Novomatic CEO Harald Neumann has joined the supervisory board of Casinos Austria, it has been announced.

Neumann replaces Maria Teresa Bablik of the MTB Foundation, which formerly held 17 per cent of Casinos Austria, but sold out that stake to Novomatic.

One-third of the Casinos Austria shares are currently held by the Austrian state, just behind the Sazka Group from the Czech Republic.
