Reading Time: 2 minutes
NOVOMATIC Group has appointed new Directors to NOVOMATIC Italia’s Director Board.
The new Director Board is headed by Chairman Franco Rota who has been part of the management team since 2007.
“It makes me proud to see how in almost 12 years NOVOMATIC Italia has grown to become a leading provider of services and technologies of all kinds. There is no segment of the Italian gaming market that we haven’t scrutinized to deliver highly specialized and advanced know how. It is a great achievement to see that today the company that started out in 2007 with a handful of employees, has become a large enterprise with 2,800 staff,” Franco Rota said.
Olga Rodrigo has been appointed as the new CEO of the group. She is having a deep knowledge of the Italian market, both of the regulations and of the complexity of the players that compose the system of Italian legal gaming.
“I am very happy to put my enthusiasm and my expertise at the service of NOVOMATIC Italia. The NOVOMATIC Group proves its commitment to Italy as one of the most important countries in Europe. It is therefore essential to consolidate and increase our market leadership by leveraging synergy and collaboration: I am sure that only by working together and sharing common goals, we can obtain the expected results that can allow everyone to feel like active protagonists in their own professional reality,” Olga Rodrigo said.
Markus Buechele is the new CFO of the group. He started his NOVOMATIC career in 2006 at the headquarters in Austria and has been part of the Board of NOVOMATIC Italia since 2008.
“I was able to actively contribute to the fantastic growth of the Group from the beginning – and also throughout delicate times for the Italian legal gaming sector, from the fiscal and regulatory point of view. I feel a great responsibility to all my colleagues and to our reference stakeholder, the mother company, and I am proud of the work done in recent years. It is essential to continue working together and to face the objective difficulties of the whole sector with a spirit of teamwork and the necessary motivation to make a difference compared to our competitors,” Markus Buechele said.
The new constitution of the Board of Directors was augmented by a new personality, Karl Plank, who joined the top management as Chief Operating Officer (COO).
“It is an honour for me to be on this Board of Directors. My commitment will be focused on the Gaming Operations, with the aim to develop a collaborative work so that NOVOMATIC Italia becomes a best practice example for the legal Italian gaming sector. Not only as far as the gaming offer is concerned but also with regard to the best practices in terms of Responsible Gaming, from the environmental point of view but also as an employer,” Karl Plank said.
“We are working towards a process of organisational simplification, towards responsibility and the valorization of everyone’s abilities. We strongly believe that the key to success lies in technological evolution and in taking new roads, confirming the pioneering nature of the Group, and being the forerunner in innovation,” Bartholomäus Czapkiewicz, CTO of NOVOMATIC said.

Introducing Prize Ladder from Northern Lights Gaming
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Studio’s latest classic slot delivers exhilarating bonus action against a glamorous TV gameshow backdrop, with cascading reels adding to the excitement
Have you got what it takes to take on the Prize Ladder and come out on top? That’s the question players must answer before taking on the latest classic slot title from in-demand content house, Northern Lights Gaming.
Bright lights and big wins are the order of the day in Prize Ladder, a game-show style blockbuster that promises twists and turns from the very first game round to the last.
Set on a vibrant stage with dazzling neon lights and a booming announcer voice, this ANYWAYS Rolling Reels game pays both left-to-right and right-to-left.
ANYWAYS Rolling Reels is triggered on any win and kick-starts a cascade where winning symbols are removed and new ones roll in, opening up chances for more consecutive wins.
The excitement builds with the Prize Ladder™ itself, which increases the value of winning symbols with every consecutive cascade in a single spin. And if a Padlock symbol lands on the final cascade, those juicy symbol values get locked in for the next spin.
This wouldn’t be a Northern Lights Gaming slot without a glitzy Free Spins bonus, which gets triggered when three or more Scatter symbols land. This gets the player eight Free Games with the Awards Cards held for the duration.
Then there’s the Super Spins, which are triggered when the player lands a full reel of the same symbol with Star overprints on reels one or five.
One whole reel of the same symbol also has a chance to trigger the Super Spins. The reels then spin in more of that symbol across the reels. Each position that is not held, spins, with either the triggering symbol, blank or Scatters.
Additional symbols and Scatters that land are held on the reels, and for each Super Spin, the Prize Ladder award rolls up one level.
Now for the Buy the Bonus options – players can Booster Buy, which increases the chance of triggering the Free Spins, Super Spins and the Padlock Bonus, or they can opt for the Bonus Buy to head straight to the Free Spins, Super Spins or Super Free Spins.
Chris Loftus CEO at Northern Lights Gaming, said: “Prize Ladder is a classic slot that plays more like a bonus-heavy video slot. It’s a game that’s all about the glitz and glamour, and climbing that ladder to unlock the game’s biggest bonuses and wins.
“The entire team has really pulled together for Prize Ladder, and the result is a visually striking slot with gameplay that gets pulses racing thanks to a smart combination of mechanics and bonuses, including some of our unique in-house features like Rolling Reels.
“Think your players are ready to take on the Prize Ladder? There’s only one way to find out.”

EEGS Webinar on Engaging Gen Z – Insights from Ana D’Arrigo
Reading Time: < 1 minute
On October 15th, EEGS hosted a dynamic webinar titled “Winning over Gen Z: How to Engage the Next Generation of Players”, featuring renowned speaker Ana D’Arrigo. This session marked the first webinar since the summer break and was highly anticipated.
The webinar was a practical, experience-based discussion, enriched with real-world examples from leading companies. Ana shared valuable insights drawn from her personal experience, offering attendees actionable strategies to connect with the elusive Gen Z audience.
The session commenced with a thorough exploration of “Who are Gen Z?” – the first digital natives, highly tech-savvy, and increasingly challenging to target through traditional marketing. Ana highlighted that Gen Z-ers are distinct: they prioritize authenticity, lead with purpose, express themselves creatively, value transparency, are entrepreneurial, and driven by their values. Despite having short attention spans, they engage deeply when content resonates with them.
A key takeaway from the webinar was the shift needed in marketing approaches: “To win Gen Z, stop marketing to them – start creating with them,” a powerful insight echoed by ChatGPT and emphasized by Ana. Instead of mass marketing, personalized, authentic content that involves Gen Z in the creation process is essential.
Further, Ana discussed the future of marketing to Gen Z, emphasizing ongoing engagement and authenticity. She actively engaged with the audience, responding to intriguing questions and fostering a lively discussion.
