5-year vision targets 100,000 visitors for ICE and iGB Affiliate
Clarion Gaming has outlined an ambitious 5-year growth and development plan ahead of the relocation of its sector-leading ICE and iGB Affiliate shows from London to Barcelona in January 2025.
In an update which was issued six months in advance of the historic relocation to Barcelona, Clarion Gaming Managing Director Stuart Hunter said: “Our relocation to Barcelona provides us with the ability to scale the exhibition at a pace that suits the industry.
“The January 2025 show will comprise 120,000 sqm of space compared to the 100,000 sqm at ICE 2024. Whilst we could have filled 150,000 sqm in our first year in Barcelona we are very conscious of the need for controlled growth. Our strategy is to expand the physical size of the show in parallel with a proportionate uplift in attendance.
“The targets that we have set and which Barcelona enables us to achieve are to grow the show to 200,000 sqm over the next five-years and the attendance to circa 100,000 which will represent a 45 percent uplift on the record established at the February 2023 edition. These are bold targets which we are focussed on achieving in partnership with the industry and for the betterment of all of our stakeholders.”
He added that the move to Barcelona opened up the opportunity to redraw the floor plan to make it simpler for visitors. He confirmed: “Visitors seeking exhibitors in the casino sector will go to Hall 3, Hall 2 will be the home for online gaming, Hall 5 will accommodate the sports betting and esports community with the iGB Affiliate show housed in the 13,407 sqm capacity Hall 1. This will make the sourcing of sector-specific content even easier which will be of huge benefit to visitors wanting to optimise their attendance at what is their most important business event of the year.”
Stuart Hunter said that Clarion is poised to launch its ICE 2025 travel guide which will talk through the best ways for visitors to attend ICE and secure competitively priced hotel accommodation. He noted: “We have 40,000 hotel nights at the lowest rates possible for the duration of the five-year tenancy which can be accessed via our official accommodation partner network icehotels.bnetwork .com . In terms of travel, flights are well-priced and the venue is a 20-minute metro journey from the airport to Fira de Barcelona Gran Via’s integrated station.
“In a huge show of confidence exhibitors are backing the move with 72% of the 25 biggest exhibitors upsizing their stand presence in 2025. We are being told by the market that exhibitors more so than at any time in the past will be using the global platform provided by ICE/iGB Affiliate to launch new products and innovations to what promises to be the biggest gathering of gambling professionals on record.

1spin4win presents Lucky 1spin4win Hold and Win to mark its 5th anniversary
On May 14, 2026, 1spin4win reached a significant milestone — five years on the iGaming market. The anniversary motto, The Gold Standard of Classic Slots, reflects the studio’s evolution into a recognized name in the classic slot niche, built on years of industry expertise and commitment to delivering authentic gambling experiences.
Today, its portfolio features more than 200 games combining timeless appeal, advanced mathematics, and strong performance. In 2025, 1spin4win achieved a 52.06% increase in bet count and a 56.62% rise in GGR compared to 2024. This growth has helped the provider earn the trust of over 1,000 global operators, including leading brands such as SOFTSWISS, EveryMatrix, Alea, SoftGaming, Digitain, and BetConstruct.
As part of the milestone celebration, 1spin4win introduces Lucky 1spin4win Hold and Win, a special slot highlighting the studio’s landmark titles and renowned characters. Alongside traditional fruit, bells, and sevens, the colorful 3×3 grid features Wild symbols shaped as red bezel-set diamonds. When activated, they illuminate the “5 Years” sign, reinforcing the game’s anniversary theme.
The celebratory atmosphere continues through the slot’s rewarding features. Landing nine identical symbols doubles the win, while three or more Coins trigger the exciting Hold and Win Bonus round. With three starting respins, players get the chance to claim two festive Jackpots — the x100 Minipot Coin and the x1000 Megapot.
To mark the 5-year anniversary, 1spin4win is also launching special promotional campaigns in collaboration with Olymp and Selector. To give players additional opportunities to join the celebration, the partners will distribute exclusive promo codes, which will also be available to the registered users of the provider’s Players Room platform.
Olga Hlukhovskaya, Business Development Director at 1spin4win, commented, “Five years in the industry is an important testament to how far 1spin4win has come. Since 2021, we’ve grown into an acknowledged iGaming brand trusted by top global companies. Looking ahead, we plan to keep expanding across African and Latin American markets, deepen our relationships with regional operators, and further strengthen our presence in Europe. For us, this anniversary is not only about celebrating past achievements, but also about building the next stage of 1spin4win’s journey.

Stake releases Zoo casino game: a fast, multiplayer Stake Original where players bet on the wild side
A new live-round Stake Original where every player bets on the same outcome – six animals, a 20-tile track, three results per round, and wins up to 1,000x in play.
Stake, the world’s largest online casino and sportsbook, has today launched its Zoo casino game, a new multiplayer Stake Original that brings every player into the same live round to bet on six animals across a 20-tile track. Available worldwide on Stake, Zoo is the latest title to join the growing Stake Originals collection.
Zoo takes the shared-round excitement that has made games like Crash a Stake Originals staple and pairs it with simpler, more visual decision-making. Each round, six animals – Lion, Cheetah, Elephant, Crocodile, Rhino, and Penguin – appear on a 20-tile circular track, with each animal showing up a different number of times to create clear volatility tiers and payout differences across the board. Players have ten seconds to back one or more animals before the track spins up and locks in three result tiles in the center of the screen.
Zoo launches with a 98% RTP, a top multiplier of 1,000x per round, and full auto bet controls that let players preset their wager amount, number of rounds, and chosen animals. Designed as a simpler, more visual evolution of popular casino games like Roulette and Sic Bo, Zoo strips back the complexity without compromising on depth. The rarer the animal, the bigger the reward – Lion and Cheetah each appear only once on the track, Elephant and Crocodile twice, Rhino four times, and Penguin ten, giving players a clear read on the risk and payout of every play. With three result tiles drawn each round, players win based on how many times their chosen animal lands across all three.
“Zoo is exactly the kind of game we want Stake Originals to be known for – fast, simple to pick up, and genuinely fun to play in an online setting filled with other players. There’s real tension in watching the three tiles land for the whole table at once, and we think players are going to find their favourite animals pretty quickly,” said Stake’s Chief Marketing Officer, Akhil Sarin.
Zoo joins a growing line-up of in-house multiplayer game creations on Stake Casino, with the goal of keeping every Stake Original easy to learn, quick to play, and a little bit different from anything else in the iGaming industry.
