Austrian Gaming Industries GmbH (AGI), the wholly owned subsidiary of Novomatic Group of
Companies, congratulates Casino Lisboa on its grand opening and says thank you for the large order of machines.
When the new Casino Lisboa opened its doors on April 19th 2006 at Lisbon Nations Park, it presented a fascinating combination of entertainment, leisure and culture to its
guests. In addition to state-of-the-art gaming entertainment on a large gaming floor
with a great variety of slot machines and gaming tables, the new casino offers culinary
delights in three restaurants and four bars as well as daily performances of music,
theatre and dancing shows.
The leading producer of high-tech gaming equipment, AGI, is represented with its multi-
player systems Novo Flying Roulette™ and Novo Multi-Roulette™, which feature a total
number of 26 individual touch screen terminals. Casino Lisboa’s gaming floor also
includes 45 of the best-selling upright Gaminator® cabinets and 9 cabinets featuring the
single-player Roulette game Grand Roulette. Casino Lisboa ordered the Gaminator®
machines with AGI’s latest games such as Oliver´s Bar™, First Class Traveller™, Diamond
Trio™, Banana Splash™ or Gryphon´s Gold™ all of which can be played in Portuguese
language – just one of the reasons for their outstanding popularity among the casino
guests.
Summarizing the first month Carlos Campos, responsible for the layout of the gaming
floor and the purchase of machines for Casino Lisboa, is very content with his
decision: “In the short period of time since the opening, the performance of the
Novomatic machines has been as expected, that is, the success of the multi-player
systems hasn’t been a surprise for me. In my opinion the Novomatic products are at the
moment the only products that guarantee a high level of technical and revenue
performance in the Portuguese market. Concerning the video reels’ product performance
our expectations have already been exceeded in the first days.”
The multi-player system Novo Flying Roulette™ is a virtual replication of a live
Roulette game featuring the same betting options as a classic live Roulette game in a
single-zero and/or double-zero configuration, played on individual touch screen
terminals. The spinning of the wheel is simulated in a virtual 3-D environment and
displayed on a giant plasma screen. The Novo Multi-Roulette™, in contrast, consists of a
real fully automated electro-mechanical Roulette wheel secured in an enclosed case in
combination with electronic player terminals with touch screen displays. Optionally the
wheel action can also be displayed ”live” on a large 61”-screen via a camera that is
focussed on the Roulette wheel.
The Portuguese market is a very modern one, featuring some of Europe’s largest casinos
like e.g. Casino Estoril, and AGI has been very successful in this market and
established its position as a major player – AGI’s machines are to be found in every
Portuguese casino. As a pure casino market, a large number of machines in Portugal are
already equipped with Ticket In-Ticket Out (TITO) facility, and casino operators are
further enhancing TITO installations making Portugal one of the most influential markets
for this technology.
“The modern casino structure in Portugal with its high demand for state-of-the-art
gaming equipment plays very much to our product technology as it taps the full potential
of our portfolio”, says Jens Halle, Managing Director AGI. “We are very pleased with the
positive response to our products at the new Casino Lisboa and convinced that our games
and multi-player systems will guarantee both maximum entertainment for players and
continued outstanding performance and profitability for the operator. We would like to
say thank you for the large order of machines and wish the Casino Lisboa prosperity and
success for the future.”
