Inspired confirmed its strong commitment to “investment in innovation” ahead of its EAG showing at EAG this week with Ian Shreeve outlining some of the highlights gracing the London stage.
Coinslot: Inspired has a strong and established presence in the UK. Can you share an update on how the gaming business is performing and how your long-term strategy reflects Inspired’s commitment to the UK market?
Ian Shreeve: The UK remains a core market for Inspired, and our Gaming business continues to perform well across pubs, AGCs, MSAs and bingo halls. Our long-term strategy is focused on delivering high-quality, compliant hardware and content that meets the evolving needs of UK operators and players.
We remain fully committed to the UK as a manufacturer of world-class gaming machines and content, backed by outstanding service and local support. Through continued investment in innovation, cabinet design, and game development, we are ensuring our partners have access to differentiated products that drive sustainable performance across all sectors.
Coinslot: On the subject of investment, the new Vantage Slant cabinet has already been turning heads. How important is the new innovation to Inspired offering?
Ian Shreeve: The launch of the Vantage Slant™ is a significant milestone for Inspired’s UK Gaming portfolio.
Designed specifically for AGCs and bingo halls, and available in both B3 and Category C configurations, the Vantage Slant retains all the proven features of the original Vantage cabinet while offering a more flexible, space-efficient footprint.
It supports Inspired’s extensive game library and is enhanced with our next-generation menu, giving operators greater flexibility and players a modern, engaging experience. The Vantage Slant reflects our focus on thoughtful cabinet innovation that balances operational efficiency with player appeal.
Coinslot: You’ve mentioned the players in terms of the Vantage Slant and what it will bring to the AGC and bingo community. But we assume you have a great deal more in the pipeline. Can you tell us what customers can look forward to and how Inspired products will continue to enhance their player experience over the next 12 months?
Ian Shreevee: Looking ahead to 2026, customers can expect a strong pipeline of new games and platform enhancements designed to deepen player engagement and maximise time on device.
A key highlight is our Fortune Community product, which will be showcased on the Vantage Slant Category C cabinet. This proven multiplayer platform can trigger a shared community bonus that rewards all eligible players simultaneously.
By linking multiple Vantage™ cabinets across a venue, Fortune Community delivers a dynamic, social gaming experience that brings our community-style games to life and enhances the overall player journey.
Coinslot: EAG generates a great deal of excitement in the industry. What are you most looking forward to sharing with visitors?
Ian Shreevee: EAG provides a fantastic opportunity to showcase the depth of Inspired’s UK Gaming portfolio. We’re particularly excited to introduce the Vantage Slant™ cabinet, demonstrate Fortune Community in action, and highlight our Vantage™ B3 and Category C pub cabinets. Visitors will see first-hand how our hardware, content, and platform innovation come together to deliver standout player experiences.
This show allows us to reinforce our long-term commitment to the UK market and engage directly with partners about how Inspired continues to support their success.
