Merkur Gaming agree
It’s time!
C
larion Gaming’s decision to extend its internationally
recognised ICE brand outside of the UK has been
deemed a landmark decision by Merkur Gaming’s Chief
Executive, International, Athanasios Isaakidis..
Commenting on the timing of the first ever ICE Africa,
Isaakidis explained: “There could not be a better time to
bring the ICE brand, and the weight it holds within the
international gaming industry, to the African continent.
For various reasons, both economic and political,
conditions across Africa have been challenging in certain
sectors and therefore it is hoped that a prestige event run
under the ICE brand will stimulate interest and hopefully
lead to further investment in gaming.
We believe it is an important step to establish a fully-
unified African gaming trade gathering: something that
Clarion will successfully establish with ICE Africa.”
