The largest trade show for the gaming industry in Australasia is preparing for its opening at the Sydney Exhibition Centre at Glebe Island, which runs from August 11-13.
Run by the Gaming Technologies Association, last year’s show was a finalist in the EEAA Awards for Excellence and covered 15,600sq.ft.
Main exhibitors this year are Ainsworth, Aristocrat, Aruze, Bally, Ebet, IGT and Konami and they play their part in attracting visitors from all over the world. There are 165 exhibitors this year, 31 of them at the show for the first time.
Access to the show on Glebe Island will be via the complimentary Sydney Harbour ferry cruise from Darling Harbour. It is expected that last year’s attendance will be surpassed.
Australia has 17 casinos but a very large clubs market, which is the largest single sector for its gaming machines.
