The Autumn Coin-Op Show (ACOS) is opening its doors for 2021 welcoming visitors back to their annual exhibition after a break in the exhibitions calendar due to Covid-19. ACOS will take place on Wednesday 20^th and Thursday 21st October 2021 at the new venue ILEC Conference Centre, Earls Court, London. Leading cash handling and biometrics solutions provider, Innovative Technology (ITL), will be showcasing their latest innovations on stand 91.

Commenting on ITL’s involvement, Andy Bullock, Senior Business Development Manager said, “This is the first UK amusement & gaming show to take place since the start of the pandemic, so we are delighted to be involved. ACOS is always a great networking opportunity which offers the chance to socialise and catch up with industry colleagues. The 2021 event will be even more valued than ever, and we are looking forward to going to our first in-person event for some time.”

Andy continued, “The team are eager to debut ICU Lite to the UK gaming and amusement industry which enables organisations to introduce the benefits of biometric technology with no recurring costs, no internet required and with world leading accuracy. ICU Lite adds age verification & facial recognition-based functions to machines via a convenient, plug-in USB device and can be utilised by the industry to protect (under 18s) from accessing age restricted gaming machines, freeing up staff and resources. Lite can also be used to identify your premium or excluded customers. ICU Pro can be employed to prevent access to amusement and gaming venues – installed at entrances, doors and other entry points or restricted areas. 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.”

“We will also be demoing our NV200 Spectral and NV9 Spectral range of validators. Both ranges include add-on modules to provide note recycling capability – single or multi note payout to maximise cash efficiency. Both benefit from Spectral Technology which includes full note imaging to validate the authenticity, offering exceptional protection against fraudulent and stained notes.”

Concluding Andy said, “We are still working in a challenging business climate. ACOS has come at a great time and I’m really looking forward to meeting industry friends and colleagues.”

Modernization adds Momentum ecosystem tools and rolls out new terminals and self-service machines to 1,000+ retailers statewide.

Scientific Games has completed a technology systems conversion for the New Mexico Lottery, modernizing lottery operations with a new gaming system and rolling out retail technology to more than 1,000 locations across the state. The update went live May 11, 2026, according to the company.

Scientific Games said the new system now powers the Lottery’s draw-based and Scratchers’ sales and is designed to simplify product management for retailers. The conversion also includes the launch of the Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership (SGEP) instant game management program, which the company said combines analytics, logistics, retail optimization and product strategy.

“The New Mexico Lottery is officially live with new, modern technology systems that work together to enhance all aspects of our operations and ensure we are well-positioned for our next era of growth,” said David Barden, CEO of the New Mexico Lottery. “We’ve strategically planned every step of this holistic modernization effort with Scientific Games to intelligently operate our retail network, making our Scratchers games easier for retailers to manage in their stores and easily accessible to our valued players.”

Scientific Games said the conversion was developed over the past year and is built on its Momentum ecosystem. Components cited include an advanced central gaming system, the SciTrak instant game distribution system, the gem | intelligence retailer licensing and management portal and the INFUSE business intelligence platform. The company said WAVE clerk-operated terminals and PlayCentral self-service machines will be deployed to retailers in planned phases.

“Congratulations to the New Mexico Lottery for building upon our long-standing instant scratch game partnership, embracing innovation for the future,” said John Schulz, President of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games. “We are proud to serve as the Lottery’s full-line partner and help drive maximum proceeds for New Mexico college students.”
