NOVOMATIC has completed one of the largest transactions in its corporate history, the acquisition of the HBG Group, making NOVOMATIC one of the largest concessionaires in Italy.

“With this acquisition, NOVOMATIC is sending
a clear signal of further international expansion and can double its market share as a concessionaire in one of the key European gaming markets,” said Ryszard Presch, NOVOMATIC Executive Board Member. Johannes Gratzl, NOVOMATIC Executive Board Member, added: “With this successful closing of one of the largest takeover transactions in our company history, we have laid the foundation for further sustainable growth.” In addition to the technological market
leadership that has already existed for years, NOVOMATIC is now one of the largest operators of VLTs and AWPs in Italy in the operational segment and will further develop the online gaming and sports betting segments in this market in the future. With this transaction, the number of employees of the Group has increased to more than 3,000 in Italy, and more than 21,900 worldwide.
