On the other, we have strong players who are looking for more sophisticated games and in line with the latest trends in our industry. And finally, we have the table game players, especially roulette.

On one hand, powerful multi-games like Adventure and Orion blend enhanced versions of GameStar's most successful games with stunning updated graphics, combined with new developments resulting from the company's long experience in multigames. In addition, the company has recently launched games that amazed at the recent G2E fair, such as Jin Long or Goddess Link. All this is supported by attractive cabinets at the forefront of technology, such as their latest release, the hybrid Sublime cabinet.

Finally, Win Systems is one of the most reputable manufacturers of electronic roulette wheels worldwide.

Proof of this is the Gold Club Symphony, the latest and most spectacular launch in electronic roulette wheels, which is quickly becoming one of the sector's benchmarks.

Juan McEwan concludes: "I can't wait for ICE to arrive and start showing all these fantastic products to all the African operators attending the show. I am fully convinced that Win Systems can offer solutions tailored to the needs of every operator on the continent. I would love to be able to schedule meetings with all of them in our exclusive VIP Lounge". To arrange meetings with Juan McEwan, please send an email to j.mcewan@winsysgroup.com.

On his 100^th birthday Mr. Ainsworth would like to express his gratitude for the success he has enjoyed and the support he received from his family, friends, and many colleagues.

“I feel privileged to have reached this milestone and to have seen how the gaming industry has evolved and flourished over the years.  I have been fortunate in establishing a worldwide reputation for quality equipment that continues to lead the field and that pleases me to no end.  I have worked with many great people along the way, without them none of it would be possible.” said Mr Ainsworth.

Beyond his remarkable professional achievements, Mr Ainsworth's understands the profound responsibility that comes with success and made it a priority to give back.  A passionate philanthropist he established the Ainsworth Foundation which generously supports the Australian community most notably in medical research, education, healthcare, and various other social causes, leaving an enduring impact on countless lives.  “Personally, I’m most proud that my good fortune enables me to support so many worthwhile causes” he said.

Mr Ainsworth's legacy extends far beyond his business endeavours and philanthropy. He embodied the qualities of a true leader—inspiring those around him, fostering a culture of creativity and innovation and empowering individuals to reach their full potential. His mentoring and guidance have shaped the careers of numerous industry professionals who continue to carry his vision forward.

Danny Gladstone, Chairman, Ainsworth Game Technology said, “I started my career in the gaming industry 50 years ago working for Len.  It was a privilege to then have the opportunity to work with him again 16 years ago at Ainsworth and build on his legacy. He is a true icon globally and our industry would not be what it is without him.  I wish him all the very best on his 100^th birthday.”

This month, as we celebrate Mr Ainsworth's 100^th birthday, we honour a man whose impact extends far beyond his years, and his vision will continue to inspire and guide us in the years to come. Mr Ainsworth's commitment to excellence, and innovation serves as a blueprint for success in business and life.

“On behalf of the entire Ainsworth Game Technology family and the gaming industry, we extend our warmest wishes to Len on this momentous occasion," said Harald Neumann, CEO Ainsworth Game Technology. "His unwavering dedication, innovative spirit, and outstanding leadership have been instrumental in shaping our company and the industry as a whole. We are grateful for his profound contributions and are inspired to continue his legacy of excellence."
