GeWeTe take cash handling to another level at Irish Gaming Show
Gauselmann Group owned GeWeTe, widely regarded as the international industry’s premier cash handling experts, continued its support of the Irish Gaming Show with a high profile presence and product display which featured the Cash Center Premium, Cash Recycler Premium, WGS 200 and WGS 102 Tap & Play. Reflecting on GeWeTe’s presence in Dublin and the market’s response to its product offering, Sales Manager for UK and Ireland, Mark Edmundson said: “Exhibitions and events such as the Irish Gaming Show are an invaluable opportunity to meet with the industry, listen to the issues of the day and demonstrate how we can help solve problems and wherever possible, create opportunities.
“This was GeWeTe’s fifth year in Dublin and followed our strong and successful showings at both EAG in January and last month’s ICE London. On a personal level I have been working with the Irish operators for over 30-years now and it was great to welcome so many visitors and familiar faces to our stand. The feedback we received was very positive and complimentary about both our portfolio and the technical back up that we offer. Although there was interest across our product line-up it was the Cash Center Premium with its stylish design and high capacity note dispenser – all backed by GeWeTe’s renowned reputation for reliability and high security features – that was the main talking point.”
He continued: “The industry is placing more emphasis on aesthetics and not just functionality and to that end many of our stand visitors highlighted the contemporary design of the range. Operators are making significant investments to deliver a contemporary consumer experience which means that all products need to complement and not detract from the environment in which they are sited. When products such as the Cash Center Premium are able to combine functionality, reliability, and great design with industry-leading technical back-up, you know you are on to a winner.”

NODWIN Gaming Sells Stake in EVO to RTS, Reinforces Strategic Focus on Emerging Markets
NODWIN Gaming has announced the strategic sale of its entire stake in the Evolution Championship Series (EVO) to long-time partner RTS, aligning the tournament with an investment-driven growth strategy while sharpening its own focus on emerging markets.
The move supports EVO’s next phase of global expansion, which requires significant capital and long-term scaling initiatives. Although ownership has transferred to RTS, NODWIN Gaming will remain involved as a strategic regional partner, contributing operational expertise and community development across key growth territories.
For more than two decades, EVO has served as a central pillar of the global fighting game community, evolving from a grassroots gathering into one of the world’s premier competitive platforms. Under RTS leadership, the tournament is expected to expand its international footprint while preserving its community-driven ethos.
The divestment forms part of NODWIN Gaming’s broader portfolio realignment, allowing the company to deepen its presence in fast-growing gaming markets, invest in local intellectual property, and build sustainable esports ecosystems across the Global South.
Akshat Rathee, Co-Founder and Managing Director of NODWIN Gaming, said:
“EVO represents the passion, resilience, and spirit of the fighting game community, and it is a privilege for us to be part of that journey. As the platform steps into a new era of global opportunity, we see RTS as the right partner to build on its strong foundation and guide its continued evolution. For NODWIN, this is a strategic step that sharpens our focus on markets where gaming is witnessing extraordinary momentum. Our commitment to growing esports ecosystems remains unwavering, and we look forward to collaborating with RTS to bring EVO experiences to new audiences while continuing to shape the future of gaming across emerging regions.”
The strategic shift also reflects strong financial momentum for NODWIN Gaming, which returned to EBITDA-positive performance in Q3 2025 while reporting 58% year-on-year revenue growth to INR 530.3 crore (USD 58.5 million) for the first nine months of FY26.
