ATEI is now into its second year of the upstairs/downstairs divide and the past week has shown clear evidence that organiser Clarion Gaming still hasn't got the set up quite right.

Grumbles about low visitor numbers, clients not being able to find stands and a feeling that the show was becoming more focused on casino equipment with amusement as an afterthought, could be heard from every corner of the exhibition hall.

Whether this is the case or not is up to Clarion to comment, but what is clear is that things need to change if ATEI is to remain ‘one of the best’ international coin-op exhibitions in the show calendar.
