NOVOMATIC to Present Major Innovations at ICE
January 15, 2014
Continuing to lead the way for the international gaming industry NOVOMATIC pulls back the curtain to reveal major new technology innovations at ICE Totally Gaming.
NOVOMATIC is again, as has for many years been traditional, the largest exhibitor at ICE Totally Gaming (February 4th – 6th, London ExCeL) and presents a wide range of new technology and product innovations during the show.
Together with the Austrian Gaming Industries GmbH (AGI) team, representatives from many of the NOVOMATIC Group’s subsidiary companies from around the world come together at ICE; covering Europe, Asia, Latin America, USA, Africa and UK. Each of these teams are anticipating meeting their customers, making new contacts and presenting exciting new product innovations such as new cabinets, new systems and new games as well as games compendiums.
Cabinets
To prove that it is possible to succeed beyond success comes the NOVOSTAR® V.I.P. The latest evolution of the world-beating NOVOSTAR® slant top cabinet is now designed into the V.I.P. configuration to bring the biggest slot gaming attraction onto the gaming floor. Retaining the unique ‘flip screen’ feature of the original NOVOSTAR®, this V.I.P. cabinet is further upgraded by a giant 46” upper screen positioned at the perfect ergonomic distance for supreme game play. The featured Crown V.I.P. chair with integrated sound system completes the thrilling gaming experience of this unique cabinet innovation. Without doubt, the NOVOSTAR® V.I.P is ready to take on the mantle of its predecessor and become a global ‘must have’ addition to any gaming operation.
Games, game compendiums and jackpots
With new additions to the NOVO LINE™ and Coolfire™ II game compendium ranges, the completely new Superia Games™ game mixes as well as a plethora of individual game titles, games are right at the forefront of the NOVOMATIC ICE presentation. More than 50 new games titles are presented at the London show either as single games or in sophisticated multi-game mixes. Among them are dedicated ‘Themed Slots’ that are an ideal fit to create themed jackpot banks with the Marilyn Jackpot, the Elvis-themed Real King Jackpot or brand new the Ancient Egypt-style Kingdom of Ra™ Jackpot. Also the new Hybrid Jackpot™ celebrates its premiere in London – pioneering the first time ever combination of a Community Jackpot and Mystery Jackpot …all in one product.
Panther Roulette™
The evolution of the original Pinball Roulette™ is staged at ICE with the Panther Roulette™ and Panther Roulette™ II. The Panther Roulette™ is the evolution of the Pinball Roulette™ and comes with a new Autostart button on the right hand side of the hand rest for increased player comfort. The Panther Roulette™ II additionally features a second 32” full HD screen in a vertical position on top of the machine with Flip Screen functionality. Both versions are available with a comprehensive multi-game offering of 23 HD video slot games and will be presented for the first time on the London show floor.
A technology breakthrough: NOVOMATIC Biometric Systems™
Pushing the boundaries of gaming technology is part of the DNA of the NOVOMATIC Group and the ICE show sees the public debut of a long running development project, NOVOMATIC Biometric Systems™. Biometrics are the ultimate tool to progress the unique identification of an individual and NOVOMATIC has developed, in-house, NOVOMATIC Biometric Systems™ (NBS) to facilitate a modern approach to contemporary demands in and beyond the gaming industry. At ICE, the NOVOMATIC Biometric Systems™ consists of a modified fingerprint scanner, a local server and, in order to link multiple sites, a central server. Significantly, all existing NOVOMATIC products are already ‘NBS ready’, meaning that they can be easily and quickly upgraded and networked. What was science fiction just a few years ago will be seen as ‘science now’ during ICE.
NOVOMATIC Remote Play™: Causing an industry stir
Already seen, in working prototype form, at last year’s G2E show in Las Vegas and also at the recent inaugural Macao Gaming Show NOVOMATIC’s modern WLAN casino gaming solution NOVOMATIC Remote Play™ is presented at ICE 2014 in London with a whole range of new product features.
This secure portable tablet PC gaming solution provides new possibilities for casino operators to offer their guests comfort, service and mobility. Via the casino’s securely configured tablets guests can play their favourite NOVOMATIC NOVO LINE™ machines and games everywhere within the casino’s WLAN reach while they move around freely. The latest product development now provides guests with a thrilling range of new product features that make NOVOMATIC Remote Play™ the ultimate comprehensive casino gaming and service solution. Visitors at ICE can see and try the newly enhanced version of NOVOMATIC Remote Play™ for themselves and are sure to be hugely attracted to the new possibilities that the system offers.
The NOVOMATIC group presents all these innovations, attractions and more once ICE Totally Gaming opens its doors in London and, in so doing, help prove that world’s greatest gaming expo is ‘Simply Sensational’.
