Novomatic has filed a lawsuit with the Berlin District Court against Euro Game Technology, headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria, as well as its German sales partner D-Systems.

Novomatic has filed an action for discontinuance of the further sale of certain slot games offered by Euro Game Technology and is demanding compensation for damages.

The lawsuit is based on the fact that, in Novomatic’s view, several games offered by Euro Game Technology “systematically and unfairly use essential elements (including the reel strips) of well-established Novomatic games.” Similar legal actions are currently being prepared in other countries.
