From politics to regulation, from technological innovation to international perspectives: the November-December issue of IGN Magazine takes stock of the gaming industry and looks ahead to 2027. Featured are interviews with Filippo Melchiorre and Bruno Ricci Bitti, the SiGMA World Rome special, the future of amusement machines, and the Casa Italia project at ICE Barcelona.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

What truly remains of a year marked by changes, promises of reform, investments, and new uncertainties? And above all, which transformations are destined to have a concrete impact on the future of the gaming industry?<\/p>\n

It is from these questions that the new issue of IGN Magazine \u2013 Italian Gaming News<\/strong> takes shape. The bimonthly publication edited by GN Media dedicates its November-December 2026 edition to a theme as essential as it is challenging: “What remains. 2026 put to the test.”<\/p>\n

An invitation to distinguish announcements from results, perspectives from achievements, and opportunities from unresolved criticalities. Because, while the international market continues to evolve, the Italian sector faces the incomplete reorganization of land-based gaming, the postponement of concession tenders, and the need to combine consumer protection, legality, and economic sustainability.<\/p>\n

It is precisely the relationship between politics and industry that opens the issue, with an interview with Senator Filippo Melchiorre<\/strong>, who takes an initial stock of the Meloni Government’s actions on public gaming and addresses the sector’s priorities following the expiration of the enabling act for the reorganization. At the heart of the discussion is the need to ensure regulatory certainty, combat illegality, and strengthen social protection.<\/p>\n

An analysis that finds further food for thought in the interview with Ludovico Calvi, Honorary President of ULIS<\/strong>, dedicated to the balance between consumer protection and business competitiveness, and in the in-depth studies on the economic, employment, and territorial consequences of the failed reform.<\/p>\n

SiGMA World Rome and the international comparison<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ample space is reserved for SiGMA World Rome 2026, the international event returning to the Capital from November 2 to 5, to which a special feature is dedicated.<\/p>\n

Among the protagonists is Heathcliff Farrugia, Chief International Relations Officer of SiGMA<\/strong>, who illustrates the vision of the event and the meaning of its guiding theme, Advancing Regulated Gaming<\/em>. An opportunity to explore the role of regulation in market development, the integration between gaming and new technologies, and the growth prospects of the international industry.<\/p>\n

The special also covers the strategies, products, and business models of the companies leading the event, with particular attention to the integration between physical and digital channels, the evolution of the offering, and innovation.<\/p>\n

The cover story: Netwin Italia between tradition and innovation<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The issue’s cover story is dedicated to Netwin Italia, through an interview with CEO Bruno Ricci Bitti.<\/p>\n

Building on an entrepreneurial tradition rooted in nearly seventy years of activity by the RB holding company, the firm describes its path of consolidation and development in the Italian market, spanning retail experience, online growth, and new industrial initiatives.<\/p>\n

Among these is the Wip Gaming project, a new game provider representing one of the company’s main development drivers.<\/p>\n

A discussion that also offers a broader reflection on the ability of companies to leverage their heritage of experience without giving up on innovation.<\/p>\n

New slots, horse racing, and market transformation<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The issue dedicates a specific in-depth analysis to the new technical rules for amusement machines, comparing innovation, investment sustainability, and the reality of industrial prospects.<\/p>\n

Space is also given to horse racing, with an analysis of the opportunities for the sector’s relaunch and the reforms still needed. In particular, MST discusses the signs of recovery in the segment and the essential conditions to consolidate them, while EQUtv<\/strong> looks toward a season of relaunching communication and enhancing the value of the horse racing world.<\/p>\n

The issue also includes columns dedicated to fiscal and regulatory aspects, product innovation, and industry creativity, including Top of the Slot<\/strong>, which presents Cirque du Habanero<\/em>, and Il bello del gioco<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From Italy to the world: Casa Italia and the prospects for 2027<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Completing the editorial journey is a reflection on the international positioning of the Italian industry.<\/p>\n

In the editorial “What remains, what matters,” Director Alessio Crisantemi retraces some of the main tensions that characterized 2026, from regulatory and fiscal choices in foreign markets to the issues still open in Italy, pointing to the ability to build stronger international representation as one of the decisive challenges for the future.<\/p>\n

In this perspective, Casa Italia at ICE Barcelona 2027 fits in\u2014a project born from the evolution of IGE and the partnership between GN Media and WorldGaming (Clarion)<\/strong>, with the aim of offering Italian institutions, associations, and businesses a common space for discussion, visibility, and relations with the global market.<\/p>\n

A path that intertwines with the prospects of IGE \u2013 Italian Gaming Expo & Conference 2027<\/strong> and the Italian Gaming Awards, at the center of further in-depth studies dedicated to the growth and internationalization of the Italian ecosystem.<\/p>\n

With content in Italian and English, analyses, interviews, and expert contributions, IGN Magazine thus closes 2026 with a perspective that goes beyond the traditional year-end review: not just what happened, but what today’s decisions will leave as a legacy for the industry of tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The new issue of IGN Magazine, November\u2013December 2026, is available in both digital and print editions, also distributed at the sector’s major international events.<\/p>\n
