The Casino Bremerhaven and Spielbank Bremen have always been committed to modern gaming entertainment and first-class service. In line with the ongoing modernisation, the management decided to invest in a future-proof CMS and found the solution in NOVOVISION (NV).

Out of the manifold system functionalities that will constitute the complete system implementation, stage one focuses on the business processes, cash management via TiTo, video slots and live tables. NOVOVISION core comprises the complete slots, jackpot and player management as well as casino accounting and reporting processes for the 141 EGMs in Bremen and 88 EGMs at the venue in Bremerhaven, all of which have been retrofitted with NV player tracking modules. NV tables live table accounting also smoothly integrates the eight live tables at the main venue in Bremen into the combined accounting and reporting.

Part of NV pay are new NV Cash Terminals – NCM 70 and NCM 90 in Bremen and NCM 90 in Bremerhaven. These serve the players in both venues as fast and intuitive self-service ticket redemption terminals for the currently implemented TITO system.

In the next implementation stages, both venues will introduce new NV access gates, complete with an individual player card system and biometric customer recognition as well as single wallet options and a series of NV smart functionalities, both for staff and customers.

Peter Hauptmann, Sales Manager NBS, said: “We are delighted with this implementation at the Bremer Spielcasino GmbH & Co KG. After a thorough evaluation, the management decided in favour of NOVOVISION due to the functionalities of the solution and the services offered. As a result, we were commissioned by our long-standing NOVOMATIC customer to implement the full system functionalities and to establish the necessary IT infrastructure to ensure smooth operations. With this setup and the visionary system capacities, the customer is now not only in a position to master day-to-day casino operations with maximum efficiency, but is also fit for the new challenges that may arise with the upcoming regulatory changes in Germany. We really enjoyed the cooperation throughout the planning stages and the implementation process as it was evident that both sides have a highly structured expert approach. This successful project has strengthened our business relationship and I am grateful and also a little proud to see the casinos in the Hanseatic City of Bremen now reopened and both fully running on our CMS.”

Peter Schneider, Managing Director Spielbank Bremen & Casino Bremerhaven, said: “We are pleased to announce the successful and seamless implementation of the NOVOVISION Casino Management System, completed on schedule. This state-of-the-art solution enhances our operational efficiency while ensuring full compliance with evolving regulatory requirements. By integrating NOVOVISION, we are investing in a cutting-edge platform that provides transparency, security, and scalability. This strategic step strengthens our company’s technological foundation and positions us for long-term success in a dynamic industry environment. We extend our sincere appreciation to all team members and partners whose expertise and dedication have been instrumental in the successful execution of this project.”
