Austrian Gaming Industries (AGI) is one of the world market leaders in the realm of cutting-edge casino technologies, having revolutionized the Roulette game with the development of its electronic live games, while Admiral Sportwetten AG with its over 60 betting offices is the undisputed market leader in Austria. Both successful subsidiaries of Novomatic Group of Companies bet on „female power“ in marketing: Gudrun Henn and Monika Emeresz each hold a marketing MBA and are responsible for the marketing performance of AGI, while Susanne Siblik and Kerstin Kitzmüller are in charge of marketing at Admiral Sportwetten.

The market leadership of the two Novomatic subsidiaries is based on the quality of their respective product offerings and the creative potential behind them. AGI invests nearly 10 percent of its annual revenues in R&D, and Admiral Sportwetten are market leaders not only as far as betting offices are concerned but also in respect of the range of betting product offerings: “Betting in Running” allows permanent betting during live transmissions of on-going sporting events and has been a huge success with customers even before the soccer world championships. And with the racing motto of „full speed“ the two marketing teams top the power of a Formula V racing car.
