First Novomatic’s Novo Flying Baccarat installed at Casino Barcelona

Since 2007 the leading Spanish hotel, resort and casino group, Grup Peralada, is a major customer of Novomatic Gaming Spain. The group’s flagship operation in Barcelona, Casino Barcelona, is the largest casino in the Spanish market, and a leading operation in terms of state-of-the-art gaming equipment, excellent service and top-notch entertainment.

The casino was the first in Spain to implement and operate the Novo Multi-Roulette. This fully automated Roulette system was an instant success and became so popular with guests that the casino decided to order a second Novo Multi-Roulette implementation mid 2008 as well as Spain’s first Novo TouchBet Live-Roulette in 2009.

Now, in August 2010, Casino Barcelona surprises its guests once again with a new Novo Flying Baccarat which is based on the server-based Novo Unity multiplayer platform. Especially for its Asian patrons, Casino Barcelona furnished a unique room, with exquisite, authentic Chinese decoration, providing the perfect setting for the new electronic Baccarat game. The layout of the Novomatic Baccarat has been completely developed in Chinese style in order to ideally meet the taste and preferences particularly of the guests from the Far East where this elegant card game is among the most popular of casino offerings. With Novomatic’s Baccarat, guests are sure to get more of a thrill by the addition of its various side bets which can be easily activated or disabled by the operator on demand.

The fully animated Novo Flying Baccarat at Casino Barcelona comprises eight Novo-Vision Slant Top II terminals and two giant plasma displays which provide maximum information to its guests. The electronic Baccarat offers individual language selection options on each terminal with broad choice of international languages including Chinese.

Excellent cooperation from staff at Casino Barcelona with the technical support team of Novomatic Gaming Spain, helped facilitate the Novo Flying Baccarat installation and implementation within just half a day, so that by 3pm opening time, guests could already embrace this new, sensational entertainment offering. Also, the time schedule for its installation implied close cooperation and coordination of staff holidays with Casino Barcelona so that delivery could take place in time for the casino’s peak-season summer months.

Novomatic’s gaming equipment is not only very popular with the guests of Casino Barcelona, but management too is highly satisfied with the excellent customer support it receives from Novomatic Gaming Spain. The flagship casino in Barcelona now operates a total of 87 AGI machines: A total of 68 individual player stations are available for two automated Novo Multi-Roulette (2x 24 terminals), one Novo TouchBet Live-Roulette (12 terminals) and the recently installed Novo Flying Baccarat (8 terminals). Furthermore six Coolfire II Super-V+Gaminator, nine Coolfire I Multi-Gaminator multi-game machines as well as four Bingo+ machines provide a comprehensive offering of top games on the casino slot floor.

Sales Director Novomatic Gaming Spain, Jordi Pedragosa, adds: “It is great to see the excellent performance of our multiplayer products at Casino Barcelona. Based on their popularity with the guests, casino management has repeatedly decided to pioneer the Spanish market with electronic gaming novelties and in so doing continued to further extend its offering of Novomatic gaming equipment throughout the years. Our business relationship with Casino Barcelona is excellent and we are confident that we will be able to offer innovative and profitable gaming solutions as well as the very best product advice to our customer. I would like to use this opportunity to say, ‘Thank You’ to Casino Barcelona for their trust and confidence in us over the years.”
