The Novomatic-owned German companies are making a strong bid for dominance in the German AWP market.

On top of Löwen’s successes with the Novo-Line multigame upright machine, the recent purchase of the long-established Bergmann company by Novomatic, which turned it into Crown Technologies, has also resulted in a fresh entry into the market.

Crown yesterday held a private showing for operators in Hamburg of its first new AWP machine for Germany, which we understand is another multigame offering and again, is only available on leased terms.
