What are your expectations about ICE?
ICE Totally Gaming is a very important European exhibition for us. It is important that the exhibition is held at the beginning of the year, because it encourages us to work in the right direction. We think that this year's show will be entertaining, because the London exhibition brings together all the people that are interested and working in the gaming area.
How do you think the new venue will have influence in the development of the show?
We are used to the old exhibition center, "Earls Court", and we were happy to come here every year to a familiar place. But, judging by the plans of the new location the organizers have shown, they have through in all the details, in order not to create transportation problems to the exhibitors and guests. I think that the change of the exhibition location on "Excel" should not affect the development of the show, as ICE Totally Gaming Show has established itself as one of the largest and most important events in the gaming industry. We see that this year the exhibition organizers have prepared some surprises for exhibitors, and we are of course very happy! For our company, ICE exhibition is very significant and we hope that everything will be great.
What products will you present? What are its main features?
For the first time at ICE 2013 we will present a new cabinet - Hybrid, which is a unique achievement of DLV Company. Hybrid was designed by creative team DLV according to the latest requirements of the gaming technology.
DLV will show the gaming platform with a design that has become quite typical at the moment. Besides, the platform introduces a new gambling concept. In addition to that, we want to present the latest series Jewel Jackpot 3, which, compared to previous versions of Jewel Jackpot and 1 Jewel Jackpot 2, consists of 15 games and has a 5,10 and 20 paylines.
What are your main markets in EMEA? What goals will you pursue this year, especially in Europe?
Our main market is in Latvia, where our head office is located. For us all markets are important, but now we are working in Europe, South America and Asia. Maybe the new year will open new and markets, namely the London exhibition gives impetus to the European market.
