Quixant unveils new software, hardware and display innovations for global land-based gaming at ICE Barcelona 2026
Quixant returns to ICE 2026 at booth 3S20, showcasing our latest gaming innovations, including the powerful new IQON 3® platform, the robust IQ 2, and the customizable QMAX range
We will unveil Launchpad, our next-generation turnkey software platform, at ICE Barcelona 2026, which redefines how land-based gaming solutions are built, deployed, and operated across global regulated gaming markets, enabling developers to focus on innovation and deliver the ultimate player experience. In addition, we are expanding our IQON® high-performance, all-in-one hardware lineup with the launch of the IQON Air 3® — a fanned, higher-performance model designed to complement the IQON 3® introduced at G2E 2025.
As ICE continues its new chapter in Barcelona, we are focused on helping game developers simplify complexity, reduce time to market, and deliver high-quality gaming experiences in regulated environments worldwide, from established jurisdictions to fast-growing and evolving markets such as Latin America and route and amusements. The solutions on display at ICE 2026 reflect our continued investment in performance, reliability, regulatory readiness, and solution longevity, which is underpinned by specialist, regulated-gaming support built directly into the stack, encompassing software, hardware, integration, and compliance expertise delivered by dedicated global teams.
Launchpad simplifies development and deployment for land-based gaming
As a first-time debut at ICE 2026, we will unveil Launchpad, our next-generation turnkey software platform for regulated land-based gaming. Designed to help customers launch in months rather than years, Launchpad reduces the complexity, cost, and risk of building and certifying a platform in-house by delivering a pre-integrated, field-proven software and hardware environment. Powered by our trusted Software Suite and optimized for our hardware, this platform delivers a seamless experience for game management, payments, security, and monitoring. Designed for global reach, it supports a wide range of game titles, denominations, currencies, and languages—giving gaming innovators the flexibility to engage players across markets worldwide. Flexible integration APIs, combined with dedicated support from our global expert teams and the Quixant Hub – our dedicated support portal – help you to achieve the compliance required for the markets you operate in. This enables you to focus on game innovation and player experience, while accelerating time to market and maximizing return on investment across casino, route, and other gaming environments.
Introducing the IQON Air 3® and the expanded IQON® range
At ICE 2026, we will also present the expanded IQON® range, including the European launch of the IQON 3 and the global debut of the IQON Air 3. The IQON 3 sets a new benchmark for graphics performance, power, and reliability in land-based gaming, enabling developers to deliver richer content.
Making its first appearance globally, the IQON Air 3® introduces a fanned design that delivers increased processing power, improved thermal performance, and greater deployment flexibility. Designed for demanding gaming environments, it delivers enhanced performance while maintaining the compact unified design that defines the IQON® family, making it an ideal fit for both casino floors and distributed route gaming environments.
Together, the IQON 3® and IQON Air 3® give customers greater choice when balancing performance, cooling requirements, and installation constraints, without compromising reliability or product lifecycle.
A complete portfolio designed for regulated gaming markets
Extending our hardware and software innovations, we will also showcase our gaming display capabilities at the show, developed in partnership with our sister brand Densitron. Combining 20+ years of gaming expertise with 50+ years of specialist display engineering, we provides custom-designed TFT, IPS, and AMOLED displays optimised for durability, clarity, and long-term availability in regulated land-based environments, supporting applications from compact route deployments to large-scale casino installations.
In addition to these latest launches, we will showcase our full range of specialist gaming platforms, from cost effective IQ® solutions for route and distributed gaming, to high performance IQON® solutions for premium casino environments, and fully customised systems with the QMAX® offering. These platforms are enhanced by our embedded Software Suite, which simplifies compliance, security, monitoring, and deployment across global regulated gaming markets.
With our combined hardware, software, and integration expertise, Quixant continues to support customers as they adapt to evolving regulations, technologies, and player expectations across all major gaming regions worldwide. The solutions on display at ICE 2026 are designed to help gaming businesses operate more efficiently while delivering engaging and reliable player experiences.
Vicki Noonan, EVP Group Product & Innovation at Quixant, commented:
“Launchpad represents a major milestone for both Quixant and for the wider land-based gaming industry. Combining our deep in-house software expertise with decades of experience supporting regulated gaming customers, Launchpad simplifies development, accelerating time to market, and reducing the complexity game developers face today. Alongside Launchpad, we are strengthening our IQON hardware portfolio with the introduction of the IQON Air 3., a powerful, fanned option that complements the IQON 3 and offers greater flexibility for demanding gaming environments.”
