NOVOMATIC is going participate in the 15th edition of Entertainment Arena Expo, the region’s most important B2B industry event, which will take place from 5 to 7 September 2023 at Romexpo in Bucharest.
Valentin-Adrian Georgescu, CEO of NOVOMATIC Romania, said: “We invite all our customers and partners to visit our stand # 101, which we are premiering at EAE in exciting new style and discover our many special offers and surprises. Our host at the fair will again be Diana Munteanu, who has already accompanied us at the last two editions: She is looking forward to our visitors testing our high-quality products and participating in surprise tournaments – this year we will be giving away exclusive prizes! Also, Ilie Năstase, the brand ambassador of admiral.ro, will join us to sign autographs and take photos.”
This year, the portfolio has been expanded with new, revolutionary products that cover all the needs of operators, from AWP bars to clubs and sports betting shops. The stars of this show are five progressive jackpot packages that include a selection of innovative games with special features.
“We have also prepared a special programme for the retrofitting of NOVOMATIC gaming machines according to the new legal standards. I am proud that our team is making remarkable efforts to create a truly special and unique gaming fair. We are committed to providing visitors to our stand with an unforgettable experience and offering them something unique at the event, as we continue to revolutionize the gaming market,” Valentin-Adrian Georgescu said.
Live at the show will be the latest cabinet releases with the outstanding BLACK EDITION II series and its flexible portfolio of three new cabinet versions: BLACK EDITION II 3.27, BLACK EDITION II XL 3.32, and BLACK EDITION II 1.49J. All three versions impress with their captivating, sophisticated design and high-impact game presentation. Additionally, they stand out with the harmonious contrast created by the elegant black finish and the innovative LED lighting concept.
The focus is also on the most impressive jackpot offers on the market, with a variety of complete hardware and software packages for all budgets and preferences. Leading NOVOMATIC cabinets are blended with top-performing Progressive multi-game selections and a variety of excellent signage solutions to create a new buzz of excitement on the gaming floor.
New on the Romanian market is the PRIMUS PRO, a cost-effective cabinet that offers excellent value for money. It represents the best alternative as a replacement for outdated Coolfire I gaming machines.
The most popular and successful gaming mix in Romania, Impera Line HD, launches with its new Edition 9. This version offers a selection of classic NOVOMATIC games as well as new releases, and its user-friendly menu helps players easily identify their preferences.
The sports betting terminals will be presented in a dedicated stand area, where visitors can discover the advantages of the exclusive exhibition offers. NOVOMATIC Romania is expanding partnerships with advantageous conditions, offering an even more diverse range of products, including complete sports betting terminals and lottery products, depending on the type of business chosen by the partner.
“It will be an edition you won’t want to miss! From campaigns, exclusive offers, and exclusive exhibition programs to surprises and special prizes. We have carefully created everything to provide the best conditions, both for our customers and their business. We look forward to welcoming visitors to our stand 101 for a glass of champagne and traditional Austrian food,” Laura Boșneag, Sales Director of NOVOMATIC Romania, said.

GGBET UA kicks off the “Keep it GG” promotional campaign
A leading gaming brand in Ukraine has launched a collection of ads featuring the tagline “Keep it GG” as part of an extensive communications initiative. The videos are currently being broadcast on Ukrainian TV, online platforms, and the brand’s social media accounts.
“GG” (Good Game) started in video game culture, yet its significance has far surpassed the literal meaning of “well played.” Currently, it symbolizes a worldwide sign of honor and gratitude for the feelings exchanged following a match, no matter the outcome. This concept served as the basis for GGBET UA’s latest marketing campaign. The video series embodies a unique GG atmosphere: rather than using a conventional voiceover, it incorporates complete audio tracks; the narrative features both literal and metaphorical allusions to sports and esports terms, alongside in-game and casino aspects; and prominent Ukrainian footballers are among the main characters.
“Every game, every match, every tournament is a moment that brings people together. For us, it’s important that every interaction with GGBET gives users that good game feeling — an experience that outlives the result and leaves vivid emotions behind, just like after watching a match,” comments CEO of GGBET UA, Serhii Mishchenko.
Going beyond the traditional view of GG also signifies a more profound implication — the brand’s strategic focus. The international brand, which has concentrated on esports for several years and attained significant success in esports betting and collaborations, is now adopting best practices to enhance traditional sports in regional markets. GGBET UA showcases a wider strategy for Good Game via collaborations (FC Dynamo Kyiv, FC Polissya, and the Ukrainian Basketball Federation), by organizing its own events and special projects, including initiatives that blend sports with esports, like the Match of LeGGends: Derby showmatch on the server featuring esports athletes and football players.
The brand’s creative team collaborated with a Ukrainian advertising agency and a Ukrainian production company to develop the commercials. GGBET UA made this choice to assist the local creative sector amid the war.
