n terms of game play and game development, ETGs are a product range that continues to explore new offers. Major advantages for both
operator and player and for various reasons, are the maximized security of the automated game, its increased game frequency and the enhanced player privacy for the guest playing at an ETG terminal. Looking at the Novo Unity™ II platform, operators can even make dealer-operated live tables available on electronic player terminals, along with the broad portfolio of other ETGs, alternative Roulette games and even video slots. The NOVOMATIC ETG portfolio also offers players highly popular simultaneous betting options, meaning that the guest can choose to bet on various Roulette tables or other electronic tables games at the same time. Especially Roulette, as a traditional live game and major casino table game attraction, has a huge international fan base. Recent technology- driven enhancements for NOVOMATIC’s Novo Unity™ II-based Roulette portfolio focus on additional jackpot games for additional thrills and winning chances for the player as well as new revenue opportunities for the operator. New game innovations, such as Lucky Lady’s™ Roulette and the GOING FOR GOLD™ jackpot game, lend themselves very naturally to the ETG format, with game flow greatly improved. Both games have very quickly become popular with players and operators alike, offering spellbinding graphics, the familiarity of a traditional roulette game as well as the addition of bonus multipliers, enhancing the portfolio and even further strengthening the appeal of ETGs. Modern technologies have also provided the
basis for more creative approaches to ETG setups, for example with Wide Area Networks whereby ETG terminal units in different locations are connected to one centrally positioned dealer, Roulette wheel or other form of RNG unit. Utilising the technology of NOVOMATIC’s cutting-edge

wide-area-network infrastructure and driven by the unrivalled Novo Unity™ II system, the revolutionary NovoLive™ Studio is set to redefine the live gaming experience. NOVOMATIC Gaming UK offers immersive and uninterrupted play from a fully licensed and highly secure UK casino studio, enabling the broadcast of live dealer table games operated by a team of highly skilled croupiers 24/7, 364 days a year, to gaming machines in venues nationwide and beyond. Since its launch in late 2022, the NovoLive™ Studio has rapidly gained popularity, becoming the principal game provider to almost 1,000 Novo Unity™ II terminals across the UK in 2023, with scheduled installations increasing this quantity monthly. Commenting on its immediate success, Phil
Burke, Managing Director at NOVOMATIC Gaming UK, said: “The advantages of the NovoLive™ Studio are numerous and readily apparent, including consistent, stable game delivery with optimised timing for ETG terminals, superb quality HD video feeds, 24/7 availability on a wide range of game options and the ability to offer Wide Area Network, single or multi-operator progressive jackpot games like the ground-breaking Going for Gold™, impossible without a central game generating hub, as well as the cost savings available by offering live gaming on an ETG without the need to open a local live table when there are no table players.” He continues: “Where the timing proved
particularly apposite is with the changes we identified in player behaviour in the post-pandemic world. We recognised that the increased popularity of electronic terminals, coinciding with a rise in general operating costs and associated challenges in meeting staffing levels that now face casino operators following reopening, required advanced solutions and a new way of thinking about how we can further enhance support for our customers with the services we offer. The answer was the NovoLive™ Studio.”
