Review ICE TOTALLY GAMING 2015
Leading from the front and always
ahead of the curve Racing across the acres of carpet on the booth at ICE, it’s apparent that such a vast floorspace is actually needed to cover the panoply of gaming solutions offered by Novomatic
At this year’s ICE show in London, CEO Harald Neumann, Novomatic UK CEO Zane Mersich and Novomatic CTO Thomas Graf introduced a line-up of products for global markets that covered every con- ceivable gaming sector. The enormous football pitch- sized stand was a backdrop to an astounding array of games, platforms, online, mobile and land-based solu- tions that teemed with innovation and surprises.
“We bring to this show products created by a research and development team of over one thousand people in 20 competence centres worldwide,” stated Mr. Graf. “In London we are exhibiting more networked products than ever before; smart interconnected products that are connecting players wherever they find themselves to our whole entertainment offer. We are delivering new game maths, new jackpots and new VIP solutions as part of a set of great innovations that are driving the way that people play. And very importantly, we are enhancing the value of land-based operations to enable them to compete with online.”
THE DOMINATOR CURVE Making its first public appearance anywhere in the
world, ICE saw the launch of the Dominator Curve – a sculpted and curvaceous evolution of the hugely suc- cessful Dominator. The Dominator Curve features all the ergonomic and design elements of its predecessor plus an upright 40ins. full HD curved touchscreen. The focal point of the curved screen guarantees maximum impact gaming while sophisticated graphics and sound complete the package. Launched with a set of especially developed brand new games and Novomatic’s first pro- prietary mystery progressive stand-alone jackpot, the Dominator Curve is 2015 first must-have product for casino slot floors.
Further attractions at ICE 2015 included the enhanced Panther Roulette with new attractive LED features, the NovoStar V.I.P. II with its enormous 50ins. screen, pre- sented in Astra’s own highly successful VIP Wall extravaganza, as well as a large range of new games, new mixes and new jackpots.
