The NOVOSTAR V.I.P. turns the SL slant top into a lounge seat. The V.I.P. 2.50 pairs a 50-inch Full HD LED screen with FLIPSCREEN and a 27-inch touchscreen on the cabinet; the 3.50 doubles the big screens to two 50-inch displays; and the V.I.P.

Each comes with the V.I.P. chair, which has speakers in the headrest, bet buttons in the armrest and an extra start button in the footrest. Our VIP II and VIP III are the 2.50 and 3.50, and both are available.
The V.I.P. Eagle combines a slant top with an upright. The Eagle III 3.32 has two 32-inch Full HD LED game screens above a 27-inch Full HD touchscreen on the slant, plus FLIPSCREEN and XL LED lighting, and it premiered at ICE London in 2019 for selected markets. The Eagle 3.32-II version measures 2000 mm high, 770 mm wide and 860 mm deep.
The V.I.P. Lounge, launched in 2016, brings the V.I.P. experience to a smaller footprint. The 2.32 has two 32-inch Full HD LED screens, a 12-inch TouchDeck, built-in sound and an optional V.I.P. chair. Novomatic lists it at 2060 mm high and 765 mm wide, with a depth of 1481 to 1656 mm.
Dealers link FV 833 and FV 834 to Novomatic's IMPERATOR 3.24: three 23.8-inch Full HD LED screens with touch on the lowest one, stainless-steel styling and an integrated base. The Black Edition is the same machine in matte black. Novomatic itself uses FV834A for a different cabinet, the V.I.P. Lounge, so check the nameplate.

The GAMINATOR Scorpion 2.24 (Novomatic product number FV310) is an upright with two 23.8-inch full HD LED game screens, the lower one touch-enabled, under a 23.8-inch full HD topper for game art or jackpots. LED trim changes color with the game, and a player-tracking module sits below the bottom screen. Novomatic unveiled it at ICE London in February 2016, gave it its US debut at G2E Las Vegas that year, and built it to run all of its game platforms.
Novomatic's PRIMUS 2.24, code FV638, is an upright in glossy black piano finish with two 24-inch HD-ready monitors. Its LED lighting also works as a status light, showing at a glance whether the machine is in play or free, and a banknote recycler comes as standard for easier cash handling.

About Novomatic
Johann F. Graf founded Novomatic in 1980 in Gumpoldskirchen, Lower Austria, in a former wine merchant's building, with 12 staff and his own savings, and the first ADMIRAL machines came out that same year. Within a year it was selling into Germany, France, the Netherlands and Switzerland, and in 1990 it delivered complete casino fit-outs to South Africa.
Novomatic cabinets run on its own hardware platforms, starting with Coolfire in 1997 and Coolfire II in 2003, and the NOVOSTAR SL slant top arrived in 2009. Latin America has been a steady market: a Peru licence in 2000, a Colombian company in 2001, and Argentina and a Chilean casino joint venture in 2008. The Panthera series followed in 2018, the year Novomatic took control of Ainsworth.
Novomatic is both a manufacturer and an operator, running about 2,000 arcades and casinos of its own. It reports around 26,000 employees, revenue of more than €3.6 billion in 2025 and exports to over 130 countries, and Graf remains its owner.
