Slot supplier Novomatic Americas has released a preview of the products it will display in Booth 1259 at the Global Gaming Expo.
An extensive Novomatic product range that features new games and game mixes, a series of advanced cabinets, progressive jackpots, electronic table games, sports betting and system solutions, as well as online gaming developments, will be on full display at Booth 1259 at G2E 2018, which is shared with Ainsworth Game Technology, for which Novomatic Americas parent Novomatic AG is majority shareholder.
Commercial and tribal gaming operators will be able to explore the wide-ranging product suite on offer and understand how Novomatic’s award-winning technology can boost their operations. The Novostar V.I.P. 3.50 cabinet with Python Chair, billed as the next level of player immersion, will present a new IP title for casino markets—MacGyver.
Based on the iconic TV show of the ’80s, players join Richard Dean Anderson and the lead cast on an explosive adventure as they use paper clips, duct tape and chewing gum to collect prizes and unlock progressive jackpots.
It will join From Dusk Till Dawn, launched last year, in Novomatic’s branded offerings. Both IP titles will also be presented in a compact style on the V.I.P. Lounge 2.32 cabinet.
Spearheaded by the Panthera 2.27 twin screen cabinet, and the Panthera 1.43 and V.I.P. Lounge 1.43 that feature curved-screen 4K displays, various cabinet series for all-sized venues will showcase a selection of new single games—featuring Dragon Hits, Prize of the Nile, Prized Panda, Princesses of War, Riches Ahoy! and Great American Wilds—from the Novomatic Americas Mount Prospect, Illinois studio and the Winfinity Games and 707 Games studios in Austria.
The Enchanted Fortunes Linked Jackpot will show progressive themes from the Fortunes series, new Otium bingo games will be on display, and leading multi-game mixes will be presented—with new mixes for Illinois and Pennsylvania VGT markets, and a newly designed mix targeting Latin America.
Electronic table games based on the internationally renowned Novo Line Novo Unity II platform have been growing their U.S. footprint, and at G2E, automated, virtual and live versions of popular table games will be presented with two automated roulette wheels and a live baccarat table to demonstrate variations of the powerful system. Adding to the popular Cammegh Spread-Bet Roulette, new Black Jack and Baccarat Spread-Bet side bets make their debut at the show, and prominent signage from Novomatic Media Technologies will round-off this year’s ETG display.
Recognizing a large-scale opportunity in sports betting has proved fruitful as the U.S. sports betting market is now open for business, Novomatic has teamed up with Sportradar to co-develop an innovative line of sports betting products and services that will be demonstrated on a special area of the Novomatic booth dedicated to sports betting.
Another designated area for systems will display the scalable and modular Octavian myACP casino management system.
Greentube online content will feature in the Novomatic Interactive area with titles such as Almighty Reels-Realm of Poseidon, Jaguar Moon, Steinhaus and Asian Diamonds among the highlights. Online versions of Novomatic slots popular in the U.S. land-based market—featuring From Dusk Till Dawn and the Tales of Darkness series with Lunar Eclipse, Full Moon and Break of Dawn themes—will demonstrate an extensive range of omni-channel offerings.
Ainsworth’s portfolio will include the company’s Class III, Class II, Washington state and historical horse racing product lines. On show will be a selection of new stand-alone and linked progressive games, new titles on the A640 cabinets, online gaming content, the upgraded EVO cabinet that makes its North American trade show debut, and new linked progressive brands including the new Pac-Man Link series.
“The player entertainment experience is most important, and good content is king,” said Rick Meitzler, CEO of Novomatic Americas. “With new titles, innovative progressive product lines and electronic table game solutions, it’s going to be a fantastic show for us. What is most exciting as we are preparing for G2E 2018 is the amount of titles and cabinets that we have in the pipeline for 2019.
“This will be a breakout year for us in the VGT market as well, with the planned launch of our Octavian myACP system and new game suites for both Illinois and Pennsylvania. Look out for us at G2E—we have the right team, and I’m excited to show off our great product selection.”
