History
Gamomat was founded in Berlin in 2008 by Dietmar Hermjohannes and describes its own path as a move from land-based gaming into iGaming; it marked fifteen years in 2023, which corroborates 2008 rather than the 2011 date that circulates. Its German development company, Gamomat Development GmbH, was entered in the Berlin commercial register in December 2012.
Its catalogue is built around the visual and mathematical conventions of the German amusement-with-prizes and casino-slot market — book-of titles, fruit symbols, low-complexity gamble features — which gave it a position with German-facing operators well before Germany regulated online slots in 2021. It added a Malta remote game server entity, Gamomat RGS Ltd, holding a Malta B2B critical gaming supply licence, and reached the United States through Bragg Gaming Group's Oryx distribution. It is frequently listed as a Merkur or Gauselmann company; no acquisition by that group appears in any registry or in Merkur's own announcements.
Notable
- Founded in 2008 by Dietmar Hermjohannes, who remains managing owner — the studio is independent, not a Merkur or Gauselmann company.
- Not Bally Wulff's online arm; Bally Wulff runs a separate online platform with a different catalogue.
- Catalogue built to German land-based slot conventions, which positioned it well when Germany regulated online slots in 2021.
- Reached the US market through Bragg Gaming Group's Oryx distribution rather than a direct integration.

How well established
The founder, the Berlin commercial register entry for the development company and the Maltese licence number are documented. The absence of any acquisition by Merkur or Gauselmann was checked against the register and against the group's own announcements.
