The International Gaming Expo (IGE) wrapped up last week and online casino software providers revealed some new games for 2010. The IGE is the premier showcase for new gaming software and ran in conjunction with the Betting Show, the Amusement Trades Exhibition International (ATEI), the International Casino Exhibition (ICE) and the International Casino Conference (ICC).

WagerWorks, operating under International Game Technology (IGT), released the online slot Monty’s Millions. This one was special because it was the first game from the group that was released to land-based casinos as well as online casinos at the same time. More of the same is expected in the future, such as the release of a slot game called Kitty Litter and other branded slots this year. WagerWorks upgraded to an RGS platform, enabling operators on other platforms to download their games and offer them.

Microgaming, endorsed by big operators like Ladbrokes, 32Red, Jackpot City and Unibet, featured its Hellboy slot game. That slot was released in conjunction with Dark Horse, the live dealer blackjack and bingo side games. Microgaming’s mobile gaming partner, Spin3, announced a deal with gambling firm Rocketspin to spread its presences into the East European market.

Cryptologic showcased its recent slot achievements like Batman, Superman, Braveheart and Forrest Gump attained from its deal with Paramount Digital. 2009 releases included Jenga and Call of Duty Modern Warfare. Also presented was a new player protection facility for its blackjack games, which warns players if their moves are not optimal.

Playtech concentrated on its deal with Scientific Games, displaying innovative game content developed by Sciplay, and Sportech, which marked its entry into the sports betting world. Also featured was the release of a pack of nine new slot games, including five Marvel movie-based slots.
