Corporate Social Responsibility
As a gaming group we bear a high social and sociopolitical responsibility that we thoroughly accept and embrace. Right from the beginning we have integrated this philosophy into our corporate culture and are actively engaged in arts, cultural, sports and social activities. As an economically highly successful company we consider it our duty to also help those who have been unfairly treated by fate and luck. We are convinced that sustainable economic development can only be practised in a socially responsible environment.
Exemplary projects:
„NOVOMATIC bringt Kultur ins Spiel“ (“NOVOMATIC combines culture with gaming“)
- Support of the IOV (International Organisation for Folk Arts), a UNESCO member organisation
- Communal activities as the main cultural sponsor of the Gumpoldskirchen municipality (home of NOVOMATIC headquarters)
„We keep you in the game“
- Premier league soccer clubs, ice-hockey teams and various other sports receive support through Novomatic’s 100 percent subsidiary Admiral Sportwetten GmbH.
- An important social issue for Novomatic are paralympic sports. Novomatic supports the Wheel Chair Tennis Team Cups and is main sponsor of the handbike athletes Wolfgang Schattauer and Markus Schmoll within the European Handcycling Contest.

Novomatic Forum
Following the acquisition of the historic Verkehrsbüro building, located in the heart of Vienna, in 2007, Novomatic plans to create a site of general cultural and European social encounter at the centre of the „Kunstplatz Karlsplatz“. The building will be renovated and modernised in keeping with its important heritage and in close co-operation with the Office for Protection of Historical Monuments and the Municipality Vienna. The reopening is scheduled for End of 2009.
As has already been announced: This historic jewel of architecture will be an interdisciplinary meeting point of European cultures surrounded by multi-media experiences and culinary delights. It will enrich the cultural city life of Vienna with yet another highlight.
Marilyn: Intimacy
In the year 2012 the 50th anniversary of Monroe's passing was seen. For this special celebration the Novomatic Forum honored the actress with the exhibition: „Marilyn: Intimacy” from 22nd of December 2011 to 10th of March 2012. This is why for several weeks, the showrooms were transformed into a memorial shrine of sorts, a sympathetic commemoration of an exceptional star. With this exhibition, the Forum (located adjacent to Vienna's Naschmarkt, Friedrichstraße 7, 1010 Vienna) presented itself in a new light and invited visitors to take a sensational journey into a lost world via what has remained as the tangible representation of memories: personal objects from the estate of a global star.
