Slot industry experts gathered in Hannover, Germany in March for the European Casino Association Slot Summit at the city's RP5 casino entertainment centre. Some 70+ delegates from across Europe - including participants from Germany, The Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Scandinavia - were treated to a packed, three-day programme of high-power presentations and panel discussions, product demonstrations and sneak technology previews.

Each session focussed on a specific topic related to improving the casino slot floor - from the use of mystery prizes to data handling and requirements, effective marketing, performance assessment and server based gaming - giving delegates the chance to examine the challenges facing modern casinos and discuss the opportunities available through new technologies. To ensure all delegates gained the maximum benefit from the event, a team of simultaneous interpreters was on hand throughout the entire three days.

Organiser Lucien Wijsman was clearly delighted with the success of the event: "Judging by the feedback received from delegates and sponsors, the event has been a great success. The facilities at RP5, which is also home to Spielbank Hannover, are perfect for an event of this kind. I am sure the delegates will be returning to their home casinos revitalized and with many fresh ideas to optimize the potential of their slot floors."

"We have been very impressed by the event from the outset and would like to thank and congratulate Lucien Wijsman for all his efforts," said ECA Chairman Ron Goudsmit. "We look forward to continuing this fruitful partnership at the next Slot Summit in Paris in September."

The European Casino Association would specially like to thank Emila Tomachinska from D-Systems, all the helping hands at Spielbank Hannover as well as all the sponsors (Ainsworth Game Technology, Alfa Street, Austrian Gaming Industries, Bally Technologies, Inspired Gaming, IGT, Gaming Support, Spielo International, Konami and EGT ) for their support and is looking forward to welcoming delegates at the next Slot Summit, which will be held in Paris, France in September 2012.
