For professionals across the land-based gaming world, ICE 2026 in Barcelona (19–21 January) is already circled in the diary. With more payment innovation, more connectivity and more pressure on venue efficiency than ever before, planning your visit in advance can turn three days at the show into a year of improved performance.
JCM Global will be exhibiting on stand 3M50, presenting an expanded portfolio of validation, cash handling and systems technologies built around the widely adopted UBA Pro and UBA Ultra platforms. The event offers customers an unrivalled opportunity to compare configurations, discuss integrations and map out the next steps for 2026 and beyond.
Before you arrive, consider where transactions really touch your operation – gaming machines, tables, cashier desks, redemption or retail kiosks. JCM’s range is intentionally modular so that note validation, ticket printing and cash management operate as a blended workflow. Bringing a clear picture of your pain points – queues at tables, handling time at the bar, reconciliation overheads – will help the ICE team demonstrate the right configuration rather than just a single device.
The UBA Pro family now encompasses UBA Pro, UBA Pro-RT, UBA Pro-RQ, UBA Pro 2 BNF, alongside UBA Ultra, with both cash box and low-denomination (LD) variants. That breadth means there is rarely a one-size answer – but there is almost always a perfectly sized one.
ICE Barcelona will feature the public debut of the new UBA Pro BNF and table solutions – the first chance for many EMEA operators to see these products live. To make the most of that moment, think about:
Seeing the machines and table units working together on stand 3M50 allows a practical assessment of throughput, ergonomics and serviceability that brochures alone can’t convey.
The industry shift toward multi-channel and cashless operations is accelerating. JCM will be showcasing its systems platforms including cashless and TPV solutions, Ticket2Go and ICB 3.0, together with complementary products such as GEN5 and MRX. If you arrive with details of your existing CMS or cashless provider, the ICE team can explore how a blended mix of methods compares against relying on a single approach – and how validation data feeds into accounting and reporting.
Speed has always defined UBA Pro and UBA Ultra; ICE 2026 is about showing how that speed supports modern digital ecosystems.
January shows are busy and Barcelona remains ICE’s most international destination. JCM is encouraging customers to schedule demonstrations in advance so that technical specialists from validation, systems and peripherals are available at the same time. A five-minute conversation at ICE can save hours of handling time every week back home.
A Focus on Content and Performance
“Speed, flexibility and real-world performance are the reasons the UBA Pro and UBA Ultra platforms are so widely recognised,” said Payam Zadeh, General Manager EMEA at JCM Global. “ICE Barcelona provides the ideal stage to show how our technologies are helping operators and manufacturers meet evolving market demands while future-proofing their operations.”
Visitors to stand 3M50 will be able to see the new UBA Pro BNF and table solutions for the first time, alongside the VEGA Pro range (VEGA Pro, VEGA Pro-RC and VEGA Pro-RC Twin) and peripherals including MRX BNF with Cash Box, GEN5 ticket printer and Coupon Express. The broader portfolio – featuring Ticket2Go and ICB 3.0 – reinforces JCM’s commitment to modern, blended payment environments.
