At the center of the booth were the two new cabinet versions DIAMOND X 1.55J and DIAMOND X 2.32, on display with the exciting and colorful THUNDER CASH X Linked Progressive titles of the new Candelas De Los Muertos series, Señorita Suerte and Señor Muerte, as well as a broad variety of other progressive highlights.

Both are constantly growing their footprint in the US markets as more and more states legalize sports betting and casino operators seek to expand their offer.
NOVOMATIC gaming excitement for route operators in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia but also tailored products for Georgia and Puerto Rico were on show with a variety of game mixes presented in leading cabinets as well as scalable management systems.
The online gaming offer of Greentube, the NOVOMATIC digital gaming and entertainment division, perfectly complemented the land-based offer with its ever-growing range of online content comprising both, NOVOMATIC classics as well as proprietary brands and developments.
Rick Meitzler, President and CEO of NOVOMATIC Americas, said: “This year’s G2E was one of those shows where you can hardly wait to boast the news. We had strong growth in all verticals during the past months, and as we were looking to continue to increase our product performance in every product category, we have listened to input every step of the way. That strong relationship with our customers continues to pay off in innovative strength, in performance, and ultimately, in excellent and fast ROI for our customers. Given the fantastic visitor interest and excellent feedback on our products, this G2E was a very successful show.”
NOVOMATIC AG Board Member Johannes Gratzl said: “The G2E in Las Vegas as the largest US gaming trade fair has always been one of the most important major events in the annual trade fair calendar for NOVOMATIC. We are therefore particularly proud to have achieved a truly outstanding trade fair success in Las Vegas this year with our portfolio not only for the US market, but also for the international markets from Latin America to Europe and Asia.”
