Nicola Lazenby, who re-joined EAG earlier this year as Director of the show said: “The industry has just experienced a really positive edition of ACOS and we will be continuing that momentum at EAG in January. 

“We will be delivering a show floor that reflects the energy of the industry and I’m delighted we have secured the support of leading exhibitors renowned for their innovation and creativity. EAG 2023 will be a fantastic opportunity to start the year and source a wealth of ideas, products and innovations for operators in the amusements and low-stake gaming space.”

Looking ahead to January John White, chief executive of EAG owners bacta said: “EAG and before that ATEI has provided a shopwindow for the industry and an invaluable opportunity to demonstrate the key credentials of this socially responsible business to politicians and policy makers. 

“Among a number of exciting plans which will see EAG celebrate the role of the industry in delivering fun, value for money entertainment we will be launching the industry’s first Land-Based Low Stake Safer Gambling Hub which will feature leading not for profit organisations including BetKnowmore, Breakeven, ESG Gaming, GamStop, GamCare and YGAM.

“The Safer Gambling Hub will represent a ‘go-to’ at-show feature for everyone wanting to learn more about the latest thinking in safer gambling and meet with some of the leading authorities in the space. I am confident it will be a focus for learning and debate corner stones of what a sector-leading exhibition such as EAG should deliver.”
