Gaming professionals from 150+ nations gain first-hand access to top Konami games and technology
Konami Gaming, Inc. announced a significant line-up of compelling new cabinets and popular progressive series at the 2020 ICE London event in ExCeL London, UK. More than 35,000+ guests are expected at the exhibition on February 4 – 6, where Konami is filling Stand #S7-110 with its latest proven gaming entertainment. Series including Dragon’s Law SeleXion®, Ba Fang Jin Bao™, and Treasure Ball™ have demonstrated success across Konami’s specialty 4K Ultra High-Definition (UHD) machines, KX 43™ and Concerto Opus™. As part of its continuing support for core dual-screen cabinets, the company is showcasing over two dozen original themes on Concerto™ upright and Slant™—from jackpot progressives to SeleXion® multi-game compatible content. Gaming executives and professionals at this year’s event will also encounter the official ICE premiere of Konami’s new 49J machine, offering high-end 4K entertainment across a 49-inch, “J-curve” display.
The annual January gaming exhibition at London’s Earls Court is once again officially known as ICE. Originally the “International Casino Exhibition,” two years ago the organizers changed the event name to “International Gaming Expo,” in a nod to the expanding presence of online gaming and betting businesses on the expo floor. Bringing together 600+ solutions and 35,000+ professionals across all sectors of gaming (20-22 April 2021), ICE London is your complete platform to explore the future of Gaming and drive revenues through invaluable meetings and networking opportunities. Alfastreet creates Casino atmosphere at London ICE The 2020 edition of the ICE show in London was a success and a confirmation of the producers’ development directions and efforts. Along with a complete overview of the upgraded product lineup, the exhibition marked the world premiere of the brand new Alfastreet Verso single terminal. The next edition of ICE London and iGB Affiliate London will now open in June at the ExCeL London Exhibition Centre. ICE London will run across 29th, 30th June and July 1st with the co-located iGB Affiliate London taking place July 1st and 2nd. IGB Live 2021 will also be moving, to 28th September to 1st October, Amsterdam, ensuring a cohesive and effective events calendar for all audiences.
“This year’s ICE lineup is a demonstration of Konami’s commitment to delivering today’s top games, while driving new innovation for the future of the casino floor,” said Eduardo Aching, vice president, international gaming operations. “From the proven performance of Konami’s latest linked progressives, to creative advancements across the 49J cabinet, ICE attendees can experience a range of leading entertainment.”
ICE 2020 includes two specialty Konami cabinets, each with relaxed slant top, dual spin buttons, dual cup holders, and an exceptional 4K game library. Konami’s 43-inch screen KX 43 and 65-inch screen Concerto Opus cabinets will showcase several of the industry’s highest performing slot series. Treasure Ball is a top new linked progressive, with the ability to offer a mix of base game options to players through SeleXion multi-game. ICE 2020 also includes the special release of Dragon’s Law SeleXion, which combines the popularity of Dragon’s Law Rapid Fever™ and Dragon’s Law Boosted™ in one machine. Inspired by the success of Konami’s classic Cai Lai Si Ji™, an entirely new 4K linked progressive called Ba Fang Jin Bao has demonstrated success with flexible betting options and original base games. These ICE show highlights are available now across international markets.
“KX 43 and Opus are trusted Konami game cabinets, backed by a large library of successful game series,” said Aching. “We are confident about the entertainment and performance these specialty slots deliver—spanning everything from compatible multi-game content to entirely new progressive mechanics.”
This event also marks the ICE premiere of 49J, Konami’s latest high-end slot segment. With standout launch series like All Aboard™, the 49J is delivering top-tier entertainment quality and variety to global operators. The machine is a must-see showcase at ICE 2020, complete with spectacular overhead signage and lighted LED chairbacks. Two unique All Aboard base games are available for launch: Dynamite Dash™ and Piggy Pennies™.
“As KX 43 and Opus continue to gain global momentum, the new 49J is further expanding Konami’s high-end product offering by combining powerful games with premium merchandizing options,” Eduardo Aching said. “This distinctive ‘J-curve’ machine empowers operators with greater options when outfitting their casino floor.”
Konami Gaming’s ICE 2020 presentation additionally contains fresh dual-screen content for upright and slant. SeleXion-compatible base games, integrated progressives, and linked progressives are included, to support continued core product investment across international markets.

Game developer and casino content provider, Playson, is set to unveil a new series of video slots at the ICE London 2020 exhibition.
This gaming industry expo is one of the largest in the world and visited by over 35,000 people every year.
In addition to that…
…over 600 of the most innovative iGaming companies are expected to exhibit their newest and most interesting products.
For the industry, ICE is an opportunity to present themselves in the best light and strike new business deals.
Funky Fruits
Playson is taking this opportunity as well…
…and they will showcase their newly announced series of slots – the Funky Fruits series.
This new series of games looks to the illustrious past of gambling and innovates on the old concepts with new features and gimmicks.
The first in the series is Red Chilli Wins
In this take on the classic fruit machine, wins are counted both ways – from left to right and right to left.
And that’s not all…
…because winning combination can occur anywhere on the bet line as long as three or more symbols are adjacent.
Finally, there are wild symbols in the form of super-hot chili peppers. They don’t just stand in for any other symbol, though. They can also multiply winnings with x3 or x5 multipliers.
Paring down all the gimmicks and distractions…
…punters are left with a classic-inspired offering with top-notch graphics. It all comes down the essence of video slot action. Hitting that spin button and hoping for a big multiplied win.
More than Just Games
The developer will exhibit more than just games at this year’s ICE. In addition to the new Funky Fruits they will also show off their suite of promotional tools.
These bespoke engagement tools help casino operators improve player experience and retention.
