Mexico – Crown Gaming hosts Novomatic World

By Phil - 17 August 2015

Crown Gaming Mexico, the local subsidiary of the Novomatic Group, created a new milestone in the country’s demand for gaming excellence through the presentation of the unique Panther Roulette II at the Casino Abu Dhabi in Apodaca, near Monterrey in the Nuevo León state.

The presentation, held on July 24 and widely pre-publicised through television advertising and social media channels, was called Novomatic World and aimed to bring a whole new ‘World of Gaming’ to Mexico’s vibrant casino culture. Panther Roulette II was the star of the show and is a gaming innovation that, without doubt, captures the imagination.

This is the successor to the Pinball Roulette that has already proven extremely popular, across Latin American markets. The Panther Roulette II plays exactly to the defined rules of Roulette. The innovative single player Roulette is activated by the player using a traditional pinball launching mechanism to deploy the ball into the Roulette wheel or, alternatively, a Start button on the right hand side of the hand rest.

Panther Roulette II’s key attraction factor is its enhanced player interaction with the game, as, with the manual ball launch, the guest can be both player and croupier at the same time. Panther Roulette II features a second 32“ full HD screen in a vertical position on top of the machine with Flipscreen feature and, as well as Roulette, also comes with a comprehensive multi-game offering of 23 HD video slot games.

While Panther Roulette II certainly proved itself as a big draw at the Novomatic World event it was not at all the only new feature released at the gathering. The new Novoline platform’s games and both the Dominator cabinet and the exceptional gaming entertainment experience provided by the Novostar V.I.P. were also big hits with the evening’s many attendees.

Thomas Borgstedt, Crown Gaming Mexico’s General Manager, praised what had been a hugely successful event: “This event would have been impossible without the support of our very important customer, Abu Dhabi Casino and its General Manager Mr. Misael Urzua. We wish to thank him enormously for his help in highlighting these latest amazing Novomatic products from Crown Gaming Mexico.”

“Our Novomatic World event has proved to be a big success,” said Judith Barrientos, Crown Gaming Mexico’s Commercial Manager. “The intensive marketing campaign that we undertook built excitement and anticipation ahead of the event and the entire team here at Casino Abu Dhabi turned it into an amazing reality. We are absolutely delighted at the reactions that our new product attractions have received from the many guests that attended.”
