Those present, members of the most important companies and associations in the Spanish world of amusements, dealt with diverse questions relating to the gaming sector. This is the first time that the Europer Association has organised a meeting of this type, in which it discussed topics such as the current state of the amusement sector, the appearance of new methods of gaming (online, scratch and win) and their impact on the industry, how the sector will develop in future, and the situation regarding the effect of the present regulations on the different methods of gaming.

That same evening, in the incomparable setting of the top floor of the Princess Sofía Hotel in Barcelona, the traditional Europer dinner took place, whose annual date falls just prior to the start of the summer holidays. Attending as guest of honour was Xavier Guitart, director of gaming and amusements in the Catalonian regional government. During his speech, Albert Solà, President of Europer, focused on the new methods of gaming, indicating the relative importance of accelerating the legislative process, insisting on the evolution of the machines and the creation of new product designs, because new legislation may upset the balance that has existed in the sector until now and it is more important, at the moment, to be focused on the product than on legal matters.
