Success for NOVOMATIC Ukraine at the ‘Gaming Industry’ Exhibition in Kiev

The first international Ukrainian gaming show after the market reopening took place from June 9-11 in Kiev. NOVOMATIC participated as a main sponsor of the event, welcoming visitors with a prominent stand position right at the entrance of the show venue.

The Gaming Industry 2021 was the first major international industry event to take place in Ukraine after the market had been closed since the gambling ban in 2009. With the additional delays caused by COVID-19 during recent months, this gaming show was an eagerly awaited opportunity for the local industry stakeholders and international suppliers to meet and discuss business in person.

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).

The event took place at an ideal point in time, in the midst of the actual opening of the first venues and while many operators are still assembling, selecting and shopping for their initial equipment. During the preceding weeks, a number of

operators have already opened their venues to welcome guests with modern NOVOMATIC gaming equipment in place. Right away, some customers have used to opportunity to place additional orders at the show.

Vitas Janulynas, General Director HTL Ukraine LLC, said: “We have a highly competitive product portfolio for Ukraine, and the results of this exhibition clearly show that the local operators absolutely appreciate it. 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. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in Ukraine and Austria for their support and commitment.”
