The group operates 30 international casinos, among which is Germany’s largest casino, Spielbank Berlin. Novomatic will build two state-of-the-art flagship casinos, one at the Vienna Prater and the other in Bruckan der Leitha in Lower Austria.

Novomatic CEO Franz Wohlfahrt said: “The allocation of these licences now allows us to prove our international casino competencies in our home market, Austria.

“And apart from that it enables us to guarantee the sustained growth at the Novomatic headquarters in Gumpoldskirchen while creating jobs for 500 new employees.”
