With SBC Summit Latinoamérica rounding off the main 2022 events programme for SBC, the events and media company has announced details of its 2023 betting and iGaming industry conferences and exhibitions schedule.

SBC hosted a series of successful events in 2022 that further strengthened its reputation as an industry event organiser. The company’s flagship global event, SBC Summit Barcelona, was the highlight of the year, as it broke SBC’s attendance records by gathering 6,000 senior industry executives at Fira Barcelona Montjuïc in September.

SBC will build on this success and stage five enhanced events throughout 2023 in some of the industry’s biggest hubs — Malta, New Jersey, Toronto, Barcelona and Miami. The 2023 events schedule will present businesses with a plethora of opportunities to reach local and global audiences and key decision-makers.

  • SBC Summit Barcelona: Fira Barcelona Montjuïc, Barcelona (19-21 September 2023)
  • SBC Summit Latinoamérica: Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Miami, Florida (31 October – 2 November)

A series of industry award shows celebrating the most innovative and successful operators, suppliers, and affiliates in sports betting and iGaming will run alongside the main events. They include:

  • SBC Awards North America – New York City (11 May 2023)
  • SBC Awards  – Palau National, Barcelona (21 September 2023)
  • SBC Awards Latinoamérica – Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Miami, Florida (2 November)

Rasmus Sojmark, SBC’s CEO & Founder, said: “2022 was undeniably a fantastic year for SBC. We broke attendance records, grew our workforce to 100 team members and created unforgettable memories for our exhibitors, sponsors, speakers and attendees.

It feels great to announce the five events for everyone to add to their 2023 calendars. Our ambitions for next year are higher than ever — as usual, we will strive for excellence and do our absolute best to surpass the industry’s expectations by delivering world-class business, knowledge and networking opportunities.”

The programme will open in March with the fifth edition of the CasinoBeats Summit, an event dedicated entirely to the casino industry.

The premier iGaming conference and exhibition will connect operators, game studios, affiliates and other stakeholders in the heart of iGaming, attract an audience of senior industry professionals and display a strong focus on the product side of things by showcasing the next generation of games, technology and platforms on the exhibition floor.

The second 2023 SBC event is SBC Summit North America, a must-attend conference and exhibition for industry stakeholders active in the region. The event will present unrivalled networking and business opportunities and address the emerging trends and growing pains that inevitably come to the surface as the industry evolves.

It is worth noting that SBC will be adding an extra floor to host additional conference rooms, meeting rooms and networking lounges and allow more companies to showcase their sports betting and iGaming technologies, products and services to the event visitors.

The 26th edition of the Canadian Gaming Summit (CGS), Canada’s premier annual conference and exhibition for land-based and iGaming senior executives from across Canada and beyond, will be, for the first time, proudly produced by SBC in collaboration with the Canadian Gaming Association (CGA).

The event, powered by SBC’s formidable reputation among industry professionals and CGA’s long-standing legacy, will continue to support the industry’s growth and deliver the most niche and powerful insights on the Canadian gambling market.

The third edition of the global betting and iGaming show, SBC Summit Barcelona, will return to the Catalan capital in September. Already established as one of the most important business opportunities on the industry calendar, the 2023 edition of the event is set to be bigger and better than ever — the exhibition area will double in size covering a massive 38,000 m2 while the event will last three days and host 10,000 delegates.

After the global event in Barcelona, the attention will turn to the third edition of SBC Summit Latinoamérica. The show will again gather the leadership teams and senior decision-makers in the region’s most prominent or promising markets, including Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Uruguay.

A record progressive jackpot of more than $2 million continues to climb on a $1 million Dragon Link slot machine by Aristocrat Gaming. The huge jackpot is up for grabs at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood.

The $1 denomination Dragon Link slot is a single-site progressive (SSP) and is located in the high-limit slots area of the Hollywood casino, famous through the world for its iconic Guitar Hotel. The slot machine’s progressive jackpot increases independently from other Dragon Link slots at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood and elsewhere.

The jackpot is climbing by an average of $7,000 per day and is on track to become one of the largest slot machine payouts in Seminole Gaming history and the largest Dragon Link jackpot ever awarded. Players at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood have a chance to be a part of jackpot history.

“It’s exciting to witness the Dragon Link jackpot grow to an unprecedented amount. The game has been a favorite since its release, and with this amazing prize now up for grabs, our players have the potential for a huge win,” said David Hoenemeyer, Chief Operating Officer of Seminole Gaming.

The Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood team have been incredible partners and huge supporters of our $1 million Dragon Link offering. We can’t wait to be a part of the celebration of this record-breaking jackpot,” said Kurt Gissane, Chief Revenue Officer for Aristocrat Gaming.

Since its debut at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood in June 2021, Dragon Link has consistently drawn in players with its exciting high-denomination offering, which includes a $25 minimum bet and a $2,500 max bet. The casino-resort was the first in the world to feature the $1 million Dragon Link progressive, and today, it remains one of the most popular high-limit slot games available.

The impact of Dragon Link on the gaming landscape has been immense, cementing its status as a player favorite. While Aristocrat Gaming continues to push boundaries with innovative offerings, the latest jackpot at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood represents a new milestone in gaming entertainment.
