There are a few questions that need to be asked of Novomatic?

Why don't they want to complete a full takeover?

Are they just using Ainsworth to allow Novomatic to enter the Australian market?

Are Novomatic buying in to obtain discounts on the purchase of poker machines as Novomatic owns many casinos under the group of companies they own?

The problem for Ainsworth is that Growth is going to be a continued problem in South America. The Cost of an Ainsworth machine is approx $25000 USD for a new machine to buy in South America. Comparing this to other brands The cost of a new Novomatic machine is $20000 USD and there is a 6-month waiting list for these machines because they are making on average $35 per day per machine. Compared to Ainsworth's $27 per day per machine.


I believe that Novomatic will do one of these options below with Ainsworth.

1. Use Ainsworth to act as an agent in Australia to sell Novomatic slots into the Australian market.

2. Leave Ainsworth as it is currently running with no changes.

3. Use Ainsworth to improve the brand recognition of Novomatic in the USA and in Asia as these markets are the biggest opportunities to grow.

Please DYOR and look at the differences between the machines that Novomatic produce and the machines that Ainsworth product.
