For the EUROMAT Summit closing on 6^th June, a fresh new format and wider reach proved a successful formula with Organisers receiving positive feedback from both delegates and sponsors. The event attracted many first-time attendees, particularly those representing European manufacturers and operators, injecting vital sharp-end experience into the proceedings.  Technology featured heavily, with the sessions on TITO and new payment options proving particularly informative and stimulating lively debate.  The inclusion of sessions on the FEC market and Redemption represented new territory for the Summit and these were well received and, for some attendees, a real eye-opener. 

Issues and sharing in the industry

The Summit offered a full-day focus on Social Responsibility, with frank and sometimes passionate input from those responsible for managing this complex area on a- to-day basis, as well as from counsellors and those providing front line support to problem gamblers.  The Gauselmann Group, were pleased to be able to sponsor part of the Summit and were delighted that representatives of the group were also invited to speak at the event.  A spokesman for the group said: “We see huge benefits in Coin Industry operating companies throughout Europe coming together under the auspices of EUROMAT.  Although there is no harmonisation of Gambling Regulation in Europe nevertheless there are many common and shared issues in the wider industry and EUROMAT is able to advise on strategy and also share best practice for both its Association and corporate members.”
