Featured in the suite of new games is Tetris® Super Jackpots, which brings one of the most recognized video game brands in the world to the online slot sector for the first time. In this title, developed by SG Digital’s Bally studio, players will be mesmerized by the iconic Tetriminos. To add to the frantic fun, Tetris® Super Jackpots also includes an exciting Tetrimino feature in the base game, which can occur randomly on any spin. If activated, the Tetrimino feature will randomly be placed on or above the reels, replacing any covered symbols with a random Tetrimino. The feature can add up to 477 additional ways for players to win. The title also boasts a free games bonus that features the catchy Tetris theme song with guaranteed wins.
SG Digital will also showcase Wonder Hounds™, the latest innovative title from the NextGen Gaming studio, part of the recently acquired NYX Gaming Group. The 3×5, 25-payline slot has players join a pack of international pooches on the prowl for big prizes. Up to 15 sticky wilds can be awarded during the free games round, while the Wonder Hounds icons can transform into a Wild reel per spin. Wonder Hounds will launch in February 2018 to coincide with the Lunar New Year – Year of the Dog. As part of the launch, NextGen is proud to be making a charitable contribution to animal welfare charities.
The launches represent the combined creative forces of legacy SG Interactive and NYX Gaming Group. The new SG Digital division of Scientific Games will offer the broadest portfolio of games in the iGaming industry from its world-class development studios.
Matt Davey, Group Chief Executive, SG Digital, said, “We’re excited to showcase the first of our new and innovative games launched under the SG Digital brand.
“Following the creation of our new digital division, we have brought together the leading creative minds of the iGaming industry to offer our partners the broadest portfolio available in the market.

ECA and AGEM applaud creation of Association Assembly at ICE Barcelona
The news that January’s ICE Barcelona will include a major new feature dedicated to global gaming’s most influential trade associations has been welcomed by organisations in Europe and abroad.
Making full use of the additional space at the Gran Via Fira de Barcelona, the first ICE Association Assembly has been created to enable trade bodies to promote their values and create new opportunities for the gaming community across every sector and geography, including both the Brussels-based European Casino Association (ECA) and the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM), the global trade association for gaming equipment suppliers with its primary headquarters in Las Vegas.
Erwin Van Lambaart, Chair of the ECA confirmed: “Our members are already planning their week in Barcelona and they will be at this historic edition of ICE in great numbers. ICE is a pivotal event for the global gaming community and having a show floor feature which will enable us to engage directly with all sectors is a unique opportunity.
“Traditionally, our association’s involvement at ICE and its Conference program has primarily centred around networking and product development orientation—connecting with our members, regulators, suppliers, and fellow trade bodies. However, ICE 2025 marks a significant milestone. For the first time, the ECA will have the chance to fully interface with the global industry supply chain in its entirety. We are looking forward to this unique opportunity to articulate our vision for the future to a diverse and comprehensive audience, where innovation, responsibility and significant partnerships for guest and customer centricity will have centre stage.”
Daron Dorsey, CEO of AGEM added: “We represent the interests of our gaming suppliers whose well-known brands are global in reach, so to be given the opportunity to explain our agenda and engage with what is a truly international audience of association colleagues on the ICE show floor is invaluable.”
January’s editions of ICE and iGB Affiliate will occupy 120,000sqm of space compared to the 100,00sqm at ICE 2024. In a major endorsement of the opportunities offered by the relocation to Barcelona 72% of the 25 biggest exhibitors will have an increased stand presence at ICE 2025.
