US – Novomatic to install Novo TouchBet at Foxwoods
By Phil - 9 October 2017
Novomatic is to install over 54 dealer-assisted electronic table games (ETGs) at Foxwoods resort casino in Connecticut during the fourth quarter of this year.
Novomatic Americas, the US subsidiary of the Novomatic Group, has signed a multi-year agreement with North America’s largest casino resort that will bring Novomatic’s dealer-assisted Electronic Table Game product lines to the Northeast’s premier resort destination. With this multi-year agreement, Foxwoods and Novomatic are dedicated to creating and adapting entertainment concepts to offer the ultimate personalised ETG experience.
The initial installation features a combination of 30 electronic gaming terminals in an inviting layout where live dealers drive the play of Novo TouchBet Live-Baccarat and Novo TouchBet Live-Black Jack – with multi-table selection on demand. Huge screens, dramatic lighting and personal player stations containing charging ports, bag hooks and dedicated beverage holders complete this unique offering. A second installation of 24 units will follow.
Rick Meitzler, President and CEO of Novomatic Americas, said: “The entire team at Novomatic Americas is proud to be a part of this exciting entertainment concept. Novo Line Novo Unity II has proved to be a world-leading ETG platform in its class, providing a flexible, secure and robust system to create incredible player excitement. Our ETG system is easily configurable and expands as player demand increases. Over the past several months our teams have worked together on new game concepts, design, development and the necessary approvals.”
The relationship allows Novomatic and Foxwoods to continue collaboratively expanding their product offerings from slots and the successful Foxwoods Online Casino, powered by Greentube Pro, to an extended Electronic Table Games experience on the casino floor.
Wayne Theiss, SVP of Table Games for Foxwoods, said: “We are constantly looking for creative and interesting ways to entertain our players. The Novomatic Americas team are great partners because they understand operations. They are operators and innovators. They listen and will deliver a mix of new products offering a range of entertaining, player-friendly electronic table gaming choices.”
