Industry giant Innovative Technology (ITL) happily announced that the company will participate at Feria Internacional del Juego (FIJMA). FIJMA is the biggest network of industry professionals in Spain, and the event that celebrates its 40th anniversary will be held from May 7 to May 9 in Madrid.

Demonstration at Feria Internacinal del Juego

Of all the leisure and gaming events in Spain, this one is by far the most important. FIJMA hosts various companies, industry experts, and manufacturers who provide information about the most recent trends, new slot games, and innovations in equipment.

For all who want to visit ITL’s stand, the company will be located on stand A49. Among the main products the company wants to promote at the event are their latest note recyclers and new unique solutions. On top of that, the visitors will be able to see new biometrics solutions and understand how they can be used to prevent minors from gambling.

A General Manager for ITL Spain, Jose Garcia Escudero, said: “We are looking forward to showing how combining our compact note recycler (NV22 Spectral) and advanced coin recycler (SMART Coin System) gives the best fit for cash handling efficiency for gaming machines in Spain. These solutions now dominate the Spanish gaming market giving operators considerable float management savings, fewer refills, and a massive reduction in coin starvation for improved machine uptime. We’ll also show the new NV4000 mixed denomination note recycler to the Spanish gaming market for the first time, ideal for high volume applications like change and redemption terminals.”

ITL is one of the most famous companies when it comes to using AI to develop biometric solutions that help in age verification. The technology can be used on the entrances of gaming venues and it also can be integrated into gaming machines, which provides a safe and secure option when it comes to preventing underage gambling.

Jose added: “We will also have our age check devices on the stand for visitors to demo which can help operators prevent someone potentially underage or even self-excluded from trying to play a machine or access an age-restricted area. ICU Lite can be fully integrated into a gaming machine or betting terminal to automatically estimate age to prevent minors from playing. MyCheckr can be utilized at 18+ entrances to prevent access. Both devices have a one-off cost with no subscriptions and no internet required. Our technology is affordable, available to all, and trusted, with no biometric personal data stored. We have very strong relationships with the Spanish market and we’re proud to know that our products will be displayed on a number of stands by our long-standing customers. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone in person in Madrid and we welcome you all to stand A49.”

Industry leader

ITL has been present on the market for more than 30 years, and since the beginning of its journey, it has established itself as a leader in the industry. Recently, the company has focused on two major solutions: cash-handling equipment and AI-powered biometric solutions.

Among the products the company has developed are bill acceptors and recyclers, multi-coin hoppers, and famous technology that provides facial recognition.

At the moment, the company manufactures its products at two locations, and they’re available to partners all over the world. Its partner network currently includes more than 20 big industry names.

Gaming Realms, which is the author of many reimagined iGaming titles that have been redesigned to include the Slingo mechanic, is now expanding into the regulated market in Spain, growing its local presence with the established operator.

Big Demand for Slingo Games in Spain

The company has managed to take many popular and successful games and cast them through the prism of Slingo, with titles such as Slingo Sweet Bonanza, Slingo Cleopatra, Slingo Reel King, Slingo Da Vinci Diamonds, and Slingo Stardust just some of the company’s top-performing blockbusters.

Slingo has already been proven as a successful format and enjoyed a strong reception in the Spanish market, with Gaming Realms doubly enthusiastic about the expansion of its product offer.

“By offering our players Gaming Realms’ unique portfolio we add a new level of entertainment to our online casino that will strengthen our proposition and attract a new audience,” García concluded. The Slingo mechanic is not just some novelty that operators want to have.

The feature has been making forays in multiple markets and with some of the biggest brands in the world of gambling. Entain even acquired a license from Gaming Realms to develop its own Slingo game.
