ITL launches ICU Lite – biometrics via USB!
Innovative Technology have launched their latest biometrics solution – ICU Lite. A compact version of their ICU Pro, it enables you to add age verification & facial recognition-based functions to a machine via a convenient, plug-in USB device. Using biometric technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms, ICU Lite connects to your individual host machine or terminal such as kiosks, self-checkouts or gaming machines.
Commenting on the new product Dr Andrew O’Brien, ICU Product Manager said, “We are delighted to bring this product to market after a period of intense product development to create a compact biometric solution. Our ICU Intelligent Identification technology has been developed over a number of years and our ultimate goal was always to be able to offer high quality biometric measurements in a low cost, easy to use solution. ICU Lite is easily integrated into a host machine. You simply connect a camera to the Lite and plug the Lite directly into the host machine. All processing is done locally on the ICU Lite so no additional processing power for host machines is required, and an internet connection is only needed for set up and updates. Functions include age verification, facial recognition, face covering detection and gender identification, and each ICU Lite can be customised with 2 of these functions depending on your specific need.”
Christian Czeskleba, Senior Business Development Manager for ITL commented, “The benefits of ICU Lite are impressive. Installed at machine-level, it can be utilised in a variety of terminals such as kiosk, self-checkout, gaming machines, vehicles or cash safes – anything with restricted access. It protects children from accessing age restricted goods or services, staff from intimidation or abuse, identifies premium or excluded customers and allows authorised staff access to machinery, vehicles or even safes. Lite can be used as a multi-factor authentication tool using 1:1 comparison to verify users’ identity, comparing ID photographs such as a passport or driving licence to the person presented to the camera. It can also be utilised for financial services to assist with Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations ensuring customers are who they claim to be. Plus using gender identification, organisations can take advantage of targeted advertising.”
Andrew concluded, “This edge solution can transform your standard USB camera into a Smart Camera to intelligently identify your customers with a world class level of accuracy and speed. Spoof detection comes as standard, and as with all ICU products configuration is via the user-friendly management suite. Facial recognition does not have to be complicated. ICU Lite makes these smart functions accessible to all in a compact, affordable solution. It has a one-off cost with no reoccurring charges making this an inexpensive way for any business to utilise the advantages of biometric technology, no matter what their size or available resources.”

Tom Horn Rolls Out Wild Winter Magic in Wild Snowflakes
Tom Horn Gaming, a leading igaming software supplier, has unveiled its latest game, Wild Snowfakes, just in time for the winter season. A winter-themed slot transports players to a serene snowy wonderland filled with excitement and rewards.
Expanding Wilds and QuickX™ Bonus Buy Feature
With expanding wilds and the supplier’s proprietary bonus buy feature, QuickX™, Wild Snowflakes delivers thrilling gameplay and allows players to tailor their journey based on their preferences.
This medium-to-high variance game is played across a 5×3 gaming grid, populated with frosty fruit symbols and snowflakes, which act as wilds. When a wild snowflake lands as part of a winning combination on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th reel, it expands to fill the entire reel, transforming other symbols above and below into wild snowflakes for bigger wins.
Players in applicable jurisdictions can activate one of three expanding wild features with 2x, 3x, or 5x multipliers using the QuickX™ bonus buy feature. This proprietary mechanic allows players to purchase direct access to bonus rounds, bypassing the base game grind. QuickX™ empowers players to customise their gameplay, offering a shortcut to increased winning potential. The cost of activating QuickX™ is dynamically calculated based on the player’s original bet size, multiplied by the chosen bonus buy multiplier.
A Winter-Themed Classic Slot with a Contemporary Twist
“Wild Snowflakes is a celebration of the beauty and magic of winter, brought to life through stunning visuals and an immersive theme. By combining the charm of a classic slot with engaging features, we’ve designed a game that’s both nostalgic and exciting. It’s the perfect addition to any operator’s portfolio this winter season, “ said Katarina Slaninova, Head of Marketing at Tom Horn Gaming.
The game will be available for distribution through Tom Horn Gaming’s extensive partner network from 21 November.

Bitblox unveil new partnership with Timeless Tech
Bitblox, the pioneering software studio responsible for introducing a new wave of crypto-based price prediction games to the online casino world, has announced it has agreed a huge new deal that will see its full range of titles added to the Timeless Tech portfolio.
As a forward-thinking aggregator that prides itself on continually broadening the gaming verticals that it’s able to supply to customers, the partnership will allow Timeless Tech to offer releases like Up or Down?, Up or Down? Turbo and 3 in a Row to its casino clients going forward.
With these four additions as well as all future releases from Bitblox at their disposal, operators who use Timeless Tech to power their game aggregation needs will now be able to further engage their customers with a unique selection of titles that combine elements of both chance and skill.
Perfectly positioned to capitalise on the iGaming industry’s growing interest in cryptocurrency, all Bitblox releases require players to try and correctly predict Bitcoin’s price movement over a fixed window of time and have been built to appeal to both casino customers and sports bettors alike.
Although no prior knowledge of the Bitcoin market is needed to play, the presence of real-time price data enables users to follow the chart and make better informed decisions, meaning they have a more active role in the outcome of each round than they would with a traditional RNG title.
As a result, Bitblox’s games manage to fill a gap in the market that’s both fun and strategic while also supplying an exciting new vertical for operators looking to engage with a younger, crypto-curious audience. Their addition to the Timeless Tech portfolio should serve to see their current popularity grow further as they find their way to new customers in a variety of markets worldwide.
Brandt Page, Chief Executive Officer at Bitblox Games, said: “At Bitblox, we already know we’ve come up with a concept that holds genuine appeal to both sports bettors and casino customers alike, so the next step is obviously ensuring that our games get out to as wide an audience as possible.
“Our new partnership with Timeless Tech will enable us to do just that by making our full portfolio of releases available to a wide number of operators globally, so we’re very excited to see what the uptake is and we’re really looking forward to hearing back from customers on how they perform.”
Nicola Cainero, COO at Timeless Tech, said: “At Timeless Tech, we’re always looking to integrate innovative content that pushes the boundaries of gaming, and Bitblox aligns perfectly with our goal of providing unique and engaging experiences to both players and operators alike.
“By adding their releases to our platform, we can further broaden the gaming verticals that we supply to partners, providing them with fresh content that will add an exciting dimension to their current libraries while also attracting a new wave of players who are interested in cryptocurrency.”
