Crown Gaming Mexico, the Mexican subsidiary of the premier Austria-based gaming technology company Novomatic, has conducted its third VIP Experience in Mexico City.

Gambling operators from around the country gathered for the events to have a real-time experience with a selection of new products. There was a special theme for the event: the Voodoo Fortunes slot game.

The game was presented for the first time in Mexico on the Panthera Curve 1.43 cabinet, which delivers the game in impressive 4K resolution on a 43ins curved display. Created by Winfinity Games, a Novomatic studio, Voodoo Fortunes is part of the Fortunes game series and impressed at the event with its detailed graphics and engaging gameplay.

The main attraction of the machines was their compatibility to the Enchanted Fortunes linked jackpot that features a four-level linked progressive and can connect multiples of the same game as well as a variety of titles.

Also displayed on the event were the widely popular Imperator 3.24 black edition and Impera Line HD Edition 6, which featured games such as Amazon’s Diamonds and Blue Moon.
