Austria’s Novomatic Group continues on the acquisition trail with its latest buyout in the Dutch gaming and entertainment market. Novomatic’s wholly owned subsidiary, Novo Gaming Netherlands, has acquired 100 per cent of the shares of Eurocoin Gaming and AWP-design.nl.
Eurocoin Gaming is the single source in Holland for Bell-Fruit video and reel based gaming machines and the clear leader in the single site market. Through this recent acquisition, Novomatic plans to further strengthen its foothold in the Dutch market and at the same time to offer its valued customers more product diversity from its renowned brands JvH, Errel, Eurocoin, Bell-Fruit, Astra and Novomatic.
Paul Strikers, Managing Director of Eurocoin Gaming, comments: “We are happy and proud to further support Dutch operators with the famous Bell-Fruit product. Together with Novomatic we expect to provide premium quality service and state-of-the-art products and innovations to the Dutch gaming market. As such we will make sure our customers get access to best-of-breed Group game content across all distribution channels. Our new team will ensure that Dutch operators will discover new sources of revenue via new and innovative products which will open up new revenue streams and at the same time significantly grow the current customer base.”
Thomas Graf, CTO of Novomatic, commented: “Eurocoin is the leading force in the Dutch gaming supply chain with a market share of up to 80 percent in the pub market and a growing presence in the arcade sector. Eurocoin Gaming shares our ambitions; a continuous drive for innovations and being the best in our areas of business. Furthermore, Eurocoin Gaming has a huge historical library of successful games that will also be made available to the future online gaming market in the Netherlands once it becomes fully regulated.”
