Any wins will be directly booked into their single wallet and be instantly available for slots play.

Werner Kearns, Sales Manager NBS, said: “Casino Tróia is our second NOVOVISION installation in Portugal, which firstly shows how highly the Portuguese market appreciates visionary solutions, and secondly, it is a real testament to the excellent local service provided by our long-standing local distribution partner Marcos Pinto from Diverstock. It is very gratifying for me personally to see how our solution is gaining momentum with customers who recognise its true benefits and technical depth. I also extend my thanks to the management of Casino Tróia for their trust and the excellent cooperation of their local team with our NOVOVISION teams.”
