Novomatic with New Thrills in Macau

With the eagerly awaited Asian launch of its brand new Dominator® cabinet, complete with a range of NOVO LINE™ Interactive games, at the annual G2E Asia show held in Macau Novomatic, together with its local partner for Macau and the Philippines, Jade Gaming, firmly established itself as a real Star of Asia.

First seen at London’s ICE Totally Gaming show in February the star of the show at G2E Asia was undoubtedly brand new Dominator® cabinet with a range of NOVO LINE™ INTERACTIVE games – among them the single game Reach the Hill™ in combination with the amazing new Community Jackpot AMAZELAND™. A second bank of Dominator® cabinets was shown connected to the card-animated four level mystery progressive Magic Joker Jackpot™. Both jackpot presentations use the Dominator’s innovative flexible 18.5” TFT topper for the jackpot animation and the machines’ third screens for the jackpot levels. The Dominator® was being presented for the first time in Asia and even ahead of the show had attracted strong levels of interest from local operators.

Also attracting much interest in Macao was the innovative Pinball Roulette™, a single player Roulette terminal that uniquely combines the attraction of the traditional Roulette with the amusement factor of a pinball launching mechanism and Octavian’s casino management system ACP (Accounting Control Progressives System). The latter connected all of the Super-V+ Gaminator® III machines at the show booth to demonstrate the various modular functionalities of the ACP system.

The Super-V+ Gaminator® III section featured two market-specific Asian game mixes: the Super-V+ Gaminator® A2 multi-game mix based on Coolfire™ II and the NOVO LINE™ Interactive Macao-Mix based on the NOVO LINE™ INTERACTIVE server-based-ready platform.

Further products presented in Macau were a NOVO LINE Novo Unity™ II multiplayer installation comprising six player terminals and one automated Roulette wheel, with an array of eight further virtual live games as well as video slots on each of the terminals: Novo Multi-Roulette™ as well as the fully animated (‘Flying’) versions of Roulette, Double Action Roulette, Baccarat, Black Jack, Texas Hold’Em Poker, Poker 3, Bingo and Sic Bo.

And finally, also for the first time to be seen in Asia, was Novomatic’s new, flexible and comprehensive video content delivery system, packed into a sophisticated one-stop-shop hardware and software solution: ADMIRAL Absolute Vision™. It allows operators to display all kinds of video content from diverse sources on all types of screens in different flexible configurations.

Jens Halle, Managing Director Austrian Gaming Industries GmbH (AGI) stated: “We were extremely pleased to bring a great range of already highly successful international product developments here to G2E Asia and we were extremely encouraged to see the very positive operator response. Together with our local partner Jade Gaming we have once again demonstrated the company’s commitment to the important Asian markets by presenting specifically designed game compendiums in our latest Super-V+ Gaminator® and Novo Line Interactive multi-game mixes. Judged by the extremely powerful positive reactions we are absolutely convinced that the time is right for Novomatic to take its place as a major force in Asian gaming.”
