Novo Cinemas hosts first big screen gaming session
DUBAI, December 22, 2018
Novo Cinemas, a leading homegrown cinema chain, recently hosted its very first big screen gaming session at its 7-star screen in Seef Mall, Bahrain.
In a bid to increase Event Cinema opportunities from streaming live sporting action to hosting independent workshops, Novo invited famous Bahrani YouTuber ‘Spooki’, known for reviewing video games and with over 2million subscribers, to the ultimate big screen experience.
Taking place within their 7-star screen at Seef Mall; Bahrain, Spooki had the entire 44 seat cinema to himself where he battled it out in the most talked about game of the year, Fortnite, said a statement from the leading cinema chain.
Boasting Dolby Atmos sound, which provides moving audio with sound that flows around and above to create a powerful experience, the cinema came to life with vivid gaming action reflected on the 6-metre screen, it stated.

We are continuing to pave the way as market leaders when it comes to introducing new technology and bespoke experiences such as this,” she added.
