Innovative Technology Americas are preparing for a major gaming show in the US – G2E 2025 – which will take place on October 6-9 at the Las Vegas Venetian Expo. Global Gaming Expo (G2E) is the gambling industry trade show for discovering the latest technologies and connecting with partners. Innovative Technology (ITL), a trusted provider of bill validators and recyclers to the gaming industry, will be showing their latest devices, from booth 1830.

Commenting on ITL’s participation, Lauren Fabbri, Business Development Manager for North America said, “This is always an exciting exhibition for us and we can’t wait to show G2E visitors our latest technology. We are experiencing huge growth across North America, as well as expanding our presence in South American, so this show presents an ideal platform to network with customers and suppliers in this vibrant market. Interest in our NV200 casino grade, field-proven bill validator is rising and with its “easy to retrofit” design, we are seeing more operators upgrading their existing machines. Come to the booth and see how this unit can transform cash handling for your gaming operations.”

Lauren continued: “We will also showcase a selection of bill recyclers at the booth with varying capacities depending on your need, including the NV4000 which is ideal for redemption terminals due to its large multi-bill recycling capacity, NV22S for a compact bill recycling solution, and the Spectral Payout for mid-range mixed denomination recycling. When using any of our recyclers with the SMART Coin System we can provide the gaming industry with a complete payment solution for both bills and coins.”

Concluding Lauren said: “G2E visitors will also be able to demo our latest AI-powered age and identity verification technology too. These products can be used to help prevent underage gambling, either on-machine or at entrances to age-restricted gaming zones. The team will be happy to answer any questions and demonstrate our products on booth 1830 – see you in Las Vegas!”

VIP Play has announced that its CEO, Les Ottolenghi, will deliver a featured keynote at the AI4 2025 Conference in Las Vegas on August 13. The presentation, titled “Real-Time AI at the Edge: How Data Velocity Is Redefining Consumer Engagement,” will focus on how next-gen & AI technologies are transforming real-time player interaction and reshaping the future of gaming and entertainment.

Ottolenghi, a pioneer of innovative & disruptive technologies across various industries, recently transitioned from his role as Chief Commercial and Transformation Officer at Lee Enterprises to lead VIP Play, a tech-forward company applying real-time data modeling and predictive analytics to personalize engagement in high-velocity digital environments such as online gambling.

At AI4, Ottolenghi will unveil the Information Refinery Model—a strategic enterprise framework designed to deliver scalable, intelligent experiences in milliseconds. This model draws on Ottolenghi’s leadership in gaming technology, as CIO of Caesars Entertainment, Las Vegas Sands, and Codere Inc, and his role in co-founding the Blackfire Innovation Center, a hub for gaming and hospitality technology innovation.

“Gaming and tech executives understand that speed is the new currency of engagement. This keynote at AI4 is about how real-time systems, intelligent automation, and predictive modeling can unlock new revenue and retention models—across gaming, media, and beyond,” said Ottolenghi.

AI4 is one of the most respected global forums for applied AI, drawing enterprise leaders, technologists, and venture-backed innovators. Ottolenghi’s talk is expected to provide immediate, actionable insights for CTOs, product leaders, and strategists seeking to deploy real-time AI at scale, particularly in high-frequency industries such as gaming, streaming, fintech, and mobile.
