AGI confirms strategic alliance with Independent


The alliance, concluded in the run up to the Global Gaming Expo Asia in Macau (where Novomatic’s multi-player products are already exclusively distributed by TCS John Huxley), will see Independent Gaming distribute AGI products throughout Asia, providing on site sales and service facilities from their logistic support hubs located directly in the region.

In a reciprocal agreement, Austrian Gaming Industries will introduce Independent Gaming’s groundbreaking Flexi-Link jackpot system to European markets.

Flexi-Link is the next generation of computer jackpot link systems, featuring multi-level mystery jackpots that maintain and enhance player attraction by visibly notifying the maximum possible cash value of forthcoming jackpot wins.

Its jackpot system has been a huge success in Australia, throughout Asia and beyond, with over 200 systems already installed worldwide. Now the alliance between Austrian Gaming Industries and Independent Gaming sees this guaranteed win technology come to licensed gaming venues throughout Europe.

Commenting on the alliance AGI’s Managing Director, Jens Halle, noted: “This alliance represents a ‘win-win’ situation for both AGI and Independent Gaming. The proven strengths of Novomatic products are already creating great excitement in Asia. Now, with Independent Gaming, those products will have the added benefit of technical support and sales capabilities directly within the region.

We are also delighted to be able to bring the Flexi-Link jackpot system to Europe. This is a highly cost effective jackpot solution for gaming operators that adds excitement and dynamism to gaming floors and AGI is excited by its potential.”

Lawrence Shepherd, President and Managing Director of Independent Gaming, added: “This alliance between Independent Gaming and Austrian Gaming Industries is the result of a period of careful negotiation and mutual due diligence. The Novomatic name is known and respected around the world and their organisation and professionalism is the key to the success of the Flexi-Link system in Europe. In Asia, we look forward to building on Novomatic’s reputation for excellent products and excellent service and we are more than confident of success.”
