Italian ENADA show turns 30

The 30th edition of the Italian amusement show ENADA SPRING got underway last Wednesday (14th) morning at the Rimini Expo Centre. The gaming world once again has an appointment at Rimini Fiera for this reference expo, the most important for southern European trade members.

The event is organized by IEG Italian Exhibition Group and promoted by SAPAR, Italian Association of coin-op entertainment machines, with the support of EUROMAT and in collaboration with the main trade associations.

Those cutting the ribbon included the president of the chamber of commerce of Rimini, Fabrizio Moretti, along with Raffaele Curcio the chairman of SAPAR and IEG president, Lorenzo Cagnoni.

Moretti, said: “I believe the approach to socially sustainable gaming that stands out at this show is positive. I think that the social problems involved must be faced with initiatives of an educational and informative nature, whereas only taking action with regulations across the board doesn’t help to solve the problems.”

SAPAR chairman, Raffaele Curcio, said: “There is a considerable difference between Italy’s regulations and reality. ‘Physical’ gaming is being treated pitilessly and control of online gaming is culpably lacking.”

“The result is that companies are closing, employees are losing their jobs and revenue for the treasury is diminishing, while these areas are being occupied by uncontrolled situations. It doesn’t seem to be a balanced sensible choice to me,” Curcio added.

For the first time, the show has a dedicated area for esports, which are gaining in popularity in Italy.

Enada Spring involves the whole chain of the game, and features a showcase of everything new in this sector; from products, to technology and services from the most important Italian and foreign companies, useful for updating trade members’ knowledge: new slot machines, VLT and video games, all the equipment for amusement, including technology, payment systems, furnishing, fittings and services for amusement arcades and bingo halls. Plus a complete range of proposals regarding online gaming, mobile gaming and gaming facilities offered by Web licensees.
