NOVOVISION™ was recognized as the top innovative product at GAT Cartagena

On 29 and 30 March, the Las Américas Convention Centre was filled with excitement and novelties during the latest edition of GAT Cartagena. The trade show was attended by more than 100 exhibitors and thousands of attendees.
NOVOMATIC, as a Platinum Sponsor of the event, took the opportunity to present its innovative NOVOVISION™ casino management system, which introduces biometric technologies for the management of gaming operations. This distinctive USB undoubtedly served as an inspiration for operators to delve into the comprehensive range of functionalities of this powerful management tool that far exceed the traditional Accounting, Jackpots, Player Tracking, CASHLESS and TITO transactions. The power and excellence of NOVOVISION™ takes all areas of business to another level. Worldwide, more than 40,000 gaming machines, 3,000 betting terminals and 1,300 ATMs are connected to this sophisticated software, which has been awarded as ‘Best CMS/Software Product’ at the recent European Casino Awards in London. At GAT Cartagena, the response from operators was unanimous in recognising it as the most innovative product at the show.
“Biometrics are among the most attractive and innovative technologies available and with NOVOVISION™ we have succeeded in introducing it to the gaming industry. We are facing a new paradigm that brings with it endless benefits for all industry players,” said Manuel Del Sol, CEO of NOVOMATIC Colombia. “NOVOMATIC is constantly seeking to improve and innovate the sector. NOVOVISION™ is a prime example of this innovative spirit,” he added.
And that was not all. NOVOMATIC also unveiled its new IMPERA LINK™ Series 2 Linked Jackpot. The FUNMASTER was the cabinet chosen to accompany the successor to the successful Series 1 which resulted in one of the most popular pairings when requesting quotes, along with the luxurious DIAMOND™ X 2.32 cabinet featuring the NOVO LINE™ CASH CONNECTION™ Edition 3 Linked Progressive. Another hotspot on the stand was FAZI’s automatic Optimum Roulette. This attractive Roulette island with 8 player positions combines high-quality hardware and a user-friendly interface that provides the player with an exceptional Roulette experience.
Overall, GAT Cartagena was a resounding success for NOVOMATIC and its launch of NOVOVISION™ with biometric technology, a milestone in the Latin American gaming industry. The presence of the key players in the Colombian gaming sector and the opportunity to learn about the latest trends and developments in the market made the show a great space for networking and dialogue within the region’s gaming industry.

SYNOT Games enters the Argentinian iGaming market with Betsson as a trusted partner

SYNOT Games, a leading developer of cutting-edge casino games and solutions, has officially entered the Argentinian iGaming market through a strategic partnership with Betsson, one of the most established and globally recognized operators in the industry.
This collaboration marks SYNOT Games‘ debut in Argentina and signals a significant step in the company’s ongoing expansion across Latin America. By joining forces with Betsson, SYNOT Games reinforces its commitment to working exclusively with trusted partners in regulated markets.
“Entering Argentina with a partner like Betsson is a proud moment for us,” said Martina Krajčí, Chief Commercial Officer at SYNOT Games.
“Latin America is a rapidly growing region in the iGaming space, and Argentina stands out for its dynamism and regulatory maturity. We’re excited to offer our premium portfolio to a new audience and deepen our footprint in LatAm.”
Sarah Micallef, Head of Global Gaming Operations at Betsson Group, also expressed enthusiasm: “We are pleased to welcome SYNOT Games to our portfolio in Argentina. Our focus has always been to offer our players top-tier content in every market we operate. SYNOT’s games meet our high standards for quality and entertainment, and we are confident they will resonate well with our Argentinian audience.”

Buenos Aires, both the city and the province, has become a focal point for major international brands, offering a regulated and competitive market environment that is ideal for industry expansion.
The deal strengthens SYNOT Games‘ positioning in Latin America, aligning with the company’s strategic roadmap of sustainable growth and responsible gaming in fully licensed jurisdictions.

SBC Summit 2025 Adds Latin America & Brazil Track

SBC Summit 2025 introduces a Latin America & Brazil track, further aligning its conference strategy with the global nature of the event, which is set to welcome 30,000 attendees from around the world this September.
The track will form part of the Global Markets stage, which was introduced this year alongside the Emerging Markets stage to spotlight some of the industry’s hottest regions as well as those that deserve early attention from industry stakeholders.
The decision to include a dedicated track builds on the remarkable 126% surge in Latin American attendance in 2024, reinforcing the event’s position as the go-to destination for professionals seeking to engage with and understand this rapidly evolving region.
Held on Tuesday, 16 September at Lisbon’s Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL), the track will deliver five expert-led sessions exploring some of the region’s most pressing issues, from Brazil’s evolving post-regulation landscape to Peru’s tax reforms and Mexico’s regulatory direction.
Delegates will gain exclusive insights from the industry leaders driving growth across Latin America. These experts will share how they’ve built market presence through strategic local partnerships, culturally relevant marketing, and a clear understanding of regulatory complexity, offering essential knowledge for any company looking to succeed in these high-potential markets.
Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, said: “Latin America represents not just one of the most dynamic regions in global gaming, but also one of the most nuanced.
“Our programme gets to the heart of the challenges businesses face in Latin America and Brazil, whether it’s navigating local rules, understanding cultural differences, or keeping pace with shifting tax policies and digital trends. If you want to grow in this region, these sessions offer insights you can’t miss.”
The track will open with the LATAM Leaders: Latin America First – the Home-grown Operators Reinventing the Game, which will unite industry heavyweights Zeno Ossko (CEO, Betwarrior) and Sebastian Salazar (Founder, EstelarBet) as they discuss how regional operators are outmaneuvering international brands by creating locally-tailored innovations that resonate with Latin American audiences.
The Brazil Leaders Panel: The Bubble That Just Won’t Burst – Looking Back at the Launch of Sports Betting will explore Brazil’s post-regulation landscape and why operators must tailor strategies to local contexts. Regional experts Andreas Bardun (CEO, KTO Group), Alex Fonseca (CEO, Superbet Brazil), Almir Silva (CEO – Brazil, BetMGM) and panel moderator Neil Montgomery (Founding Partner, Montgomery Sociedade de Advogados), will discuss how partnerships with local providers and gaming influencers are key to long-term success in Brazil.
The session Peru and the Impact of ISC: All Eyes on the Andes will examine what Peru’s new tax measures will mean for operators in the region. Experts Xabier Maribona (CEO, RETABet Group), Alejandro Rivero (CEO, Estelarbet), Gonzalo Perez (CEO, Apuesta Total), and Gonzalo Rosell (CEO, La Tinka) will tackle the implications of the new Selective Consumption Tax (ISC) and what it could mean for growth, compliance, and the pace of market development.
Another key session centres on the Mexican market. In Mexico: Reaching Market Maturity, or More to Go?, industry leaders George Athanasopoulos (CEO, Novibet), JD Duarte (CEO, Betcris), Ohad Narkis (CEO, PlayUZU), Dr Miguel Angel Ochoa (President, AIEJA), Aviv Sher (CEO, Codere), and Yono Sidi (CEO, Winpot.mx) will examine the country’s stalled regulatory progress and whether an ongoing lack of clarity is creating the conditions for black market activity to thrive.
The track will also feature the panel Casino in Latin America: from Land-Based to Mobile, where regulatory leaders will examine the evolving legislative frameworks driving the region’s digital gaming transition.
Beyond the Latin America and Brazil spotlight on day one, the Global Markets track will also feature in-depth sessions on Western Europe and North America, rounding off this dedicated summit stream.
Complementing this, a separate Emerging Markets stage will focus on key regions including Africa, Eurasia & the Middle East, and Asia, reinforcing SBC’s commitment to providing comprehensive insights into the markets shaping the global gambling landscape.
