Directly at the entrance of the gaming show, the team of NOVOMATIC Ukraine welcomed show visitors with a stand, presenting a marketspecific selection of products and gaming solutions featuring on a 8x4 m video wall. The local operators showed great interest in the dedicated NOVOMATIC product portfolio for the Ukraine, especially the CASH CONNECTION™ Progressive multi-game editions and the larger-than-life NOVOSTAR® V.I.P. Royal 2.65 set-up including a huge 65” game monitor and the luxurious V.I.P. chair, as well as the state-of-the-art casino management system of NOVOMATIC Biometric Systems (NBS).

Right away, some customers have used to opportunity to place additional orders at the show.

In spite of the restrictions imposed by COVID-19, we consider the reopening of the gaming market in Ukraine a key step for the development of a well-regulated, transparent and thriving local gaming industry. With the support of the various teams and departments at the NOVOMATIC headquarters, we have focused our efforts on the full support of the local operators.
