The British BACTA bikers recently visited the Novomatic headquarters in Gumpoldskirchen, Austria, to accept a donation for the Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity.
The bikers, who ride through Europe collecting money for charity, are a group of motorcyclists from BACTA, an association that represents the amusement industry in Great Britain and serves the interests of over 500 companies and over 1,000 individuals.
Stefan Krenn, general secretary of Novomatic, welcomed the seven bikers in Gumpoldskirchen and handed over a cheque for €5,000. Following the cheque presentation, the bikers were taken on a guided tour of the company’s headquarters. Within their current European tour, the bikers will also visit subsidiaries Novo Gaming Netherlands and Novomatic UK, which will both also donate €2,500 to the BACTA charitable fund.
Krenn said: “Great Britain is a market of the future that offers immense opportunities and is one of our core markets, where we employ almost 3,000 staff. We are committed to return part of our success to society. Therefore, we appreciate the dedication of the charity bikers, who have been organising these tours since the early 1990s to contribute to charity and society.”
