After the launch of the DIAMOND X™ 2.32 multi-screen cabinet in March, NOVOMATIC now follows up with the brand-new DIAMOND X™ 1.55 J-curve version of this magnificent video slot cabinet. Its elegant J-curved 1.55” UHD PCAP touchscreen and the exquisite LED silhouette make the DIAMOND X™ 1.55 a safe bet for exciting curve screen game presentation and maximum player appeal.

Refined details like the large foot well, two XL start buttons and the indirect LED lighting concept with intelligent game-synched colour effects ideally contrasting the black metro finish create a sophisticated blend of ergonomics and ambiance. Further design elements, which the DIAMOND X™ 1.55J shares with its sister cabinet are the modern front door panel with the characteristic facelift of the grill and the player interface options: button deck as a standard and a 15.6” TouchDeck™ player interface complemented by two extra-large physical buttons as an option.

The improved maintenance concept for the DIAMOND X™ 1.55J includes a monitor mounting that can be hydraulically lifted, granting excellent access to the key components as well as a folding mechanism for space-optimized, safe transport.

The DIAMOND X™ 1.55J now launches with the exclusive XTENSION LINK™ for the international markets.

Jakob Rothwangl, VP Global Sales NOVOMATIC AG, said: “The DIAMOND X™ 1.55J is our first NOVOMATIC cabinet with the J-curved screen and in any case a successful premiere. It perfectly complements the 2.32 multi-screen version, delivering a highly intriguing presence on the gaming floor, thanks to its stunning indirect LED lighting concept against the backdrop of the black finish. This hardware achievement is complemented by exciting and dedicated content utilizing the big upright screen format. I dare says that the DIAMOND X™ 1.55J definitely has the makings of a new bestseller.”

Modernization adds Momentum ecosystem tools and rolls out new terminals and self-service machines to 1,000+ retailers statewide.

Scientific Games has completed a technology systems conversion for the New Mexico Lottery, modernizing lottery operations with a new gaming system and rolling out retail technology to more than 1,000 locations across the state. The update went live May 11, 2026, according to the company.

Scientific Games said the new system now powers the Lottery’s draw-based and Scratchers’ sales and is designed to simplify product management for retailers. The conversion also includes the launch of the Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership (SGEP) instant game management program, which the company said combines analytics, logistics, retail optimization and product strategy.

“The New Mexico Lottery is officially live with new, modern technology systems that work together to enhance all aspects of our operations and ensure we are well-positioned for our next era of growth,” said David Barden, CEO of the New Mexico Lottery. “We’ve strategically planned every step of this holistic modernization effort with Scientific Games to intelligently operate our retail network, making our Scratchers games easier for retailers to manage in their stores and easily accessible to our valued players.”

Scientific Games said the conversion was developed over the past year and is built on its Momentum ecosystem. Components cited include an advanced central gaming system, the SciTrak instant game distribution system, the gem | intelligence retailer licensing and management portal and the INFUSE business intelligence platform. The company said WAVE clerk-operated terminals and PlayCentral self-service machines will be deployed to retailers in planned phases.

“Congratulations to the New Mexico Lottery for building upon our long-standing instant scratch game partnership, embracing innovation for the future,” said John Schulz, President of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games. “We are proud to serve as the Lottery’s full-line partner and help drive maximum proceeds for New Mexico college students.”
