“We are anticipating another record attendance with industry professionals drawn by the 600+ exhibitors who will be present, the thousands of product launches which are timetabled to coincide with the show and the opportunity to engage with leading international thought leaders, decision makers and regulators across all gaming sectors and verticals courtesy of the ICE VOX learning platform.”

He added: “In keeping with our 2024 ICE creative we are expecting more visitors than ever before motivated by the desire to make more connections, gain more inspiration and benefit from more learning.

“The market looks to ICE for solutions and it’s clear that the event plays a pivotal role  for the international gaming industry supply chain of innovators, service providers and operators who view ICE as their most important business event of the year.”

The decision to relocate ICE and sister show iGB Affiliate to Barcelona was taken following an exhaustive six-month process competitive bid process which was overseen by an independent external agency and endorsed by the ICE Advisory Board comprising a cross-section of major international brands active in both online and land-based gaming. The inaugural editions of ICE Barcelona and iGB Affiliate Barcelona will take place at the 240,000 sqm capacity Fira de Barcelona from 20 to 22 January 2025.

Pragmatic Play, a leading iGaming content supplier, has launched Gates of Olympus Roulette, a live casino experience that merges classic roulette with thrilling slot-action, delivering a game show truly fit for the gods.

Set in a temple-inspired studio with a marble-encased roulette wheel at its centre, the game immerses players in a Grecian fantasy world, complete with striking visuals, dramatic sounds, and charismatic presenters.

Each spin offers the chance to hit a Bonus Number and up to seven Lucky Numbers, carrying multipliers of 50x–250x to boost straight-up bets. The Super Booster feature further amplifies wins by multiplying the Bonus and selected Lucky Numbers 2x–10x, enabling potential payouts of up to 2,500x in the base game and 10,000x in the bonus round.

Landing the Bonus Number triggers the Gates of Olympus bonus game, where Zeus presides over a 6×5 slots grid. Starting with 15 spins, players win whenever 8–12+ matching symbols appear anywhere on the reels. Multipliers up to 500x can strike randomly on any spin or tumble, and three or more scatters award five additional spins.

Following the success of Sweet Bonanza CandyLand, which brought the iconic Sweet Bonanza slot to live casino audiences, Gates of Olympus Roulette underscores Pragmatic Play’s expertise in transforming beloved slot IPs into cross-vertical live experiences. The launch complements recent game show hits like Money Time and Mega Roulette 3000.

Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said:
“Gates of Olympus Roulette is a spectacular addition to our portfolio, bringing one of our most celebrated IPs into the live casino spotlight. The epic studio design, dynamic roulette-slot fusion, and immersive Grecian theme showcase Pragmatic Play’s commitment to creating truly standout player experiences.”

Thunder Ball: ELA Games Reinvents the Classic Fruit Slot

Exciting Multipliers, Electrifying Lightning Bonuses, and Four Impending Jackpots Are Ready in this Medium-Volatility 3×3 Game.

ELA Games reveals the launch of Thunder Ball, an energetic 3×3 slot that injects a vibrant boost into the classic fruit machine gameplay. Mixing nostalgic icons with a whirlwind of contemporary, unpredictable mechanics, this game encourages players to wield the force of lightning-like spheres for an opportunity to achieve a colossal 10,000x top prize.

A Roaring Central Gameplay

Operating on a small 3-reel, 3-row setup featuring 5 paylines, Thunder Ball quickly escalates the suspense. The excitement is driven by the Thunder Balls, which are the Bonus Symbols in the game, appearing on the first and third reels with multiplier values that vary from 1x to 15x the player’s bet. The voltage surges when the essential Collect Symbol falls with any of these orbs. This blend instantly activates the Boost Feature, a mechanism that promptly collects all visible Bonus values and Jackpots displayed on the screen, adding them straight to the player’s balance in a sudden burst of rewards.

Unexpected Hits and the Thunderball Reward

Even spins that don’t win can possess winning potential in this chaotic, unsettled environment. The Lucky Respin can randomly trigger after a dead spin, unexpectedly granting players a certain line win, a Boost feature, or immediate access to the Bonus Game.

To achieve the best effect, the Thunderball Feature can unexpectedly launch the Bonus Game directly from the regular spins and can even prepare the grid with Thunderball Multipliers prior to the start of the round. Upon entering the Bonus Game, players are granted three respins that reset each time a new Thunder Ball symbol secures its position.

While the storm continues, Thunderball Multipliers may randomly appear on the grid. When a multiplier lands in an already occupied cell, it increases by +2, progressively enhancing the value of any Bonus Symbols prior to their collection. Amidst the tempest of retro symbols, the Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand Jackpots await, where each flash of lightning holds the possibility of a flood of prizes.

Game Stats:
● Reels: 3×3
● Paylines: 5
● RTP: 96%
● Volatility: Mid
● Max Win: x10,000 (€250,000)
● Buy Bonus: No
