Fresh from a “superb” response during on site testing, Peppa Pig Bus and Diggy with Claw proved the stars of the stand for SB Machines at IAAPA last month, with principal Paolo Sidoli telling Coinslot “the feedback we received was very positive.”

SB Machines has praised both the quality and quantity of products on show at IAAPA 2026, hailing the Barcelona exposition as “the most important and largest amusement show in Europe.”

Speaking to Coinslot, principal Paolo Sidoli explained how the Porthcawl-based supplier met the high international standard with its own contribution, the debut of new kiddie rides Peppa Pig Bus and Diggy with Claw.

“IAAPA Europe is the most important and largest amusement show in Europe,” said Sidoli. “It is a wonderful spectacle; not to be missed.”

“It was well attended; unsurprisingly so, because the variety, quantity and quality of coin-op offering was exceptional. No doubt the cream of the crop will be shown again at EAG26.”

Peppa Pig Bus is the latest in SB Machines’ wildly successful range based on the family-favourite cartoon character, while the Diggy with Claw combines the thrill of a kiddie ride with the classic prize every time crane mechanic. 

“Both these rides, which are set to £2/€2 per play have delivered superb results over spring and summer site testing this year and will be our key launches for ACOS 25, EAG26 and ARE26.”

Commenting on the response at IAAPA, Sidoli said “the feedback we received was very positive, because we were able to evidence how well these rides have been performing from our barometer sites across the UK. We can also see renewed appetite for rides and other coin operated equipment that falls outside the scope of The Gambling Act.”

“IAAPA Barcelona is a great show for business because so many people attend it. Pleasingly, we saw a good turnout from our Irish and UK customer base and we have supplied equipment to new and existing clients alike.”
