Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has announced a bold new booth concept for ICE Barcelona 2026. Moving away from traditional high-fantasy tropes, the studio is introducing a design-led, immersive experience inspired by its late-2025 hit release, Slattors Battle – Orcs vs Elves.

Exhibiting at Stand 1A50, Belatra’s presence will focus on the duality of “opposing worlds,” using atmosphere, texture, and sophisticated color contrasts rather than direct literal representation to tell its story.

The Booth Experience: Choose Your Fate

The ICE 2026 stand is designed to be a sensory journey where visitors are invited to choose a side between the ethereal realm of the Elves and the powerful, dark world of the Orcs.

Key Activations at Stand 1A50:

• Themed Elixirs: A specialized drink menu featuring two distinct choices—one inspired by the “light and ethereal” Elven world and another by the “dark and powerful” Orcish realm.

• Fate Discovery: An interactive element where guests discover which side they belong to, accompanied by premium themed gifts based on their result.

• Atmospheric Design: Instead of literal statues or posters, the booth uses “mature storytelling” through contemporary design, contrasting textures, and sophisticated lighting to convey the tension of the Slattors Battle universe.

“Our ICE 2026 booth moves away from obvious fantasy visuals and instead explores how atmosphere and design can tell a story,” said Kateryna Goi, CMO at Belatra. “It’s a more mature interpretation of fantasy—one that invites visitors to feel the world rather than simply see it.”

The Inspiration: Slattors Battle – Orcs vs Elves

The booth concept serves as a real-world extension of Belatra’s major November 2025 release. The slot has already gained traction for its innovative “Battle” mechanics:

• Dual Scatters: Features distinct Elf and Orc Scatters that trigger different free game modes.

• Super Scatter: Landing the elite symbol on the 5th reel launches “Hot Mode” for high-intensity gameplay.

• Expanding Multiplier Wilds: Symbols that persist and grow through the free games, mimicking the tide of battle.
