Novomatic, Foxwoods to Premier ETGs

Novomatic Americas and Foxwoods Resort Casino will premier a display of over 54 dealer-assisted electronic table games at the Connecticut casino.

Novomatic Americas, the U.S. subsidiary of Austria’s Novomatic Group, has signed a multi-year agreement with Foxwoods Casino Resort, North America’s largest casino property, that will bring Novomatic’s industry-leading dealer-assisted electronic table game product lines to the Connecticut casino.

The initial installation features a combination of 30 electronic gaming terminals in an inviting layout where live dealers drive the play of Novo TouchBet Live-Baccarat and Novo TouchBet Live-Black Jack, with multi-table selection on demand. Huge screens, dramatic lighting and personal player stations containing charging ports, bag hooks and dedicated beverage holders complete the offering. A second installation of 24 units will follow.

“The entire team at Novomatic Americas is proud to be a part of this exciting entertainment concept,” said Rick Meitzler, president and CEO of Novomatic Americas. “Novo Line Novo Unity II has proved to be a world-leading ETG platform in its class, providing a flexible, secure and robust system to create incredible player excitement. Our ETG system is easily configurable and expands as player demand increases. Over the past several months our teams have worked together on new game concepts, design, development and the necessary approvals.”

The relationship allows Novomatic and Foxwoods to continue collaboratively expanding their product offerings from slots and the successful Foxwoods Online Casino, powered by Greentube Pro, to an extended electronic table games experience on the casino floor.

Wayne Theiss, senior vice president of table games for Foxwoods, added, “We are constantly looking for creative and interesting ways to entertain our players. The Novomatic Americas team are great partners because they understand operations. They are operators and innovators. They listen and will deliver a mix of new products offering a range of entertaining, player-friendly electronic table gaming choices.”

Novomatic’s Novo Unity II is a world-renowned entertainment system that provides a player-friendly, low barrier to entry, welcoming gaming experience. The multi-player terminal is built on the huge success of the system in Europe and can be displayed with virtual “Flying” versions of blackjack, roulette, baccarat, sib bo and Poker 3. The dealer-operated Novo TouchBet® Live-Roulette, together with automated Novo Multi-Roulette and Novo Flying Roulette, as well as baccarat and blackjack games, may be connected on the terminals to enable simultaneous betting.

The product line is highly configurable to achieve a vast array of floor designs, player experiences and space requirements.

The installation will take place during Q4 this year.
