The Entertainment, Attractions and Gaming (EAG) Expo is set to bring the UK’s biggest showcase of casino arcade games to London.

The event is known as ‘The London Show,’ as the Social Immersive Entertainment Expo and the London Casino & Gaming Show will also take place simultaneously, with all three appealing to the same crowds.

Exhibitors will include companies from family entertainment centres, adult gaming centres, theme parks, piers, attractions, bars, clubs, bingo halls and bowling centres.

Over 4,000 operators are expected to attend, with more than 1,000 new products and innovations from 300 brands showcased during the event.

Under-represented sectors, such as bingo and safer gambling, will also have their own dedicated areas and show features.

A number of Bacta networking events will be hosted throughout the show.

The UK Dealers’ Championship and the Casino Bartender of the Year will take place over the three-day event, both of which shine a light on land-based casino employees from across the country.

Visitors can also expect to attend talks on generating customer loyalty, capitalising on major events, driving customer engagement through karaoke, diversifying pub offerings and a discussion with Nick Moran from Phantom Peak.

Key speakers at the event include Colin Campbell, Sega Technical Services Manager; Robert Gibb, Bacta Executive Director of Commercial; Peter Davies, Inspired Entertainment Managing Director; Simon Thomas, Hippodrome Casino Executive Chairman; Dawn Clarke, Mitchells & Butlers Head of Electronic Leisure; Sylvia Oates, Best Bar None Scheme Manager; and Matt Zarb-Cousin, Gamban Director.
