Novomatic Slots

 

Have you ever wondered about the top European casino brands? For instance, is there an equivalent of Probability or IGT operating on the Continent?

 

Well, as a matter of fact, the Austria-based company Novomatic has roughly the same reputation as a leading all-around casino supplier (land-based and online) as IGT, which more recently acquired British Probability.

 

It is more than likely that you could see novomatic slots competing with worldwide brands soon enough. You’ll learn more about them below. First, let’s look at some top examples of Novomatic’s game titles.

 

 

Book of Ra is a slot title that has a few years’ legacy in land-based Novomatic equipped casinos, so it is a great choice for players crossing over to online and mobile gameplay. This 5-reel slot is a great choice for beginners, since it has just 9 paylines, plenty of betting flexibility, no side game to learn and it does give free spins.

 

For those who like simple 3-reel ‘fruit machines’, Sizzling Hot’s 5 reels and simple 5 payline format will hold more interest yet keep that classic gameplay. Although we don’t know where the ‘sizzling’ comes in with fruit and number symbols, this is clean slot for purists and beginners.

 

Beetle Mania is a 5-reel slot with 10 paylines that is not based upon the world-famous British rock band. But, it takes the metaphor literally by showing animated insects (the Bee wild symbol, for instance). This one features a bonus round, and free spins, but its low variance makes it a good slot for entertainment rather than huge jackpots.

 

Yet another Egyptian-themed slot title from Novomatic, and this one is so popular it has three versions. If you like an online slot that gives you the impression of playing at a land-based console game, this 5-reeler, covered by gold leaf, is your ticket to Egypt!

 

Since Novomatic is a powerhouse casino company that covers all the bases from brick-and-mortar casino venues, to physical slot cabinets (it calls its console games ‘Gaminator’ machines), to online and mobile games, there is a lot of cross-branding with its products. 

 

So, many of the slot titles you may have seen at Novomatic casino hotels featuring gaminator slots can be played at online casinos using your smartphone or tablet instead!

 

 

Just like its leading British, American and Swedish competitors in the casino gaming marketplace, you can find novomatic slots free play options through sites’ promotions or demo modes. See below for examples of these opportunities from top Novomatic-powered casinos.

 

 

We would say that there are two main differences between Novomatic games (developed in Austria) and NetEnt games (developed in Sweden):

 

1. Novomatic relies more on land-based casino experiences with its classic themes — whereas NetEnt is a master of games based upon movies and TV using animation from the online world instead.

 

2. Novomatic tends to offer simpler gameplay, fewer reels and paylines, with recognisable themes — yet NetEnt innovates with unusual reel behaviors, complex side-games, loads of paylines and weirder themes.

 

 

Lastly, we leave you with glimpses of a couple very good online casinos that feature the Novomatic brand of slots. If the qualities of this game supplier appeal to you, then start your adventure at these fine sites:

 

 

Just like the Novomatic Group, Grosvenor Casinos are a famous land-based brand of venues in the UK. Fittingly, its online wing offers a huge selection of internationally sourced games and a nice £20 cash no-deposit welcome bonus. Grosvenor is a great choice for players who fancy real casinos as well as online gaming.

 

 

Sky Vegas offers a multiple supplier gaming portfolio, apps for Android and Apple mobiles and a £10 sign up bonus. You can score up £1000 at a big 200% match as a new member. If you like the look-and-feel of Virgin Casino, and you especially like live dealer games, then SkyVegas will suite you well.

 

 

You have probably gathered that the novomatic slots online experience is closely patterned upon real in-person casinos. 

 

So, while we can assure you the games are competitive with global casino names you already know, we would steer purists towards this brand more than those who are newcomers or players who like games with deeper roots on the Web.
