NOVOMATIC to Showcase Latest Products at Peru Gaming Show
NOVOMATIC has confirmed its attendance at the upcoming Peru Gaming Show (PGS) 2023 event, set to take place on June 14-15 at the Jockey Exposition Center in Lima. At stand #53, the company will showcase its latest highlights for the region.
Operators from the region can look forward to the most recent NOVOMATIC cabinet highlights such as the BLACK EDITION II XL 3.32. Recently launched at ICE in London, this new cabinet is an apt successor of the original BLACK EDITION with a setup of three characteristically angled 32” screens, top ergonomics and a stunning XL appearance on the floor. At the PGS, it will be presented with the NOVO LINE CASH CONNECTION Edition 4, comprising 20 linked games, among them the stunning Candelas de los Muertos titles.
Another cabinet highlight on display in Lima will be the DIAMOND X 3.32 presenting the NOVO LINE Interactive Edition X3. This exciting achievement in cabinet design came in second at the recent Global Gaming Awards in London in the category “Product Launch of the Year” and has made a top impact in terms of customer interest and performance right from the start. Also the best-selling PANTHERA Curve 1.43 will be shown with the NOVO LINE Interactive Concurve Edition 6 multi-game compendium and its fine choice of upright games.
Electronic Table Games will be represented by the OPTIMUM ROULETTE from FAZI: This automated multiplayer Roulette with eight player positions is a premium ETG solution that Peru’s venues should not miss. NOVOMATIC sports betting kiosks continue to be in great demand. In Peru, the multi-screen version NOVOMATIC ActionBook Plus will be on display. Together with the table-top version NOVOMATIC ActionBook Compact, both deliver the perfect kiosk hardware solutions for all kinds of space and positioning requirements.
A special premiere at PGS will be the presentation of the innovative NOVOVISION casino management system. This powerful solution takes all areas of a casino business to another level, with a uniquely comprehensive range of functionalities that far exceed the traditional Accounting, Jackpots, Player Tracking, CASHLESS and TITO transactions. As a distinctive USP, NOVOVISION introduces biometric technologies for the management of gaming operations, e.g. for player recognition and access. Worldwide, more than 40,000 gaming machines, 3000 betting terminals and 1300 ATMs are connected to this sophisticated software, which has been awarded as “Best CMS/Software Product” at the recent European Casino Awards in London.
Katty López, Sales Director of Crown Gaming Peru, characterizes the NOVOMATIC portfolio for this year’s PGS as a comprehensive collection of must-have products. She says: “It comes at the perfect point in time, with the current upswing in Peruvian market and all the development in the online and betting segments across the region’s markets. We are very excited to be able to show our customers our varied 360° portfolio of solutions that cater to the requirements they are going to have.”
Max Bauer, NOVOMATIC Vice President LATAM & Caribbean, says: “NOVOMATIC’s capabilities far transcend the products currently marketed in Latin America, and that is what we want to make known at PGS. The present and the future will merge on our stand to host our customers’ actual needs as well as to nurture their visions for upcoming projects, thus seeking to broaden the industry’s perspective through novel solutions in the region.”

Kambi Group plc signs Turnkey Sportsbook partnership with Latin American operator RedCap
New agreement will see Kambi initially power the operator’s online Betpro and Starplay brands in El Salvador and Panama, with plans for retail and additional markets in the future
Kambi Group plc, the home of premium sports betting solutions, has agreed a long-term, omni-channel sportsbook partnership with Latin American operator RedCap, further strengthening Kambi’s position as the sportsbook provider of choice in the region.
Under the terms of the agreement, RedCap’s Betpro and Starplay brands will integrate Kambi’s high-performance Turnkey Sportsbook into its proprietary player account management (PAM) platform, enabling a seamless sports betting experience. The operator will replace its current supplier with Kambi’s powerful end-to-end sports betting solution, trusted by market leaders across Latin America and beyond.
The initial rollout will see Betpro and Starplay launch Kambi’s technology across its online sportsbooks in El Salvador and Panama, with the agreement also including scope for retail provision and market expansion. Operating under a multi-brand strategy led by its flagship Betpro brand, the operator aims to leverage the strengths of Kambi’s sportsbook with its in-house technical capability and experienced industry leadership team to achieve success in each market.
Werner Becher, CEO of Kambi, said: “This partnership marks an important next step in Kambi’s Latin American growth strategy. By selecting Kambi to replace their existing provider, RedCap has shown clear confidence in our market-leading technology and ability to support scalable growth. We are excited to help them bring best-in-class sports betting experiences to players across the region.”
Oscar Henao, CEO of RedCap, added: “We are thrilled to join forces with Kambi. This agreement gives us the product and flexibility we need to compete at the highest level, offering our customers premium betting experience across all channels. With Kambi’s support, we look forward to launching in Panama and El Salvador and expanding into new markets as we execute our multi-brand strategy.”
Chicago City Council members are reviving plans to legalize video gambling in the city, introducing two ordinances that could bring hundreds of terminals to O’Hare and Midway airports and allow machines citywide for the first time.
One ordinance, introduced by Alderman Gilbert Villegas (36th), targets the city’s airports, where he sees both political feasibility and high revenue potential.
“The General Assembly has provided this opportunity through the casino bill. Yet, we’re not taking advantage of capturing dollars from one of the busiest airports in the country,” Villegas said.
“People are there, in some cases, one or two hours before. If their flight is delayed or they’re making a connection and there is a delay, there’s an opportunity to capture an audience that may not even be going to the city.”
Villegas’ proposal includes a $10,000 license fee per location, plus $500 per terminal. A separate terminal license would cost $1000, with an additional $500 per unit. If 400 machines each generated $800 daily, Villegas estimates annual revenue could reach $116.8 million, with the city taking a share through licensing and taxes.
Alderman Anthony Beale (9th) is pushing for a broader citywide expansion. His ordinance would legalize video gambling throughout Chicago, including in neighborhood bars and restaurants.
“We need to do it citywide and at the airports. We need the revenue and this administration has not shown a willingness to find new revenue that’s not gonna hit the taxpayers in every household,” Beale said.
Beale’s ordinance proposes a $500 license fee per location and a $1000-per-terminal charge for both the site and the machine itself. He has criticized the administration for dismissing the potential benefits, arguing that the current tax formula could be renegotiated with state lawmakers.
“That’s because they haven’t shown the willingness to go down to Springfield and change the formula. I’m hoping that submitting these ordinances will finally convince them to send a team down there,” he said.
