Best Novomatic Slots & Casinos

Novomatic is an international gambling company and one of the largest gaming technology corporations in the world.

Initially specialising in physical gaming machines, founder Johann Graf released his first gaming machine in 1980, called the Admiral. A year later, the company expanded to several European countries including Germany, France and Switzerland.

The nineties was a notable decade for the company and in 1990, Novomatic launched its hugely popular American Poker II video poker game which quickly became known as ‘The Legend’.

The company also expanded into over 30 more territories to keep up with the demand for its products and became one of the first studios to introduce touch screens into its casino machines.

Novomatic acquired Greentube Internet Entertainment Solutions GmbH in 2011, a company experienced in developing and distributing online and mobile slot games. 

All Novomatic slot games run on the following platforms:

• Novo Line™ Interactive
• Octa Games
• Cool Fire II-s
• Impera Line™ HD
• Novo Line™ Novo Unity II

Novomatic currently employs over 30,000 people in 50 countries. The company generated approximately €2.5 billion in revenue in 2017.

Design and features

Novomatic slot games are all designed on a standard playboard and use 10 - K symbols alongside those tightly linked to individual game themes.

Winning paylines and patterns vary between games and are clearly displayed at the side for players. All of the action buttons can typically be found at the bottom of the screen, including the menu, wager options, autoplay and spin button.

The general design of Novomatic slot titles isn’t remarkable – in fact, many of the older games are outdated and quite basic when compared to competitors like Thunderkick and NetEnt who are using the latest 3D render graphics and HTML5 technology.

However, in recent years Novomatic has been actively integrating its games portfolio onto HTML5 software and improved the illustrations and graphics on existing games like Book of Ra.

Many of Novomatic’s slot games contain a ‘gamble’ feature that allows you to double your winnings by correctly guessing whether the next card will be black or red.

Mobile experience

Novomatic worked to ensure it’s slot portfolio is also available on mobile and tablet and we’re impressed with the results.

You can play Novomatic slot games in portrait mode, but we recommend turning your phone horizontally and playing full-screen as the action buttons are simplified so it’s easy to set up your bespoke wager.

Our verdict

Overall, Novomatic is a trustworthy brand. Its games are solid with some unique features such as it’s gamble bonus, and we’ve enjoyed seeing the improvements made to the quality and technology of the range in recent years.

We’d like to see Novomatic increase its portfolio to reintroduce live dealer games in the future and we’re also excited to witness continued improvements to gameplay and aesthetics.

Novomatic has a great range of slot games, however the exclusivity makes it difficult to recommend because they aren’t as widely available as alternatives such as NetEnt and Microgaming.
