AUTUMN ROUND-UP Novomatic
A progressive product update from the gaming giant
D
uring recent months, the gaming industry has had to adapt to an entirely new situation; while most of our daily lives and business slowed down considerably, gaming
operators across the globe had to completely suspend their business. Manufacturers like NOVOMATIC however, continued their R&D processes and product development cycles under the new circumstances, adhering to their release schedules with even more zest, in order to be able to provide what the market needs with a refreshed presentation of attractions, once casinos would reopen and players return. With a gaming show calendar full of postponed and cancelled events, NOVOMATIC – like other manufacturers – had little opportunity to present their newest products to a broader audience face-to-face – but, nonetheless, there’s plenty to see! Starting with this year’s highlight product, CASH CONNECTION Edition 1 which has now launched, with installations rolling out in the international markets. This Linked Progressive multi-game compendium comprises four Linked titles with a variety of Progressive options: Charming Lady Lock’N’Win, Emperor’s China Lock’N’Win, Empress of the Pyramids Lock’N’Win and Sizzling Hot Lock’N’Win. The fi rst three of these characters already have a proven track record of success in a number of markets, while the fourth game is a new Progressive version of the legendary fruit game. Presented in banks of leading NOVOMATIC single screen and multi-screen cabinets, each title comes with a Lock’N’Win feature that thrills players with instant prizes and more and more chances for the big jackpot wins. Next up is the MONEY PARTY Link, with a
stronger focus on the US but available also for the international markets. The titles Fruity Fruity and Juicy Juicy set the stage for a 2-level Progressive Link that especially attracts purists and fruit game enthusiasts with varieties of Wilds, a Mystery Bonus Pick & Win feature and the Money Party™ Respin Feature for the GRAND and MAJOR. Highlighted at ICE in February and planned
as a key starter for NIGA and G2E later in the year were the single-screen titles Dancing Tiger and Dancing Lantern. Adding two special Asian highlights to the broad NOVOMATIC game

envelope, players know something special is coming, but don’t know how many coins will appear or if they’ll trigger the bonus.” With player-friendly multi-denomination options and the most powerful talismans crowding the reels, the POWER PRIZES collection of games are a marvellous attraction for every gaming fl oor that can be presented in both, single screen curve and multi-screen versions for all the latest NOVOMATIC cabinets. As autumn moves on, further Progressive
portfolio, they present colourful variations of the popular ALLPAY game play and exciting Standalone Progressive thrills for players who prefer to not share. The central character on both titles is the benevolent – and quite cheerful – Asian Emperor, keeper of a marvellous bowl full of gold coins and jackpot treasures. Both games come with a Free Games feature including a Mystery Pick option with a possible maximum of up to 15 free spins on a 5x6 layout, plus a Pick & Win Jackpot Feature for the SILVER, GOLD, MAJOR or GRAND. POWER PRIZES is another set of Standalone
Progressives – out of NOVOMATIC Americas’ Mount Prospect game studio – that is getting ready to launch. Made in the US but set to conquer the world, these three magnifi cent Asian ALLPAY titles make up a powerful, banked package. Noble Peacock, Royal Crane and Eternal Mandarin Ducks pay tribute to the rich symbolism of bird life in Chinese mythology. The precious Lotus Flower opens extra chances in the free spins while Red Envelopes add some extra Coin power to trigger the POWER PRIZES Coin-Respin Feature for the jackpot prizes. “We’re always looking for ways to celebrate wins,” says Matt Ward, VP of Product Development NOVOMATIC Americas. “In the case of the red
products will make their mark – with the LUCKY TWIST Link soon ready to launch, the stunning Samurai Beauty preparing to hit the Gong for great news and even more Progressive highlights in the pipeline.
Jens Einhaus, VP International Sales, Europe & The Americas says: “The NOVOMATIC Progressives portfolio has made great progress during the past year, with intense development efforts across all our game studios. The results are quite impressive and will certainly make their mark on casino fl oors all over the world. Progressives are no longer just an “APAC and North American thing” – they’ve found their way to Europe and to other international casino fl oors and they are defi nitely here to stay. Our recent roadmap of products takes this into account and will soon follow up with more exciting developments as time moves on.”
