Casino Estoril Installs NOVOVISION CMS
Casino Estoril has installed the NOVOVISION casino management system as the new futureproof backbone for its business and taking both customer service and experience to the max.
Casino Estoril is renowned for its illustrious history and spectacular size, encompassing not only a broadly diversified casino slots and table games offer, but also five bars, three restaurants, two show venues hosting international show acts and a spacious art gallery. The games comprise more than 490 slot machines as well as Poker, Roulette, Black Jack, Baccarat and the typically Portuguese dice game French Bank. It is a casino with a rich history, deeply rooted in the international entertainment and show business and popular with local guests and tourists alike.
NOVOVISION was implemented at the Casino Estoril with a premium suite of functionalities, enhancing the business processes as well as the player journey with the manifold tools of NV core, access, pay, promo, smart, tables and more. Brand-new NOVOVISION Self-Registration Terminals facilitate fast player access to the gaming floor while maintaining the highest security standards. To enter the casino floors, players can choose to either agree to a biometric registration via fingerprint / facial scan with card or will receive a one-off QR code ticket that entitles them to pass the NV access gates. Most of the live tables have been retrofitted with facial recognition equipment and all EGMs have been equipped with NOVOVISION Player Tracking Modules that will facilitate a smooth gaming experience with the guests’ player account instantly available to them at their fingertips. The maximum ease of play is sustained by an accurate allocation of promotional points and extra loyalty features at the NOVOVISION Promo Tower. At the same time, the casino benefits from precise accounting and player tracking data at the touch of a button and in real time.
George Paterakis, Project Manager NBS, said: “Seeing NOVOVISION in operation in these renowned casinos is very gratifying for our entire team. The joint effort that was put into this project both by our development teams and the experts at Estoril Sol has yielded a highly customized solution for the unique requirements of these operations – and I am truly proud to say that we were able to fulfill every wish. My sincere thanks go to all teams involved, to our trusted local partner Diverstock and to the Estoril Sol management for entrusting us with the innovation of their casino management.”
Marcos Pinto, Managing Director Diverstock, said: “On behalf of the Diverstock team, I would like to thank all involved for the excellent work and support along the entire process. It was admirable to see the synchronized way in which the different teams, from different entities, have managed to work together and carried out an implementation plan in half the scheduled time. Witnessing at close quarters the quality of the work carried out by all the teams involved was extremely gratifying. Special thanks to Dr Bruno Ferreira and the Executive Committee of Estoril Sol for giving us the opportunity to be part of an ambitious but necessary process of modernizing their operations.”
Dr Bruno Ferreira, Gaming Manager/Coordinator Casinos Lisboa and Estoril, said: “With this implementation Estoril Sol completes the systems migration in both properties. System-wise we have a robust solution and will be able to transform our customers’ journey and experience. The migration process was once again quick and efficient. I would like to thank NOVOMATIC’s management team for their support throughout the process, and their entire operational team involved in this implementation. I also need to thank Diverstock, Estoril Sol’s long-standing partner, for their commitment and support throughout the process. Once again Estoril Sol team was up to the challenge and exceeded themselves. Together they were all crucial to the success of this implementation.”

Sofascore Player of the Season Award Show Premieres on CBS
This summer in Zadar, sporting legends and top broadcasters came together for the first-ever Sofascore Player of the Season Award Show, filmed during the Sunset Sports Festival. Now, the show has reached millions as it premiered on CBS, bringing together football stories and data-supported awards.
The show celebrated Europe’s top performers from the Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and many more leagues across the world, all chosen just through Sofascore’s objective performance ratings. No votes, no popularity contests. Mohamed Salah topped the Premier League with a 7.78 rating, Raphinha led LaLiga with 7.80, Mattia Zaccagni claimed Serie A’s best with 7.34, Joshua Kimmich was Bundesliga’s highest rated player with 7.91, and Achraf Hakimi shined in Ligue 1 with 7.76. Beyond this, the awards also celebrated the highest-rated player in the UEFA Champions League, the top leagues in women’s football, and many more standout performers from around the globe.
Hosted by Kate Scott and Peter Schmeichel, and directed by Emmy Award-winner Pete Radovich, the event featured exclusive insights from football greats and top analysts including Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards, and Alessandro Del Piero. Raphinha shared his pride as both LaLiga and Champions League’s top-rated player, while Luka Modrić made history by receiving Sofascore’s first-ever Founders’ Legend Award. In the audience, big names like Dimitar Berbatov, Stipe Miočić, and Šime Vrsaljko added extra prestige to the celebration.
The Player of the Season celebration extended beyond the TV broadcast, with massive billboards in London, Liverpool, Barcelona, Munich, Rome, Frankfurt, Lyon, Metz, and other European cities, showcasing Sofascore’s award winners. From Raphinha and Alexia Putellas in Barcelona to Mohamed Salah in Liverpool and Joshua Kimmich in Munich, fans across Europe could see the season’s best right in their own cities.
The Sofascore Player of the Season Award is built on objective data, not public votes. Every goal, pass, tackle or miss contributes to a rating that reflects what truly happened on the pitch. That’s why, for players and all football fans around the globe, Sofascore’s Player of the Season trophy is the only award that counts.

Evoplay starts a big fiesta in spicy new title Don Juan Peppers
Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has released Don Juan Peppers, a fiery new slot that blends bold bonus features with festive flair.
Set in a sun-soaked Mexican town bursting with colour, rhythm and celebration, the game invites players to join the charismatic Don Juan himself for a lively fiesta across 20 fixed paylines.
The action centres around two types of bonus symbols. Landing three Chili Bonus icons on reels two, three and four triggers seven Free Spins. During Free Spins, each appearance of a Chili Bonus symbol awards an Instant Chili Prize corresponding to the value shown above its reel.
Meanwhile, landing six or more Bonus symbols activates the bonus game. In this mode, all Bonus and Chili icons lock in place and reset the spin counter to three. Chilis in this round boost the value of up to four Bonus symbols before transforming and continuing the chase for bigger wins.
The bonus game also gives players a shot at four fixed jackpots: MINI, MEGA, SUPER, and the GRAND prize of 3,000x the bet. For players who want to skip straight to the fiesta, a Bonus Buy feature offers direct access to either the Bonus Game or Free Spins.
Don Juan Peppers is the latest release in Evoplay’s growing portfolio of standout slots, blending engaging gameplay with vibrant storytelling and proven features.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Don Juan Peppers is a celebration of bold design and dynamic mechanics. By blending familiar bonus features with a distinctive aesthetic and rhythmic theme, we’ve created a slot that feels both familiar and fresh.
“It’s a fantastic showcase of our approach to delivering high-performing content with real personality.”
