NOVOMATIC Launches GLOBE LINK Xtension Volume 2
Once again, Cartagena became the center of the gaming industry, and NOVOMATIC’s booth at GAT Cartagena drew everyone’s attention with the official launch of GLOBE LINK Xtension Volume 2, a solution that refreshes and strengthens the brand’s Linked Progressives portfolio.
The launch was presented as part of the exclusive RUBY PACKAGE, which combines this new game series with the BLACK EDITION II 1.49J cabinet – a vertical format with a J-curved screen, ideal for showcasing immersive bonus games and captivating visual elements – along with a completely renewed sign that is designed to have a high visual impact and enhance floor performance.
With engaging mechanics – such as Golden Spins, Expanding Reels, and the Xpress Feature – plus five high-performing titles (Golden Chicago XL, Savanna Heat, Sugar Bliss, Thunder Reign, and Tiki Crush), this new jackpot was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the event.
For operators seeking premium experiences, NOVOMATIC introduced the OBSIDIAN PACKAGE, combining the IMPERA LINK Series 2 jackpot with the BLACK EDITION II 3.27 cabinet, which is known for its striking design and operational versatility.
Alongside these solutions, the brand reinforced its leadership in the Linked Progressives category, showcasing options like SUPERIA GOLDEN LINK Volume 2, available in the BLACK EDITION II 3.32, and NOVOLINE GOLDEN LINK Edition 2, displayed in the MASTER SL 3.32 cabinet.
In the multi-game segment, NOVOMATIC showcased the renowned NOVOLINE Interactive Edition X4 and Impera Line HD Edition 9, both integrated into PANTHER 2.27 cabinets, recognized for their proven performance and adaptability to different floor profiles.
“With GLOBE LINK Xtension Volume 2, we’re adding a new alternative to our flagship category. This launch enhances the player experience through real innovation and tools that help our clients achieve better results,” said Manuel Del Sol, Managing Director of NOVOMATIC Gaming Colombia.
NOVOMATIC’s booth at GAT Cartagena also became a place for making connections. Clients, operators, and partners enjoyed personalized attention in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere that fostered genuine conversations and meaningful networking.
“At GAT Cartagena, our goal wasn’t just to showcase our products, but also to create a space where our clients could truly experience the brand. Our booth reflected that vision: top-tier solutions, personalized service, and a setting designed to build real relationships,” added Manuel Del Sol, Managing Director of NOVOMATIC Gaming Colombia.

Gamblers Connect names Gali Hartuv as seventh 2026 Contributors Program voice
The Playa strategic advisor will publish on VIP operations, segmentation and retention, starting with an anonymous VIP Operations Survey 2026.
Gamblers Connect has confirmed Gali Hartuv, Strategic Advisor at The Playa, as the seventh voice to join its 2026 Contributors Program.
The independent B2B iGaming media platform said the programme will reveal one senior industry voice per month throughout 2026, with contributors publishing under the Gamblers Connect Contributor Editorial Code.
Gamblers Connect said Hartuv has more than 15 years’ experience in VIP management, including designing and optimising VIP programmes across more than 50 operator brands, and training “hundreds of professionals” now working in VIP roles across the industry.
Hartuv will publish across four areas: building VIP programmes that drive long-term value; AI-powered VIP identification and player segmentation; hyper-personalisation and retention strategy; and scaling VIP operations across different markets and cultures. His first contribution is a VIP Operations Survey 2026, an anonymous survey intended to benchmark how VIP teams work across iGaming operators, including portfolio sizing, tools, qualification thresholds, workflow standards and where time is spent during the week.
Partnerships and Operations Lead, Luka Dimitrijevic, said: “VIP management is where a great deal of an operator’s value is won or lost, and very few people can speak to it with Gali’s depth. He has spent his career turning high value player relationships into a discipline rather than guesswork, and he is refreshingly candid about what works and what does not. Through the Contributors Program he will share practical insight on VIP strategy, retention, and the smart use of AI, with content grounded in real results rather than recycled best practices.”

The company said its platform connects partners to more than 200 game providers via a single API.
David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said:
“Entering Alberta’s regulated market is a strong step for St8 that represents our continued efforts to bring our offerings to as many territories as possible, delivering top-tier results for partnerships at the local, national and international stage. We share this commitment with TonyBet, a company that we are very fortunate to be working with so collaboratively and closely as we continue to grow our presence across North America.”
