Novomatic

What Novomatic does

NOVOMATIC AG is an Austrian-headquartered, privately held gaming technology conglomerate founded in 1980 by Professor Johann F. Graf, with FY2025 revenue of approximately EUR 3.6 billion and a global workforce of approximately 26,000 employees across roughly 50 countries and 83 documented locations. The company operates across the full gaming value chain as a producer, operator, and technology partner: it designs and manufactures gaming hardware (slot cabinets including VIP X, DIAMOND X, BLACK EDITION II, PANTHERA, and electronic table cabinets such as LOTUS SL), develops gaming platforms (Coolfire, Novo Line, Impera Line, Global Game Art, GAMINATOR), and licenses content including long-running franchises such as Book of Ra, Lucky Lady's Charm, Dolphin's Pearl, and Sizzling Hot. Its central software asset is NOVOVISION, a modular casino management system with biometric access control, cash management, player tracking, digital wallet, and tournament modules, deployed across 35,000+ gaming devices, 3,000+ sports betting terminals, and 1,300+ cash terminals globally.

The company monetizes through multiple streams: (1) hardware and equipment sales to casino operators and lottery organizations, (2) licensing of gaming content and platforms, (3) recurring CMS and technology service revenue via NOVOVISION and Greentube (the iGaming subsidiary acquired in 2010), and (4) operations of approximately 2,000 gaming venues and sports betting outlets under the ADMIRAL brand and other regional brands (LÖWEN, Greentube, Ainsworth). Long-term government partnerships, such as the Romanian State Lottery (10,000 VLTs since 2013) and the University of Iceland lottery platform (tendered in 2025/2026), anchor a portion of recurring revenue. The business model is B2B enterprise sales to regulated gaming operators and state lotteries, with direct enterprise field sales teams, regional subsidiary networks, and a presence at major industry trade shows (ICE Barcelona, G2E Las Vegas, G2E Asia).

Operationally, NOVOMATIC runs its own manufacturing in Austria, Germany, Spain, and Hungary, with regional operations in the UK, Italy, Netherlands, USA, Australia, Argentina, Peru, South Africa, and elsewhere. The company maintains a defensive posture through heavy regulatory compliance (G4 player protection certification across 19 group companies covering 68% of group revenue, UK Gambling Commission license 45352, ISO 20671 Certified Brand designation as the first gaming technology company globally to achieve it) and a sizable intangible asset base of approximately 5,000 IP rights. Recent structural moves include the 2025 divestiture of ADMIRAL Austria to Tipico, the 2025 acquisition of Vikings Casinos Group in France, and a 2025 Scheme of Arrangement to acquire the remaining minority stake in Ainsworth Game Technology, indicating active portfolio rebalancing toward international growth markets and Asia-Pacific.
