The recent International Casino Exhibition (ICE) in London was a resounding success this year, with the excellent turn-out of approximately 25 000 people proving that the change in US online gambling legislation in 2007 has not sounded a death-knell for the industry.

Apart from hosting exhibitors from all over the world and allowing them to display the latest industry-related products to visitors, the ICE also provides a platform for speakers on new online gambling developments, including online bingo. The idea is to make visitors aware of upcoming launches and trends.

Dominating the future-predictions was the growing trend towards online gaming.

Boss Media, one of the foremost Swedish developers of “innovative software and systems for digitally-distributed gaming entertainment”, was well-represented at the exhibition. They agree that the development of online gaming, specifically online bingo, will definitely be one of the major business trends in 2008.

With numerous companies providing a strong backing for the development of online gaming, it would seem that the industry and all its players have an exciting year ahead.
