AGI pioneers electronic Roulettes in Belgium

Austrian Gaming Industries GmbH (AGI), part of the Novomatic Group of Companies, is now conquering the Belgium market for electronic Roulette products. Following the passage of the new amendment to Belgium’s gaming law AGI delivers three comprehensive Novo Multi-Roulette™ installations to major Belgian casinos.

The new amendments to the gaming law in Belgium were passed at the beginning of this year, and open up new possibilities for the well regulated casino market and its guests. AGI did not hesitate in having its internationally best selling electronic Roulette product Novo Multi-Roulette™ licensed for the Belgium market.

The first installations are now being delivered to the Grand Casino Brussels (Casinos Austria International), and the Blankenberge and Middelkerke seaside Casinos, both of which are owned by the Rank Group. Each of the three installations consist of 12 slant top player terminals as well as an automated Roulette wheel. All three Roulette installations are powered by the server-based Novo Unity™ multi-player platform and thus offer high usability and maximum flexibility for the operator as well as highest security standards in daily operation and numerous further features such as the controlling tool Management Console.

“Electronic Roulette products have been long-awaited by Belgian casino operators and their arrival is most welcome”, says Marnix Baes, Regional Sales Manager of the local distributor Gaming Support Belgium N.V. “We are very happy that the new regulations now permit us to introduce AGI’s Novo Multi-Roulette™. It is a high quality product that allows casinos to offer their guests modern Roulette entertainment with increased privacy and comfort.” He adds: “I am positive that electronic Roulettes will bring a new dimension of excitement to the Belgian casino market – and with Novo Multi-Roulette™ we offer the world’s most successful product.”

Austrian Gaming Industries GmbH (AGI) - www.novomatic.com - is an integrated global gaming company specializing in the design, development, manufacturing, distribution and sales of electronic gaming machines and advanced technology products, in addition to extensive operational activities encompassing casinos, electronic gaming halls and sports betting outlets.
