This year’s ICE event has attracted more than 35,000 visitors in its first instalment after the resolution of the pandemic-related challenges. With the full stack of the most important exhibitors and partners attending, ICE London has shown that it is indeed one of the most important gaming and gambling events in the world.

Spintec stand at this year’s ICE London gaming event has received an unprecedented amount of attention throughout the three-day event. This is not surprising, as they have shown some of their best and most interesting product upgrades, new hardware, and some new game features that they have developed in the time since they last exhibited at this event.

One of the most exciting novelties shown at the event is the option of connecting games at different casinos into one seamless gaming experience. Spintec’s Remote Gaming solution allows casino groups to combine live and automated games at different locations, making them available to players across different venues. This can radically reduce the number of dealers and other staff required and optimise the number of playing stations across their venues, while giving the players the unique experience of a live or automated game of Roulette, SicBo and Craps.

Their most popular innovation at the event was the upgraded stand-alone automated roulette centre. In its latest edition it boasts attractive new design upgrades, like a flat glass cover with RGB illumination. The wheel now also comes in a super durable light grey Kerrock version with black chrome accents. All these design features are discretely emphasised by integrated LED lighting that follows the circumference of the wheel.

Their Karma automated gaming solution, which can feature a host of different games, can now be upgraded with an attractive two-sided topper which also comes with an interactive LED sign at the very top. This setup can show live statistics and animated promotional content and is certain to attract players from across the casino.

For the casinos that wish to integrate a live card game into their electronic play station portfolio, Spintec now offers a dealer-friendly table with motorised height adjustment and incorporating an additional dealer monitor for an even better overview of the game.

At this year’s ICE Spintec have also premiered a wide range of game upgrades. Their Roulette now features payout-multiplying side games like Crown Roulette or Hotspot Roulette with adjustable payout multipliers of up to 900-times the original bet. However, if the players wish to increase the odds of winning, they can bet on a super exciting Multilevel progressive Jackpot. A similar option is also available for SicBo players with the Dragons progressive Jackpot. Spintec’s new Baccarat, on the other hand, now boasts a super exciting squeeze feature, which adds drama to an already very interesting game. It can be customised to squeeze the cards from the top or from the side, increase or decrease the reveal speed, or even accelerate the game to fast or super-fast.

For the most demanding casinos, Spintec have also developed solutions for the delivery of tournaments with their SicBo, Roulette and Baccarat installations. A first-person experience of this installation was offered to the ICE 2023 visitors at the Spintec stand and the popularity of the event has shown that the operators are showing increasing interest in this type of game delivery.

As a special treat, Spintec have also introduced a new game for the Dutch market only, called Wheel of Diamonds. The game has a fully automated delivery with stunning animation and exciting wins of up to 1.600 €.

Meridianbet Completes Fairbet Acquisition, Expanding Malta Retail Gaming Network Under Golden Matrix Group

Meridianbet, a leading global sports betting and gaming operator and a subsidiary of Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI), has completed the acquisition of Fairbet Ltd., a licensed retail gaming operator in Malta.

The transaction significantly expands Meridianbet’s physical retail footprint in one of Europe’s most tightly regulated gaming jurisdictions.

Fairbet operates under Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) license B2C/195/2011, and the acquisition grants Meridianbet 100% ownership of Fairbet’s retail operations across Malta and Gozo, the archipelago’s second-largest island. The deal expands Meridianbet’s presence beyond its existing locations and further consolidates its position within the Maltese retail gaming market.

As part of the transaction, nine additional retail locations will be integrated into the Meridianbet network, increasing the company’s total number of storefronts in Malta to 20. The enlarged retail estate is expected to operate more than 60 sports betting terminals and over 120 slot machines, significantly boosting Meridianbet’s land-based gaming capacity.

The companies’ previous technology partnership will now transition into full operational integration, with Meridianbet assuming complete operational control of Fairbet’s retail network. All locations will be rebranded under the Meridianbet name, ensuring unified technology, compliance, and customer experience across the portfolio.

Malta’s retail gaming sector is governed by one of the most restrictive regulatory frameworks in Europe, with only three licensed operators permitted to operate retail betting locations: Meridianbet, Izibet (the National Lottery operator), and Fairbet. With Fairbet now wholly owned by Meridianbet, the company effectively controls two of the three retail gaming licenses in the jurisdiction.

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) enforces strict licensing criteria, substantial capital requirements, and rigorous compliance standards that create significant barriers to market entry. These conditions limit competition and create long-term scarcity value for licensed operators that meet the regulatory threshold.

“Completing the acquisition of Fairbet strengthens our position in a market where regulatory barriers create inherent scarcity value,” said Zoran Milosevic, CEO of Meridianbet. “This transaction allows us to expand our retail infrastructure in Malta, while our technology now supports the majority of licensed retail gaming in the country. It reflects our disciplined M&A strategy, targeting high-barrier markets where limited licensing creates durable competitive advantages.”

The Fairbet acquisition aligns with Meridianbet’s broader growth strategy, which combines organic expansion with selective mergers and acquisitions in jurisdictions where regulation encourages consolidation. Malta has been a core operational hub for Meridianbet since 2008, with the company ranking among the country’s originally licensed gaming operators during the early development of the MGA framework.

Malta’s gaming industry benefits from a regulatory regime widely regarded as one of Europe’s most credible. The MGA’s oversight framework emphasizes investor protection, technical compliance, and financial stability, positioning Malta-licensed operators for trust and recognition across international markets.

Meridianbet’s expanded retail footprint across Malta and Gozo enhances its ability to serve both local customers and the island nation’s strong tourism sector. According to Malta’s National Statistics Office, tourist arrivals exceeded three million visitors in 2024, reinforcing the strategic value of a broad, well-positioned retail gaming network
