Hippodrome Casino to host international thought-leaders at ICE Symposium
The iconic Hippodrome Casino, located in the heart of London’s West End, will host the 2023 ICE Symposium taking place September 12. The Symposium, an initiative which was launched by Clarion Gaming last year, will feature over 100 invited industry thought leaders from 17 countries covering both the land-based and digital gaming sectors.
Heralding the event, Andy Ventris, Event Director responsible for ICE London, said: “We wanted to build on the success of last year’s Symposium which was hosted by Les Ambassadeurs Casino situated in Mayfair, London. Bringing industry thought leaders together in one place provides an ideal opportunity to listen to their views about the sector, learn from their insight and feed the intelligence back into the development teams responsible for ICE.”
He continued: “It also provides us with an opportunity to share the exciting plans that we have to celebrate ICE 2024 which will be the last edition of the show to be held at ExCeL London and of course to discuss the next chapter in the history of ICE with the relocation to Barcelona in 2025. I am sure that there will be many questions about what to expect from the relocation and the senior team led by Clarion Gaming MD Stuart Hunter who oversaw the six-month bid and evaluation process will be present to go into more detail about all of the opportunities presented by the move.”
“Attendees to the 2023 Symposium will also receive a keynote speech entitled ‘Gambling The Investment Landscape’ from Simon French, Managing Director Head of Growth Capital Solutions and Travel & Leisure at Panmure Gordon. Simon spent five years at Whitbread PLC before moving into equity research starting with the IPOs of 888 and 32Red, subsequently co-founding a boutique advisory business working with public and private companies in the gambling sector.
“We’ve had a fantastic response from our invited guests and we are immensely grateful to Simon Thomas, Executive Chairman, The Hippodrome Casino, for kindly hosting the Symposium.”

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has deepened its existing collaboration with prominent European operator 777, extending the agreement into Spain.
The initial partnership in Belgium proved a success, with Casino777.es set to build on that momentum by integrating a range of products from Thunderkick’s diverse portfolio, including the full Midas Golden Touch franchise and its popular Día de Muertos-inspired series, Esqueleto Explosivo.
The expansion of the agreement marks another step in amplifying Thunderkick’s position in a competitive market, with its Spanish commercial network now spanning numerous European heavyweights and rising regional operators.
The 777 brand is well-established across the continent, where it continues to broaden its online reach in addition to consolidating its retail footing through a partnership with Casino de Spa, one of the world’s oldest land-based facilities.
The onboarding of Thunderkick’s content will further elevate 777.es’ online casino offering, giving players access to distinctive, engaging content, while also strengthening the Swedish studio’s visibility in a jurisdiction earmarked as a priority within its wider European growth strategy.
Mariam Dodosh, Key Account Manager at Thunderkick, said: “The ongoing relationship between 777 and Thunderkick in Belgium is a fruitful one, and the expansion into Spain marked the natural next step of this collaboration.
“Our content continues to drive results with operators in the market, and we look forward to seeing our fan-favourite titles resonate with a new audience at 777.es.”
César Paredes, Country Manager at 777.es, added: “We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Thunderkick, and its commitment to creativity shines through in its games.
“We have no doubt Casino777.es players will enjoy the brand-new additions to our online casino as we continue to deliver fresh, dynamic content to the Spanish market. The integration of Thunderkick into our portfolio is another step in our commitment to providing our players with the best possible gaming experience.”
