Through the new partnership with the Austrian gaming giant, GiGames and Conei Group are now “confident of ensuring continued growth” as manufacturers and distributors of gaming equipment, while also expanding their product offerings.

Announcing the deal, Novomatic said: “The Novomatic management is convinced that the longstanding experience of GiGames and the Conei Group, as a local and successful manufacturer and operator, will greatly help the company to consolidate and further enhance its future market position in the Spanish gaming sector, clearly acknowledged to be one of the most important gaming markets in Europe.”

This latest news follows Novomatic’s acquisition of Elam Group, the Dutch gaming equipment developer and distributor, last month.
