ITL’s cash recyclers and biometric solutions centre stage at gaming show in Madrid
From March 15-17, Madrid will once again become the world capital of the gaming industry with the 38th edition of “Feria Internacional del Juego” – International Gambling and Gaming Trade Show. FIJMA 2022 will bring together international companies and manufacturers of slots and gaming equipment with the world’s leading representatives of the sector in Hall 7 of IFEMA.
The Spanish team at Innovative Technology will be exhibiting their latest offerings on stand #A8 and plan to have their cash recyclers and coin handling products centre stage, as well demonstrating how their biometrics solutions can be utilised to benefit the gaming industry.
Mustapha Hadj-Ahmed, ITL Sales Director commented, “FIJMAin March will be the first exhibition in the ITL calendar this year after a number of hi-profile postponements, so we are very much looking forward to meeting with other industry professionals and gaming operators in person. Usually biannual, the event this year is long overdue, the first since 2019, so it’s even more important to get all of the main players from the Spanish Gaming industry together again.”
Mustapha added, “We are looking forward to showing how combining our compact note recycler and advanced coin recycler, NV22 Spectral (NV22S) and Smart Coin System (SCS) gives Operators the best fit for cash handling efficiency for gaming machines in Spain. The compact NV22S fits into most existing gaming machines and can store and recycle up to 40 mixed denomination notes helping to reduce coin starvation to keep machines running. It is a unique product due to its multi note recycling capabilities, any note can be paid out, not just the last note in and Spectral Technology delivers outstanding protection against fraudulent and stained notes. The SCS coin validator, mixed coin hopper and recycler in one enables bulk and single coin inserts. With a large capacity of 1400 coins (€1 coins), customers have reported significant machine uptime improvements. Using both SCS and NV22S units combined gives the Operator considerable float management savings by reducing float levels by up to 30% and a reduction in refill times by at least 50%, saving time, resources and costs for your business.”
ITL have launched several biometric solutions over the past few years. ICU Intelligent Identification uses facial analysis technology for age verification & face recognition.
Continuing Mustapha said, “We will also demo both ICU Pro and ICU Lite. Using non-intrusive facial analysis technologies customers can control access and perform age verification at entrances to gaming venues or at individual machines or betting terminals. With world leading accuracy, offline usage and no recurring transaction fees, ICU is a cost-effective biometric solution available to all.”
Concluding Mustapha said, “We have very strong relationships with our Spanish customers so will proudly have our validators displayed on several of our customers’ stands at the show too. Our team will be on stand #A8 so come along and see how ourcompact, affordable peripherals can generate more profit and real operational efficiencies.”

Esports Charts and GG.BET have presented an interactive map with data on tournaments around the world

Esports Charts, an analytical service that analyzes esports viewership, has partnered up with betting brand GG.BET, to present Esports Map, an interactive map with data on the most popular esports tournaments in 110 different countries. Each tournament also comes with historical moments when favorites and outsiders unexpectedly switched places in the bracket.
The analytical service Esports Charts has added a new interactive tool to its website, the Esports Map. It features the most popular tournaments by country, as well as data on peak viewership, winners, and prize pools. It also contains information on the most popular games in each country. There are also separate analytics dedicated to the United States, with information available for each of the 50 states. Data has been collected for a period spanning from 2017 up to right now, and is continuously updated.
GG.BET, who partnered with the project, supplemented the tournament information with interesting facts about participating teams. The insights include historical breakthroughs by underdogs and unexpected losses by tournament favorites. The information is provided using past outright betting data.
Esports Map allows users to track the esports industry’s development in various parts of the world. For instance, although League of Legends remains the most popular game and the League of Legends World Championship has kept its spot as the top esports tournament for many years, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) is visibly closing the gap between the two games. Worlds 2024 in London had 6,856,769 peak viewers, breaking the world record among all esports games since 2017. However, MPL Indonesia’s Season 15 of MLBB has kept its place in the top spot for 2025, with 4,132,224 peak viewers. Today, MLBB remains the only mobile game capable of attracting such a massive audience, and its fan base is growing, especially in Southeast Asia. Analysts are looking forward to Worlds 2025 in China, which will allow them to update the available data and compare how different games are developing.
“Esports Map is a new project from Esports Charts, which we’ve launched alongside GG.BET as our first partner. We aimed to create a tool that would be interesting and useful to both fans and industry professionals. At its core lies Esports Charts’ analytics, supplemented by betting insights from GG.BET—covering everything from peak viewership and prize pools to discipline trends and stories of unexpected victories.. When combined, this data turns into a live snapshot of esports that can be tracked by country and region,” said Esports Charts’ press office.
“GG.BET regularly supports projects that help people understand esports at a greater depth. Esports Map provides an easy-to-understand visual representation of the industry’s progress in individual countries around the world and displays the breakdown of games by region. It will be of interest to fans and will prove useful to professionals who are developing the industry,” added GG.BET’s press office.
Esports Charts and GG.BET have previously worked together on an analytical project dedicated to the BLAST Premier 2024 season. That project displayed data on views, unique statistics about both the game and bets placed, an analytical breakdown of the season, and exclusive infographics on teams and players.
