Industry gathers in Barcelona

it’s all go in Barcelona this week as the sixth annual European i-Gaming Congress and Expo kicks off with a host of online bingo hall operators and developers of online bingo games joining the action.

Major players in the online gaming industry will be gathering to discuss a whole range of issues related to the industry, but the one issue that is sure to dominate is the effects being felt by the industry since the implementation of the UIGEA law in the US.

What is likely to come out of the meeting is the general feeling that the industry has shown a remarkable resilience in the face of losing the huge US market thanks to UIGEA. Bouncing back from being shut out of the US market will be a major focus of discussions by various industry representatives and operators from all walks of online gaming will be there trying to glean tips on how to prosper in a post-UIGEA world.

While I don’t expect to hear of any shocks or earth-shattering developments from the congress, it will be worthwhile taking note on how the industry mood fares once this showcase event finishes. Let’s see if bingo online and the online bingo community can learn anything from the offerings of a myriad of online gaming industry speakers – you never know what number is coming up next!
