ITL’s cash recyclers and biometric solutions centre stage at gaming show in Madrid
From March 15-17, Madrid will once again become the world capital of the gaming industry with the 38th edition of “Feria Internacional del Juego” – International Gambling and Gaming Trade Show. FIJMA 2022 will bring together international companies and manufacturers of slots and gaming equipment with the world’s leading representatives of the sector in Hall 7 of IFEMA.
The Spanish team at Innovative Technology will be exhibiting their latest offerings on stand #A8 and plan to have their cash recyclers and coin handling products centre stage, as well demonstrating how their biometrics solutions can be utilised to benefit the gaming industry.
Mustapha Hadj-Ahmed, ITL Sales Director commented, “FIJMAin March will be the first exhibition in the ITL calendar this year after a number of hi-profile postponements, so we are very much looking forward to meeting with other industry professionals and gaming operators in person. Usually biannual, the event this year is long overdue, the first since 2019, so it’s even more important to get all of the main players from the Spanish Gaming industry together again.”
Mustapha added, “We are looking forward to showing how combining our compact note recycler and advanced coin recycler, NV22 Spectral (NV22S) and Smart Coin System (SCS) gives Operators the best fit for cash handling efficiency for gaming machines in Spain. The compact NV22S fits into most existing gaming machines and can store and recycle up to 40 mixed denomination notes helping to reduce coin starvation to keep machines running. It is a unique product due to its multi note recycling capabilities, any note can be paid out, not just the last note in and Spectral Technology delivers outstanding protection against fraudulent and stained notes. The SCS coin validator, mixed coin hopper and recycler in one enables bulk and single coin inserts. With a large capacity of 1400 coins (€1 coins), customers have reported significant machine uptime improvements. Using both SCS and NV22S units combined gives the Operator considerable float management savings by reducing float levels by up to 30% and a reduction in refill times by at least 50%, saving time, resources and costs for your business.”
ITL have launched several biometric solutions over the past few years. ICU Intelligent Identification uses facial analysis technology for age verification & face recognition.
Continuing Mustapha said, “We will also demo both ICU Pro and ICU Lite. Using non-intrusive facial analysis technologies customers can control access and perform age verification at entrances to gaming venues or at individual machines or betting terminals. With world leading accuracy, offline usage and no recurring transaction fees, ICU is a cost-effective biometric solution available to all.”
Concluding Mustapha said, “We have very strong relationships with our Spanish customers so will proudly have our validators displayed on several of our customers’ stands at the show too. Our team will be on stand #A8 so come along and see how ourcompact, affordable peripherals can generate more profit and real operational efficiencies.”

Pirate Multi Coins – Feature-rich New Title from Fantasma Games
Slots players are taken on a swashbuckling adventure as they seek to unlock the Golden Chest in latest release from Fantasma Games
Pirate Multi Coins, a 6 reel, 5 position slot, is the latest title to hit the market from the Stockholm-based developer, Fantasma Games.
Golden Multi Coins are the key to unlocking big wins and features, with a random number of Coins appearing on each spin. Coins can hold either a monetary or multiplier value, and landing five on a spin awards all values shown.
In a break from standard slots, Pirate Multi Coins features no set paylines, with wins achieved when eight or more matching pay-symbols appear anywhere on the thirty-position matrix. Each win combines those symbols into another Coin, helping trigger the Multi Coin feature. The remaining spaces are filled by an Avalanche, which is Fantasma’s proprietary take on cascading reels.
Another air of suspense comes in the form of the Golden Chest at the top of the playing area. Any Coins landed during a spin which does not trigger the Multi Coin feature are added to the Golden Chest. The Golden Chest can trigger during any base-game spin where a coin is added to the chest, which rains more coins down upon the reels, guaranteeing a Multi Coin feature.
Finally, there is also a Free Spins feature, where landing four or more Scatter symbols awards fifteen free spins. Retriggers are also available during the feature, with three Scatters awarding five more free spins, and four Scatters awarding an additional fifteen spins!
Pirate Multi Coins comes with RTP options of 86%, 94.35% and 96.08%, sits at the medium range of the volatility scale and has a max win potential of 4999.x. It features a Scatter Boost option as well as a Bonus Buy for jurisdictions where this is applicable.
Fredrik Johansson, Founder and CEO of Fantasma Games, said: “In our first venture into the quintessential Pirate slot theme, Pirate Multi Coins brings a host of great features to all types of players.
“With multiple ways to trigger our various features as well as a medium level of volatility, we hope that it really appeals to every type of slots’ fan looking to find some buried treasure.
“Pirate Multi Coins takes to the high seas in thirty-four languages across our network of amazing operator partners on April 30th.”

New focus for safer gambling as Clarion confirms launch of Sustainable Gambling Zone
The Consumer Protection Zone (CPZ), which since its launch at ICE 2018 has developed to become the highest profile feature on the ICE show floor has been re-branded to become the Sustainable Gambling Zone (SGZ).
The strategic decision has been taken following extensive stakeholder consultation and is set against the heightened importance placed on proactive customer interventions at earlier stages of the player journey.
The SGZ will be debuted at July’s iGB L!VE prior to its official launch at ICE 2025, the first edition of the industry’s most influential b2b gaming show to be held at its new home in Barcelona
Clarion Gaming’s Director of Industry Insight and Engagement, Ewa Bakun, who has seen the CPZ develop to become the key platform for the industry to advance its understanding and implementation of safer gambling measures and raise standards said: “I must stress that this is much more than just a cosmetic exercise. Instead, the Sustainable Gambling Zone, with its refreshed focus, will engage with the broader stakeholder group of operators who are focused on long-term sustainability, something which goes way beyond simply meeting the regulatory mandate.
“The overarching objective of the Sustainable Gambling Zone is to be at the vanguard of initiatives to help develop healthy play from the outset which includes the incorporation of safer gambling considerations from the very start rather than as a compliance requirement.
“While not yet standard across the whole of the industry, this more holistic approach underpins the safer gambling dynamic. Its goal is to create a more sustainable business in which players continue to enjoy their gambling entertainment experience with the small proportion who are at risk of developing problems pro-actively identified and assisted by operators.”
Clarion Gaming Managing Director, Stuart Hunter added: “The relocation to Barcelona will enable us to expand the ICE and iGB Affiliate offerings but also raise the bar in terms of what we already deliver on behalf of the international industry.
“The intended broader appeal of the Sustainable Gambling Zone dovetails with our relocation and will bring the SGZ closer geographically to continental Europe and closer culturally to the Latin American markets that we serve.
“Barcelona will open a new chapter for ICE/iGB Affiliate and their respective features, not least the Sustainable Gambling Zone.”
