Ice 2025 – Live Dealer Game Releases For 2025

It’s that time of year when one of the biggest igaming events, the International Casino Exhibition (ICE), is held.

This year, 2025, the location moved from the Excel Center in London to the sunnier climes of Barcelona, Spain. Well, when I say sunny, it’s about 8 degrees warmer than the UK, so still coat weather!

I am interested in Live Dealer casino games and the suppliers that produce them, and in this article, I review the major players, and their planned live dealer game releases for 2025.

Introduction To ICE 2025 – Live Casino Supplier Review

The organizers had grouped most of the live casino developers in the same exhibition hall, quite conveniently, except the latecomers, who were consigned to hall 5 with the payment processors, so it was quite a walk to see them.

This conference is huge and spread across five halls that seemed bigger and roomier than the London venue.

The live casino providers are all at different stages of development. Some have robust game catalogues, and others are playing catch-up, so innovation is mainly restricted to companies that can take risks and have the budgets to back them up.

My summary reflects the differences and contains my thoughts on what I saw and heard. More in-depth information on each provider is provided below. So read on for a few interesting tip bits.

Summary

<Rant Mode On> As innovation goes, I was disappointed not to see anything I would consider game or industry-changing.

I don’t know whether that’s because people have run out of ideas or the shift to using more or all RNG is a thing Players are crying out for, and that is where the investment is going. Player numbers in the lobbies tell their story, so perhaps I’m missing something! <Rant Mode Off>.

So RNG is in. And so is Marbles – both pre-recorded races and live. Take your pick. Select your colour – sorry, colour-blind people, you’ll have to play something else. Place your bet and hope your marble wins! They make a good spectacle, and the live version may prove popular, especially to Sports bettors, who the industry is trying their best to convert to Live Casino – Leave them alone. They like sports, not casino games!

More gameshows are coming, and yep, they follow the big wheel mechanic and have bonus rounds. I tried my best to persuade one supplier not to have so many bonus rounds, as I feel it devalues bonus rounds by having them so often. He understood, but was he brave enough to do something different? Only time will tell!

There seem to be more companies producing Live Games. I didn’t get around to all of them, but one had some interesting USPs that set it apart. Their challenge is to get noticed in a crowded field where the big three tend to dominate.

Chromakey is also making a comeback. It’s being used to provide flexibility and localized branding. I’ve always thought its use was clever, so I am delighted to see its resurgence.

Some suppliers, unfortunately, put too much faith in the venue’s Internet Connection and Wi-Fi, so I wasted a lot of time looking at page loadings and feeling the embarrassment and frustration of my hosts.

Your top tip is to ensure you have pre-recorded videos of the top features of each game so at least visitors can see them. We don’t need to play the game, a good look and an explanation is enough?

I experienced a great desire to push live dealer games forward and provide functionality players haven’t seen. Games presentation is getting better, but sometimes at the expense of the playing experience.

I judge a game by whether I would play it without placing a bet. That is, whether the game produces enough excitement to deliver a good experience without needing gambling to increase dopamine levels. Unfortunately, many newer games seem to fall into this latter category.

Now, let’s move on to what everyone plans for 2025. If you’re not listed, I’m sorry I didn’t get to you, or there was no one to talk to when I visited your stand, assuming you had one.

Video of Some of the New Games!

Evolution Live Game Releases For 2025

evolution

Evolution had an impressive stand again, but I liked the interactive screens where you could scroll through and view the games yourself, activating the bonus rounds to see everything in one easy hit.

Several new titles are coming, with both RNG and Live.

  • Ice Fishing – RNG Wheel with instant wins and Bonus Rounds. The Live element is the presenter reeling in the animated fish.
  • Marble Race – Live game of Marbles racing.
  • Red Baron – RNG Crash game with three betting options.
  • Fireball Roulette – Roulette with the Fireball Bonus Round from Lightning Storm.
  • Race Track – RNG horse race.
  • Lightning Bac Bo – Back Bo with multipliers.
  • Super Colour Game – dice with coloured faces rather than numbers. It’s sic bo with colours.
  • Always 6 Blackjack – Live game where the Dealer’s first card is always a 6. Follows Always 8 Baccarat.
  • War – Card game like football studio with a side bet where the Player and Dealer go to War when a Pair triggers it.

Ezugi Live Game Releases For 2025

Ezugi shares the stand with Evolution and the technology, so it was easy to see what they have coming up.

  • Triple Zero Roulette for the US market.
  • Marbles, with pre-recorded races that you bet on.
  • Matka and Xoc Dia.
  • Arcade games – Coin Push and the Claw will debut at the end of February.
  • EZ Bingo – real bingo played against other players, not the game show-style bingo we’ve become accustomed to.

Oh, and the white light I complained about in the recently launched Revolution Roulette has been removed! The power of a review J.

Light & Wonder Live (was Authentic) 2025

light & wonder Live

Light & Wonder Live didn’t have a visible display of their newly branded Authentic Gaming games.

I understand they focus more on the US, as they have a new studio in Michigan and tie-ups with a few casino brands in regulated states.

Their existing studios, games and land-based tables will continue to be available.

Pragmatic Play Live Game Releases 2025

pragmatic play

Most of the space on the stand was given to their new gameshow, Money Time.

Yep, it’s another gameshow with bonus rounds. An Immersive style roulette game aimed at VIPs is on its way too.

I ate way too many sweets from the Sweet Bonanza Candy Shop.

The other significant news is I’m hoping to visit the studio in Romania later this year, so keep a look out for my review.

7Mojos Live Game Releases 2025

7 Mojos has been updating its UI and redesigning several games, including Blackjack.

New games include Lucky 7, Teen Patti One Day, Teen Patti Face Off, Unlimited BJ and 32 Cards.

There’s a possible game show, but I think this is more likely for 2026.

On Air Entertainment Live Game Releases 2025

This is another brand that didn’t go all out to display their Live Casino Games. In fact, you couldn’t see them at all. However, I managed to have a good chat with the Live Casino lead, who revealed the following.

2025 will be a year of more developments, given that not much happened during 2024.

This week, we will see the launch of branded Fashion TV tables for Baccarat and Roulette.

The Mega Moolah jackpot will be incorporated into a Blackjack game- Cheque Book Blackjack.

The 9 Pots of Gold live slot will be reskinned into another popular slot later in the year.

Music Roulette will add a musical twist to the game, while a new overhead camera view on Blackjack will differ from what players are used to.

A new studio is being built in Pennsylvania for further expansion into the US market.

Winfinity Live Game Releases 2025

winfinity

The story from Winfinity concentrated on the existing product line with a whisper about an industry-changing game for later this year or possibly 2026.

I wasn’t given any details – so I genuinely hope the secrecy is worth it!

I had a nice chat with Ray Freilibs, the New Business Manager. You may know him as the original host of Evolutions Dreamcatcher.

We recorded a podcast you’ll see on Linkedin over the coming weeks.

Stakelogic Live Game Releases 2025

stakelogic live

There is not much to report from Stakelogic; in fact, I got to speak to one of their Slot guys as Live staff weren’t around. He was knowledgeable, though, so that’s a good thing!

There’s a new game, Vegas Drops Roulette. It has up to 10 multipliers, 5 of which can be accessed through the Super Stake feature. The Bonus round is a drop round (similar to Playtech’s Mega Fire Blaze).

The game can pay up to 10,000x.

Maybe we’ll see some of their games appear on Social Casinos, although that’s not confirmed.

Vivo Gaming Live Game Releases 2025

vivo gaming

I’ve been tracking the progress of Vivo Gaming for years and have seen how their product has evolved and expanded.

This year, the Chroma key has been used extensively. There’s also a new Sic Bo and Jackpot Roulette with multipliers (think of Lightning Roulette Clone).

Limitless Blackjack has been added and, again, cloned from Unlimited BJ.

Clone games are not a problem because operators expect all suppliers to have a standard set of base games. These last two are now standard everywhere.

Holi.Bet is a new player on the Block.

Holi.Bet is a new supplier I stumbled across.

They are a relatively new Live Casino provider with Studios in Latvia, Poland, and Lithunania.

Jackpot Baccarat is their main game, with monthly jackpots and tournaments.

More games to follow.

Creedroomz Live Games Releases 2025

creedroomz

Creedroomx is a prominent live casino developer but is not well known in the UK, even though they have a UKGC License.

They have a comprehensive game catalogue, including game shows. My favourite has long been Blackjack Switch, and as far as I know, they are the only ones offering this blackjack variant.

In terms of new games, we can look forward o:

  • Richie Rich is a game show with three multipliers on the wheel. Similar to Pragmatics Mega Wheel in concept.
  • Multiplier Roulette – similar to Lightning Roulette but with a different math, giving bigger multipliers more often.
  • Richie Fruit Roulette with a match fruits mini game delivering multipliers.
  • Mr First Live is a bingo-style game with bonus rounds and multipliers.
  • Road To Eldorado is an Aztec-themed wheel game show with four bonus rounds.

Playtech Live Games Releases 2025

playtech live

Kevin at Playtech started off by telling me that he didn’t have much for me, and then we talked for an hour about all the new things going on at Playtech Live. Good job he didn’t tell me they had loads, I would have been there all day! In no particular order:

  • Sakura Fortune Live Slot is live and proving popular. This allows casinos to give free spins in the live casino.
  • Strong focus on building the new studio in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It will contain the best of eight or so performing Playtech live dealer games.
  • A new gameshow is on the way. It’s been in the planning for a year or so, so watch out for Family Feud.
  • Trivia games are becoming more popular and prominent, with celebrities making appearances.
  • Quantum Baccarat will complete the Quantum range of Multiplier games.
  • VZN Blackjack a cross between first person BJ and Blackjack X has just gone live.
  • Another Big Bad Wolf game from Quckspin, in which he blows down houses, will be released.
  • There will be a new scalable Blackjack with a Supercard Side bet.

Playtech has also been developing a range of bespoke live gameshows for several operators. I won’t be naming them here for business reasons.

Iconic21 Live Games Releases 2025

iconic21

Iconic-21, formerly Beter Live, was tucked away in hall 5—a case of booking late and being squeezed in where there was space.

I had a nice chat with the team of game developers, UI specialists and a couple of the presenters.

We can expect Iconic21’s first true gameshow. It will have a space theme, a big wheel and four bonus rounds. Marbles make another appearance, as does Plinko and a crash-style round. I don’t know the fourth; they were keeping that under wraps – or they haven’t entirely decided! Anyway, something to look forward to.

Imagine Live Games Releases 2025

imagine live

Imagine Live – Formerly Digitain Live, which I visited about 18 months ago, has gone from strength. They have expanded the number of tables and have a few new games—the robot arms are in operation on Blackjack and Baccarat.

Roulette Rouge was showcased the most, with Robin the Fair, a card game, coming in second.

Andar Bahar, Teen Patti and Casino Hold’em are also new additions.

The stand also featured an immersive feature showcasing the new games, which made me feel a bit motion-sick. However, it was cool and a hit with passersby.

Imagine Live has a UKGC License but currently has no operators signed up.

I find that they generally have limited exposure, with a few brands carrying their games, which is a shame as I think they have great potential.

BetGames Live Games Releases 2025

betgames

I’ve had an on/off liking for Betgames games.

When they started introducing the Live Sports games, Twain Sport –where you bet on staged games, basketball hoops and football (soccer) penalties scored, I thought they had lost the plot.

I’m happy to explain why elsewhere. But thankfully, following a change in management, the games have been scrapped, and they’ve gone back to live games.

Recent game additions include Flash Roulette, Crypt of Giza, a gameshow and Starzle a bingo style game.

RoundUp

Of course, there were many providers I didn’t spend time with, including Eeze, Fazi, AllBet, Pateplay and SA Gaming, to name two, which had stands.

Other suppliers were there but had no stands, so I didn’t manage to bump into them.

It was a good conference for meeting people, but no major live dealer launches blew my socks off.

It seems like business as usual, and the companies are tweaking their offerings or completing their catalogue of games to the point where they can offer operators a complete solution.

I suspect there is innovation bubbling under. I hope we’ll see something in the latter part of this year or maybe announced at this show in 2026.

Until then, I’m back at the tables playing and reviewing the games as they come out.

About Neil’s Casino Comparer Reviews

I have tried to be objective and consistent with all my live casino reviews. Hopefully, they will strike a chord with you, but I thought it might be helpful to explain the criteria I use to mark each of the casinos. Hopefully, the categories and explanations make sense.

Playability – What is the overall impression of the casino? Did I have a good time? are the dealers nice and chatty and is everything easy to understand? Does it have a good set of games and is there a comprehensive set of betting options? Are high stakes players taken care of?

Software – What is the software like to use and does it integrate well with the rest of the casino?. Are the images clear and is the video streaming fast? Have they taken more than the default shared tables? Is it available on mobile?

Payment Options – Does the casino have a good variety of payment options? Do they payout quickly and on time?

Security – How good is the reputation of the casino amongst other players? Do they hold a valid gaming license? Are they transparent about the security measures they have in place? Are they regularly audited? Do they publish this information?

Support – Do they have multiple methods for communication with me? Is support available 24×7? Do they have instant chat and are they quick to respond? Are they able to help me immediately? Do they have an online FAQ and self-help library? Are the support people knowledgeable about the product I’m playing?

Bonuses – Do they have bonuses?. How strict are the wagering requirements? Do they offer repeat bonuses?. Do they offer loyalty points and can they be redeemed for cash or playing credits?

After all that, would I play there regularly?
