NOVOMATIC breaks ground at GAT Cartagena 2026

 Following a remarkable participation at GAT Cartagena 2026, NOVOMATIC Gaming Colombia reaffirmed its leadership in the Latin American gaming industry by combining a strong technological showcase with a prominent role in the discussions shaping the future of the sector. The company, which has led gaming device imports in Colombia for more than three years, used this strategic platform to present solutions designed to maximize performance in gaming venues across the region.  

The exhibition at stand A27 focused on innovation in progressive jackpot systems and highperformance configurations. The centerpiece of the showcase was the XTENSION LINK™ series, which included the debut of XTENSION LINK™ Evolution and XTENSION LINK™ Volume 4, the latter presented in the BLACK EDITION II 1.49J cabinet featuring its signature J-curved screen. The offering was complemented by high-impact titles such as SUPERIA GAMES™ WIN WAYS™ and RISING TREASURES™, as well as XTENSION LINK™ Ultimate and the Impera PROLINK™ titles, consolidating a versatile and state-of-the-art portfolio for regional operators.  

In addition to the linked systems, NOVOMATIC showcased a selection of multi-game libraries designed to provide operational flexibility for different types of gaming floors. Among them were Magic Games Premium HD, GAMINATOR™ X5, Impera Line™ HD Edition 9, and Superia Games™ Premium 3, installed on the modern FUNMASTER 2.27/3.27 and PANTHER 2.27 cabinets.  

The brand’s institutional presence was evident from the very beginning of the event with the participation of Max Bauer, Vice President Latin America & Caribbean at NOVOMATIC, in the official ribbon-cutting ceremony. This leadership continued throughout the conference agenda, where Manuel Del Sol, CEO of NOVOMATIC Gaming Colombia, and José Casapía Bardales, Institutional Relations Manager of NOVOMATIC Peru, delivered one of the most insightful contributions during the Land-Based Panel.  

During the session, Del Sol and Casapía analyzed the critical role manufacturers play in the certification processes under Colombia’s machine reliability regulations. Both experts provided a detailed overview of the market, identifying the volume of machines that will need to adapt to the new standards and outlining the role manufacturers will play in supporting this transition.
