Successful approval of all state authorities paves the way for strategic expansion in France.
After an intensive examination of all responsible licensing and supervisory authorities, the Austrian gaming technology group Novomatic successfully completed the takeover of the French Vikings Casinos Group. With this step, the company strengthens presence in one of the most important gaming markets in Europe and underlines the long-term focus on sustainable growth and international diversification.
The company, founded in Falaise in 1998, is now one of the leading casino operators in France with over 300 employees. The Vikings Casinos Group currently operates around 1,000 gaming terminals in more than ten live casinos across the country-including renowned locations on the Côte d’Azur. This takeover enables Novomatic to significantly expand the portfolio in one of the largest gambling regions in Europe and consistently continue the international growth strategy.
„The takeover of the Vikings Casinos is a significant step on our way to specifically expand Novomatic’s international market presence. France is one of the most dynamic and at the same time most demanding gaming markets in Europe. With this investment we not only strengthen our leading position in Europe, but also set a clear sign for our long -term expansion strategy at a global level ”, emphasized Stefan Krenn, board member of Novomatic AG.
The regulatory consent of the French authorities not only stands for the trust in the competence and reliability of the Novomatic AG Group, but also opens up new perspectives for the further development of the French casino business under the roof of a global gaming technology group.
