaming landscape.

The partnership aims to advance responsible practices within the licensed gaming sector while fostering a collaborative environment for industry stakeholders. By facilitating dialogue with European authorities, the members seek to address crucial issues and promote fair regulatory frameworks.

This initiative will explore various aspects of the industry, including equipment standardisation, enhanced security measures, and strategies to combat illegal gambling. Additionally, the partnership will serve as a platform for networking and knowledge exchange, connecting suppliers with operators and promoting responsible gaming practices alongside compliance. Through these efforts, the ECA Strategic Supplier Partnership strives to contribute to the sustainable growth and integrity of the European casino landscape.

Erwin van Lambaart, Chairman of the European Casino Association, said: “We are pleased to welcome Aristocrat Gaming, IGT, Light & Wonder and Novomatic as the founding members of the ECA’s Strategic Supplier Partnership. This collaboration allows us to share diverse perspectives and work towards solutions that benefit the entire gaming community, while respecting the distinct roles of operators and suppliers.”

“Light and Wonder are honoured to be collaborating with the ECA on this strategic partnership. We have long considered that casino operators, trade bodies and suppliers need to work closely together on issues that impact the future of our industry and this partnership represents a great opportunity to actively address those challenges together,” said Jon Lancaster, Vice President of Sales, EMEA.

“As Europe´s largest gaming technology group, NOVOMATIC is pleased to join other major suppliers in laying the foundation for the ECA Strategic Supplier Partnership. In this exclusive collaboration, we look forward to shaping the future of European gaming in a responsible and sustainable way, fostering collaboration across the industry and upholding the highest standards of compliance and player protection. We are excited to partner with the European Casino Association and firmly believe that together we can promote the long-term success of the industry,” Stefan Krenn, Member of the Executive Board NOVOMATIC AG.

“Aristocrat Gaming is pleased to be a part of the newly formed ECA partnership. Our aim is to work alongside the ECA and other suppliers to expand our collective influence in the region when it comes to regulatory reform and the evolution of gaming in EMEA,” said Marcel Heutmekers, vice president of sales and operations EMEA for Aristocrat Gaming.

“IGT is pleased to join the European Casino Association’s Strategic Partnership Alliance and collaborate with other global gaming suppliers to help drive growth opportunities for our customers and to shape a positive framework for the future of casino gaming across Europe,” said David Flinn, IGT SVP EMEA, Canada and LatAm Gaming Sales.

Feel the power of the moon in Midnight Queen from ICONIC21

When the moon rises, the Queen awakens, and big wins can be triggered in the latest slot release from the in-demand iGaming content provider

Online casino operators can give their players the fright of their lives with Midnight Queen, the latest slot launch from in-demand iGaming content provider, ICONIC21.

Midnight Queen is a Vampire-themed slot that’s perfect for entertaining players during the Halloween season and beyond.

It brings vampire mystique to a 5×4 gameboard, where every Moon symbol feeds the hunger for even bigger wins. But this is a game where power doesn’t strike at random; it accumulates.

Player engagement is high thanks to the anticipation built into the game.

Glowing Frames lock onto the reels and wait. Each Moon that lands inside then pushes the Global Multiplier higher, building tension across a 10-spin cycle.

On the final spin, all the Glowing Frames transform into Wilds, delivering the bite – and big win potential – that players have been waiting for.

This combination of anticipation and frighteningly big wins – the game’s max win is 5,000x – allows operators to draw players in and then deliver the thrills (and chills) they are seeking.

As with all ICONIC21’s online slot games, Midnight Queen is available in both real money and sweepstakes formats.

Edvardas Sadosvkis, CPO at ICONIC21, said: “Spooky season is very much upon us, and in Midnight Queen, operators have a slot game they can use to frighten players through spine-tingling gameplay and big win potential.

“The best thing about Midnight Queen is that the theme is enjoyed long after Halloween has ended, and the team has done a great job of producing a gameplay experience that draws players in, builds anticipation and then has the potential to deliver the big wins they are seeking.

“This is a great addition to our portfolio, and we look forward to seeing our operators add it to their lobbies and to benefit from the repeat play, high engagement and consistent revenue growth that Midnight Queen provides.”

Following the success of the original title, the new game takes players back to the wild prairies for another action-packed adventure, combining fast-paced gameplay, sticky coins, and big jackpot opportunities.

When four symbols appear in the middle row, the bonus game begins, giving players three spins to collect as many symbols as possible. Each new coin resets the counter, and the feature continues until no spins remain, while filling all twelve spaces awards the Grand Jackpot.

Excitement increases through the Buffalo Awakening feature, which can trigger the bonus game at any moment, while the Buffalo Spirit awards random multipliers from x2 to x12, enhancing prizes and maintaining momentum.

During the feature, players can land bonus coins, sticky symbols, and the powerful Buffalo Collector, as well as mystery and mystery jackpot icons.

Each Buffalo collects the values and jackpots from every symbol on the reels, while mystery transforms into any regular icon, and mystery jackpot reveals a guaranteed Mini, Mega, or Super Jackpot.

Those eager to jump straight into the action can use the Bonus Buy option to access the Bonus Game instantly.

With its vibrant design, rewarding features, and the unmistakable spirit of the plains, Young Buffalo Coins marks a bold new chapter in one of Evoplay’s most exciting series.
