NEW CASINO FLAMINGO GALA
The Novomatic Group celebrated the acquisition of what has become the latest flagship operation in Macedonia with the new Casino FlaminGO
The Novomatic Group has bought what it describes as ‘the latest flagship operation in Macedonia’ with the new Casino FlaminGO.
The Casino FlaminGO Hotel complex is situated in the south of Macedonia directly on the Greek bor- der and creates a new entertainment attraction for the region: with a live casino gaming offering, a five-star hotel with 58 rooms and wellness offering as well as two restaurants, a selection of bars, a night club and an event stage. The Casino FlaminGO’s premium gaming entertainment offer- ing includes 440 slots, 10 American Roulette tables and 16 card tables ranging from Black Jack to Caribbean Stud Poker and Ultimate Texas Hold’em Poker. Opening hours are 24/7 with first class serv- ice and assistance in Greek, Macedonian and English through expert staff at all times.
The launch night of the New Casino FlaminGO Gala saw Niki Lauda make his first appearance as a brand ambassador at an official Novomatic event. Due to his enormous popularity in southern Europe he was already warmly welcomed by his fans at the airport and took his time signing autographs. Niki Lauda also enjoyed himself at the gala event – admitting that for him, too, this event was a pre-
2 8 miere: “I’ve never been to a casino before.”
The Novomatic Group acquired the FlaminGO casi- no and hotel complex from an Austrian investor in autumn 2013 and has since adapted the premises – amounting to a total investment of €25m. Apart from the casino the Novomatic Group operates 33 electronic casinos in a market of 65 legal operations in Macedonia – a further six operations are planned to open within the next two months.
The initial expenditures of the Novomatic Group in
Macedonia already amount to €40m making the Group the second biggest Austrian investor in Macedonia and today providing employment for 1,000 staff. Novomatic CEO Franz Wohlfahrt: “We have already made significant investments in the Macedonian market, as it is a strictly regulated gaming market with an excellent business potential that is based on a sound legal framework. The Macedonian live casino market is currently limited to three large casino operations only, which cannot supply the great demand for sophisticated gaming entertainment. Therefore we have projected addi- tional investments amounting to €10m for the fur- ther expansion of the Casino FlaminGO as well as the Novomatic infrastructure in the country.”
