As in years gone by, the Enada show, held in Rimini, Italy, earlier this month, was rife with rumours that the Italian market may soon see relief from its legislation problems and really take off.

According to Chris Cotty, of What’s Next Distributors/American Family Fun Centers, driving games, shooters and dancing games are still the top earners in the non-redemption field and as a far as redemption goes there were some great new games.

Games that particularly stood out included Benchmark’s Red Hot, Skee Ball’s Buzz Off and Coast to Coast’s Betty Boop pusher.

SBong, a life size game from newcomer Spin Vector Life, was also on display and received a great response from visitors.
