Press Release January 3, 2007

Novomatic Group of Companies starts innovation offensive with its new Coolfire™ II platform and spectacular multi-player products at ICE 2007

Novomatic’s wholly owned subsidiary, Austrian Gaming Industries GmbH (AGI), is changing perspectives at this year’s ICE with a number of compelling developments, including the next step in the evolution of its superior cabinet range, the enhanced Coolfire™ II platform and its multi-player innovations made in Austria.

Crowned by a total number of 11 brand new Coolfire™ II games, AGI’s attendance at this year’s ICE will once more influence the entire gaming industry. The new releases are absolute gaming highlights – e.g. the conquering Hannibal of Carthago™ is a 20-line 5-reel video game that allows players to be part of the historical quest and experience the thrill and excitement of Hannibal’s fantastic journey; the magnificent Cities of Gold™ unbolts the gates to the riches of the Inca with 20 lines and 5 reels; and the twilight Chicago™ is a 20-line 5-reel video game which transports players to the middle of a 1930’s prohibition scenery with gangster raids and police shootouts. Furthermore a new sophisticated version of the highly successful Multi-Gaminator® will be on show, plus a selection of recent game releases.

Electronic live-games in perfection! Besides a Novo Multi-Table™ Roulette installation consisting of the internationally well-known Novo TouchBet® Live-Roulette and Novo Multi-Roulette™, two thrilling live-game innovations will again make the Novomatic booth the most important checkpoint for every ICE visitor. Novo TouchBet® live-game versions of SicBo and Baccarat running on the server-based Novo Unity™ multi-player platform will certainly be two of the show’s highlights.

AGI’s representatives are looking forward to welcoming visitors, partners and customers on the freshly styled Novomatic booth n° 3030.
