NOVOMATIC starts 40th Anniversary Countdown at ICE Totally Gaming

As NOVOMATIC embarks on its 40^th anniversary year, the stand at ICE Totally Gaming will be a full display of modern gaming solutions, content and hardware for the various segments and markets of the international gaming industry.

For NOVOMATIC, 2020 is the year to celebrate 40 years of success, to say thank you to all who have been part of the journey so far and to also look to the future. The exhibition stand at ICE Totally Gaming in London will reflect the jubilee and invite show visitors to discover gaming technology innovation from the past, present and future. The attentive explorer will encounter a special vintage corner where NOVOMATIC looks back on classic product highlights and company milestones from the past 40 years. NOVOMATIC CEO Harald Neumann: “ICE 2020 will be a very special trade show for NOVOMATIC, especially since we will be celebrating our 40th anniversary this year. Accordingly, we will not only present our exceptional product portfolio but also review these 40 successful years with our customers and partners.”

Visitors to the NOVOMATIC stand are welcomed with the traditional Austrian hospitality as they embark on their tour across the exhibition stand to investigate what is new and exciting for their specific requirements. The Winning Technology portfolio on display for 2020 and beyond will serve every operator’s demands – from landbased casino and AWP products & systems, as well as biometric technologies for modern access solutions, to online gaming, sports betting and cash handling solutions.

Jens Einhaus, VP of International Sales, Europe & the Americas says: “I believe that with the very well balanced portfolio of new developments and “retro” games, we will see substantial growth in all areas of our landbased business and I can’t wait to present all the new products to our customers at ICE. Visitors should certainly make sure to use the opportunity to enjoy our special 40^th anniversary offers at ICE.”

Based on their growing popularity, Links mark heavily in the casino segment of the NOVOMATIC stand, with dedicated single games, suites of games as well as multi-game compendiums featuring a great variety of linked progressive jackpot highlights. Among these, Asian themes will make for a few surprises with two brand new Asian Links premiering in London as well as the eye-catching Samurai Beauty™ that is making her first appearance in Europe with the V.I.P.

Standalone jackpot titles like Dancing Tiger™, Dancing Lantern™ and Dragon Hits™ as well as the PAYDAY™ Progressives are set to have operators spoilt for choice. “Curve” is one of the buzzwords at this year’s NOVOMATIC show display, and operators will surely cherish what hides behind the name “Concurve 5”.
