The Novomatic Group traces its story back in 1980 when it was founded in Austria by Johann Graf. He started out by importing pinball machines. That same year he introduced the first gaming automats manufactured within the company. The company then started expanding to nearby European countries, including Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands and France. About ten years later, it had already established its presence in 30 countries, and in 1995, added the North American gambling license to its wide geography.
The developer’s technology is known as revolutionary. One of the innovations that transformed the world of online gaming was the Coolfire™ Coldfire Risc Processor hardware platforms, as well as the first multiplayer machines.
This manufacturer is also responsible for putting out the TouchBet Live Roulette in 1997 to the mass market, which allowed up to 250 users to play simultaneously. By 2003, Novo TouchBet Roulette, as well as the Novo Multi-Roulette – had over 2000 terminals across the globe.
The corporation’s capital grew rapidly, exceeding 1 billion Euro of annual turnover in 2005, and 2 billion Euro in 2007. It was called Austria’s most dynamic company, and later took first in the Austrian Brand Top 10. In 2010, the firm collected its well-deserved Best Table Game Product of Innovation award for the Novo Unity™ II multiplayer platform.
Today, it has over 20,000 employees and spreads the services to most European countries, including Romania, UK and Macedonia, and across the oceans to Asia, South Africa and both Americas.
