G2E Asia in Singapore Proved APAC-Highlight for NOVOMATIC
The joint booth of NOVOMATIC and Ainsworth at this year’s G2E Asia at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore presented a premium display of gaming highlights for the APAC region: multi-games and Progressives, powerful ETGs and innovative sports betting kiosks, presented in a stunning range of cabinet hardware.
At the centre of the attention stood NOVOMATIC’s recent cabinet launch DIAMOND X in the versions 3.32 and 1.55J. The winner of the Global Gaming Awards in London in the category “Product Launch of the Year” has quickly become a favourite with international operators and their guests alike, and did not fail to impress the audience in Singapore. Especially the elegant DIAMOND X 1.55J with its J-curve screen and in combination with the new circular signage package for the XTENSION LINK caught the attention of the show visitors. This top-performing set-up already yields clear above-floor-average and in many cases top-floor performance in numerous casinos across different markets.
Another highlight of the NOVOMATIC show display was the brand-new BLACK EDITION II cabinet series. The BLACK EDITION II 3.27 is the true successor of the original BLACK EDITION with a setup of three characteristically angled 27” screens whereas the BLACK EDITION II 1.49J exemplifies a modern approach, featuring a 49” J-curve monitor for the constantly growing range of NOVOMATIC upright games and Progressive titles. The new cabinets were on display with the Superia GOLDEN LINK Volume 1 and Superia CASH CONNECTION Volume 2 linked multi-games as well as with the Impera Line HD Edition 9 and NOVO LINE Interactive Edition X4 multi-game compendiums.
In a special ETG area, NOVOMATIC presented the great versatility of its NOVO UNITY electronic table games platform with latest slant top cabinets, EXECUTIVE SL 1.27 and LOTUS SL 1.27, in a show set-up staging the new Multi-Roulette wheel and a broad choice of ETG games.
Just around the corner, the state-of-the-art sports betting kiosks celebrated their premiere in the APAC region. The NOVOMATIC ActionBook Compact 1.27 is a table-top kiosk featuring one betting screen while the NOVOMATIC ActionBook Plus 2.27 is a twin-screen kiosk – both are constantly growing their footprint internationally as well as in the US as more and more jurisdictions legalise sports betting and operators seek to expand their offer.
Thomas Schmalzer, VP of Global Sales & Product Management at NOVOMATIC AG, said: “It was fantastic to see the region’s industry return to its former vigour at this show, and even more gratifying to see confirmation of the great appeal of our powerful portfolio of products and solutions to operators in the APAC region.”
