Novomatic has taken a majority stake in the Spanish video bingo machine manufacturer Otium Gaming Industries.

Novomatic’s stake in Otium

The 60 per cent stake in the company, which is based in Barcelona, will instantly give Novomatic a leading video bingo slot product and support for the Mexican market in particular.

Novomatic now plans to take Otium products to the G2E show in Las Vegas next week.

Lawrence Levy, senior vice-president for Central and South America for Novomatic, hailed the purchase as “the group’s opportunity to broaden its product offer in the region.”
