The British BACTA bikers, who ride through Europe collecting money for charity, recently visited the NOVOMATIC headquarters in Gumpoldskirchen, Austria, to accept a donation for the Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity.

The bikers are a group of motorcyclists from BACTA, which is the only association to represent the amusement industry in Great Britain and serves the interests of over 500 companies and over 1,000 individuals.

Stefan Krenn, General Secretary of NOVOMATIC, welcomed the seven bikers in Gumpoldskirchen and handed over a cheque of EUR 5,000. Following the cheque presentation, the bikers were taken on a guided tour of the NOVOMATIC headquarters. Within their current European tour, the bikers will also visit the NOVOMATIC subsidiaries Novo Gaming Netherlands and NOVOMATIC UK, who will both also donate EUR 2,500 to the BACTA charitable fund.

“For NOVOMATIC, as one of the largest gaming companies in the world, Great Britain is a market of the future that offers immense opportunities and is one of our core markets, where we employ almost 3,000 staff. We are committed to return part of our success to society. Therefore, we appreciate the dedication of the charity bikers, who have been organizing these tours since the early 1990s to contribute to charity and society,” remarked Stefan Krenn.
