All slots have been retrofitted with new Novovision Player Terminal Modules
Following the takeover of the ten locations in Lower Saxony, Germany, the Merkur Group is continuing to push ahead with the modernisation of the venues to establish a high-performance, future-oriented system landscape with the successful installation of a new cashless gaming solution at the Merkur Casino Wolfsburg.
The East Westphalian group of companies has opted for a combination of the group’s own casino software StepPlay and Novovision – a casino management system from Novomatic.
The Merkur Spielbank Wolfsburg is now operating with both a stylish ambience and its modern equipment: The offer includes around 100 casino machines, consisting of a wide range of machines, multi-roulette and jackpot systems as well as gaming highlights from the extensive portfolios of Merkur, Novomatic and other providers. This is where the Novovision system has now been connected to StepPlay’s software infrastructure for the first time and the solution has been jointly implemented in game operation. All slot machines at the Wolfsburg site have been retrofitted with new Novovision Player Terminal Modules (PTM) and integrated into the Novovision CMS together with the jackpots. The central device and jackpot management, the cashless cash handling at the machines and the ongoing accounting of gaming revenues in real time are now connected to the StepPlay modules via standardised interfaces and thus ensure modern, centrally networked gaming operations. The jointly developed processes are ideally adapted to the tight regulatory framework of the German casino market and are designed for the future.
The entire implementation – from installation to system connection to commissioning – was successfully carried out within just three days. Building on this success, the solution is to be successively expanded to all other locations of Merkur Spielbanken Niedersachsen in the course of the year. At the end of the overall project, around 1,200 slot machines in ten casinos will be integrated into the new system architecture.
Jens Einhaus, Head of Sales & Product Marketing NBS/Novomatic AG, is satisfied: “With the successful coupling of Novovision and StepPlay, we have implemented a state-of-the-art system solution that simplifies day-to-day business processes in the long term and at the same time meets the highest regulatory requirements. The smooth implementation in Wolfsburg underlines the performance of the architecture, which serves as the technological basis for a future-proof, centrally networked casino infrastructure in Lower Saxony.”
David Schnabel, CEO Merkur Casinos of the Merkur Group, is also enthusiastic: “The renewal of the systems in the casinos in Lower Saxony was a central promise in the previous tender process. With the successful introduction of this cashless gaming solution, we are providing an important impetus for the future-proof realignment of our locations in Lower Saxony. We are pleased to have taken this step together with Novomatic and to be able to offer our guests an even more comfortable and secure gaming experience.”
