The show is held annually (they've moved it out to ExCel from Earls Court this year) and is the London showcase for the industry. I didn't go this year, but yes there were some pretty dealers and pamphlet distributors when I went a few years ago. It's also a great place to try out new games, new fruit machines, and see some of what's coming along. Interestingly many of the table games/side bets seem to have bitten the dust from the one I went to. Also many of the fruit machines, with large progressive jackpots, would never make it to the UK.

Any speculation why that is so? I would assume the love of big prizes amongst the folks who play slots is universal.

as far as I am aware, UK Gaming regulations currently limit slot machines to a maximum stake of £2 per spin, and a maximum jackpot of £4000.
