Novomatic's operating company in Germany, Extra Games, which is based at Pfullendorf in the Bodensee region in the south-west of the country, is moving into new premises early next year.

The new 3,100sq.m building will completely replace the older headquarters next door, which will be demolished after the transfer.

Extra Games has 75 arcades in Germany and employs 350 people. Novomatic has another arcade operating company in Germany, BPA at Munich, which has a chain of 10 locations.
