TCSJOHNHUXLEY receives ICE Landmark Award for 50th Anniversary
ICE 2023 saw Clarion Gaming inaugurate the ICE Landmark Awards to recognise milestone achievements and successes of organisations and individuals in international gaming. The recipients of these awards are industry nominated and approved by the ICE stakeholder management team.
TCSJOHNHUXLEY, celebrating its Golden Anniversary this year, was presented with an ICE Landmark Award 2023 in recognition of its services to the gaming industry over an incredible 50 years. The award was presented on the TCSJOHNHUXLEY stand by Clarion’s Alex Pratt and Stuart Hunter, to Executive Chairman, Tristan Sjöberg and Director, Michael Knutsson.
Tristan Sjöberg commented, “Myself and Michael are extremely proud and honored to receive this ICE Landmark Award on behalf of the company. Celebrating 50 years is a significant milestone which we could not have achieved without our most valued customers, partners, and exceptional team. We are humbled to receive the award and it seemed most fitting it should be presented at this show, as we were one of the first casino companies to exhibit more than 30 years ago. Both the show and TCSJOHNHUXLEY has grown substantially and seen many successes… we look forward to both celebrating many more years!”
The award ceremony coincided with an informal reception celebration on the stand, attended by new and old friends of the company, including Jeff and Linda Lindsay, the original owners of John Huxley Casino Equipment Ltd.

Push Gaming launches its games with Slots Temple in the UK
B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming is the latest studio to partner with the new UK-facing online casino from the brains behind the popular affiliate site Slots Temple.
Push Gaming’s formidable line-up of games includes all its famous titles, live on the fresh, new entrant to the UK market. Razor Returns, Retro Tapes and Big Bamboo can all be enjoyed by Slots Temple players.
The highly anticipated sequel Retro Sweets will soon be available, along with the rest of Push’s upcoming new games roadmap, including Cats of Olympuss and The Grand Show.
A group of online gaming enthusiasts runs Slots Temple with decades of industry experience. Together, they have brought their combined knowledge and passion to bear with one of the fastest-growing new sites in the UK market.
The partnership marks another step forward in Push Gaming’s recent impressive global growth as it maintains its momentum in the latter stages of H1.
Fiona Hickey, Chief Business Development Officer at Push Gaming, said: “It’s not often you see established affiliate sites taking the step into real-money operating but the move speaks volumes for the experience and ambition of the team at Slots Temple.
“That kind of drive and vision mirrors how we develop at Push and so it’s a pleasure to work with them and add our leading slot library to its ranks. It also strengthens our position in the key UK market as we continue expanding in regulated markets.”
Fraser Linkleter, Director at Slots Temple added: “Push Gaming and its renowned collection of games needs no introduction to UK players. It’s a brand we absolutely had to have in our lobby and we think our players will wholeheartedly agree.
“We’re all about quality, choice and today’s best slots. Push Gaming gives us that in abundance and we’re delighted to welcome its content to our platform.”

Crown Reinstated at Sydney Casino
The NSW Independent Casino Commission has found Crown Sydney suitable to retain its casino licence after nearly three years of intensive remediation.
Chief Commissioner, Philip Crawford, said Crown has come a long way and must now demonstrate its long-term commitment to maintaining suitability.
“The NICC is confident the Crown we deemed suitable today has a strong model to keep operating into the future,” Mr Crawford said.
The NICC’s suitability assessment established that Crown Sydney has fundamentally reformed its business and is operating the casino within the objects of the Act, the requirements of the suitability deed, and in compliance with its regulatory obligations.
In addition to proving it can run the casino lawfully, Crown has remediated its business in other meaningful ways such as building a culture of transparency and accountability across its integrated resort.
“Hard work and transformation aside, the NICC has not forgotten the level of misconduct exposed in 2021 when Crown was found unsuitable,” said Mr Crawford.
“Crown Sydney has ongoing work to reach steady state and it must continue to lift standards and maintain its cultural transformation.
“There is and will always be room for improvement, but Crown is a changed business that is looking toward the future.
“Likewise, the NICC is a changed regulator with enhanced powers, a singular focus on casinos, and a mandate to address the risks of harm.
“This decision is a positive outcome for Crown Sydney, its staff, and the community – who can be sure the NICC will use all of its powers to keep the casino in check.”
In addition to the implementation of hundreds of new internal controls, the Bergin-based reforms have been reflected in a new licence and new regulatory agreement between Crown Sydney, the NSW Government and the NICC.
These agreements include updated settings, such as the removal of fetters to the NICC’s powers, as well as previous compensation trigger clauses that are no longer part of the casino legislation.
Mr Crawford said: “Crown cannot disregard the responsibility and privilege that comes with holding a casino licence. Crown Sydney’s ability to provide a destination hospitality and entertainment venue underpinned by the restricted gaming facility is contingent on its steadfast commitment to continuing suitability, accountability and compliance.”
