Merkur Returning to G2E

Merkur Gaming, the casino division of German AWP giant Gauselmann Group, will participate in the Global Gaming Expo, launching new cabinets and games.

Merkur Gaming, a division of German amusement manufacturer Gauselmann Group, will return to G2E after several years to display new cabinets, games and system solutions.

It is the first time Gauselmann will be back at G2E since it sold its Atronic Group slot-making subsidiary to Spielo International in 2011. At booth 2464, Merkur will display new cabinets including “Evolution SL” and “Avantgarde SLT,” which both feature wide-screen monitors and HD technology.

Merkur also will launch its “Ozone” gaming machine. “It is fair to say that this Ozone has no match,” said the release. “It is a completely new idea. The player sits inside a capsule, a kind of cocoon, to be able to completely submerge into the gaming entertainment. The eyes can better focus on the HD gaming screens and the ears will enjoy surround-sound of a new dimension thanks to the integrated subwoofer behind the seat.

“The desire, indeed the thirst to bring new game-changing solutions to the market was demonstrated with the introduction of the ‘Highflyer’—a slant-top gaming machine where the larger, upper monitor is seemingly floating in the air, giving players the opportunity to relax and enjoy gaming in a completely different way. All these gaming machines will be joined by the popular cabinets ‘Privilege Plus’, ‘Evolution’ and ‘Vision Plus.’”

Merkur Gaming can link its machines with its own jackpot system that will be shown at the G2E. Additionally, Merkur Gaming will display the innovative money management systems from the Gauselmann Group, including the “Merkur Dispenser 100 Gold,” which the company calls “the new standard for banknote recycling that includes the possibility to accept tickets.”
