Casino Estoril Installs NOVOVISION CMS
Casino Estoril has installed the NOVOVISION casino management system as the new futureproof backbone for its business and taking both customer service and experience to the max.
Casino Estoril is renowned for its illustrious history and spectacular size, encompassing not only a broadly diversified casino slots and table games offer, but also five bars, three restaurants, two show venues hosting international show acts and a spacious art gallery. The games comprise more than 490 slot machines as well as Poker, Roulette, Black Jack, Baccarat and the typically Portuguese dice game French Bank. It is a casino with a rich history, deeply rooted in the international entertainment and show business and popular with local guests and tourists alike.
NOVOVISION was implemented at the Casino Estoril with a premium suite of functionalities, enhancing the business processes as well as the player journey with the manifold tools of NV core, access, pay, promo, smart, tables and more. Brand-new NOVOVISION Self-Registration Terminals facilitate fast player access to the gaming floor while maintaining the highest security standards. To enter the casino floors, players can choose to either agree to a biometric registration via fingerprint / facial scan with card or will receive a one-off QR code ticket that entitles them to pass the NV access gates. Most of the live tables have been retrofitted with facial recognition equipment and all EGMs have been equipped with NOVOVISION Player Tracking Modules that will facilitate a smooth gaming experience with the guests’ player account instantly available to them at their fingertips. The maximum ease of play is sustained by an accurate allocation of promotional points and extra loyalty features at the NOVOVISION Promo Tower. At the same time, the casino benefits from precise accounting and player tracking data at the touch of a button and in real time.
George Paterakis, Project Manager NBS, said: “Seeing NOVOVISION in operation in these renowned casinos is very gratifying for our entire team. The joint effort that was put into this project both by our development teams and the experts at Estoril Sol has yielded a highly customized solution for the unique requirements of these operations – and I am truly proud to say that we were able to fulfill every wish. My sincere thanks go to all teams involved, to our trusted local partner Diverstock and to the Estoril Sol management for entrusting us with the innovation of their casino management.”
Marcos Pinto, Managing Director Diverstock, said: “On behalf of the Diverstock team, I would like to thank all involved for the excellent work and support along the entire process. It was admirable to see the synchronized way in which the different teams, from different entities, have managed to work together and carried out an implementation plan in half the scheduled time. Witnessing at close quarters the quality of the work carried out by all the teams involved was extremely gratifying. Special thanks to Dr Bruno Ferreira and the Executive Committee of Estoril Sol for giving us the opportunity to be part of an ambitious but necessary process of modernizing their operations.”
Dr Bruno Ferreira, Gaming Manager/Coordinator Casinos Lisboa and Estoril, said: “With this implementation Estoril Sol completes the systems migration in both properties. System-wise we have a robust solution and will be able to transform our customers’ journey and experience. The migration process was once again quick and efficient. I would like to thank NOVOMATIC’s management team for their support throughout the process, and their entire operational team involved in this implementation. I also need to thank Diverstock, Estoril Sol’s long-standing partner, for their commitment and support throughout the process. Once again Estoril Sol team was up to the challenge and exceeded themselves. Together they were all crucial to the success of this implementation.”

Brazil
The IBJR stresses that combating the illegal market is crucial for Desenrola 2.0
The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR) warns that the effectiveness of financial protection measures in Desenrola 2.0 fundamentally depends on a rigorous fight against the illegal betting market.
It is also worth emphasizing that in 2025, bets placed on licensed platforms accounted for the equivalent of only 0.46% of household consumption in the country, an extremely small share within the Brazilian budget, according to data from a study by LCA Consultoria.
This reinforces that the main factor of indebtedness in the Brazilian budget continues to be the high cost of credit.
The entity also emphasizes that restrictions on access to the regulated sector may encourage users to migrate to clandestine platforms, which already move around R$ 40 billion per year and operate without any oversight or consumer protection mechanisms.
Combating the illegal market is the most urgent step to prevent unlicensed operators—often associated with organized crime—from exploiting periods of restriction to attract vulnerable audiences.
This concern is heightened by the proximity of the World Cup, a period of natural increase in the volume of sports betting, and by the potential loss of R$ 10.8 billion in revenue for the country if consumption shifts to the underground market.
The IBJR reinforces that the real protection of citizens and the integrity of Desenrola 2.0 depend on coordinated action between the government and the private sector.
The organization advocates for public policies that combine financial education, strengthening responsible gambling, and a strategic offensive against clandestine websites, ensuring that entertainment occurs exclusively within a safe, transparent, and properly monitored ecosystem.

ALT Sports Data, a global leader in engagement solutions and official data for emerging sports, has announced a new partnership with Caesars Entertainment. The partnership powers a new, next-generation Formula 1 betting product for Caesars’ sports betting platforms, delivering one of the most advanced wagering experiences ever offered on motorsports across Caesars Sportsbook and William Hill digital and retail platforms.
Caesars Sportsbook and William Hill will leverage ALT Sports Data’s proprietary Formula 1 models, pricing, and real-time data infrastructure to offer a comprehensive and differentiated suite of betting markets. Built on sub-second latency data and hundreds of inputs per car, the platform enables dynamic pricing and continuous market recalibration throughout Formula 1 race weekends.
The product introduces a new category of Formula 1 betting, combining pre-race, in-race, and micro-market opportunities into a single, integrated experience. This includes live race micro markets, predictive driver performance modeling, and large-scale race simulations that generate thousands of possible race outcomes per event, allowing for deeper and more accurate pricing across every lap.
“Formula 1 is one of the most complex and data-rich environments in global sport, and that complexity creates an opportunity to completely redefine the betting experience. Our platform is designed to unlock that potential at scale, and partnering with Caesars allows us to bring a truly differentiated, always-on product to market that reflects the speed, strategy, and unpredictability of Formula 1,” said Joe Dunnigan, CEO and Founder of ALT Sports Data.
“Formula 1 continues to captivate fans with its intensity, strategy, and constant innovation. By integrating ALT Sports Data’s advanced modeling and real-time official data, we’re able to elevate our Formula 1 offering and give customers a more dynamic way to experience every moment of the race weekend,” said Eric Hession, President of Caesars Digital.
In addition to core markets such as race winner and podium finishes, Caesars and William Hill will offer an expanded set of in-play and micro markets, including lap-by-lap driver matchups, fastest segment performance, pit stop outcomes, overtakes, and position-based milestones. These markets are designed to evolve in real time, enabling a true race-within-a-race experience for bettors.
As the Official and Exclusive Betting Data Supplier of Formula 1, ALT Sports Data is building the foundational infrastructure to support the sport’s growing focus on regulated sports betting and fan engagement. With Formula 1 increasing its investment in official betting partnerships and data-driven engagement, the expansion of sophisticated betting products represents a key strategic initiative for the league and its global ecosystem.
The agreement further establishes ALT Sports Data as a key infrastructure partner for sportsbooks and leagues seeking to unlock the next phase of growth in global sports betting through official data, advanced modeling, and real-time fan engagement.
