The Ice is a truly international gaming show and naturally a key exhibition in the calendar of Merkur Gaming. The large 650 square metre stand offers the space for Merkur Gaming for visitors to enjoy an unforgettable time on this stand, seeing just why ‘made in Germany’ technology is the future for global gaming.
Never before Merkur Gaming has shown such a wide array of gaming machines. A total of eleven different cabinets will be on display. These are the Evolution, Privilege Plus, WB 4, Vision Plus, Uno, Motion, Motion 2, Highflyer, Evolution SL, Avantgarde SLT and Ozone. Merkur Gaming offers so much more than just ‘upright’ or ‘slant top’ gaming machines. For example, take a look at the Highflyer – a slant top with a real difference. The upper monitor here seems to be floating in the air. Extensive marketing research, followed by focused R&D work led to this solution where players can choose between two fundamental seating positions – either focusing on the lower gaming screen or choosing the gaming screen to be on the upper monitor with the desire to lean back and relax to this unique gaming experience. Talking about unique, the Ozone is just that. This gaming orb allows the player to completely indulge him or herself in this wonderful gaming experience. It has the feeling of an amusement machine as the player sits inside the orb and is shielded from the outside world. The sound effects can naturally be made most use of with such a design.
Merkur Gaming’s philosophy is all about offering choice. Merkur Gaming recognises that players have different needs and aspirations when playing and the extremely wide cabinet choice reflects this. Visitors to the Merkur Gaming stand will see focused solutions for particular gaming markets, such as for Spain, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Italy and South Africa. It goes without saying that Merkur Gaming has several R&D offices spread around the world to be able to best cater to regional requirements. Merkur Gaming has the strategy, structure and financial strength to be able to invest in the future. This investment will be directly demonstrated at the ICE – as Merkur Gaming will be showing around 20 brand new games, all in HD definition.
The continual international growth of the Gauselmann Group will furthermore be reflected in the number of companies joining Merkur Gaming on stand number # N4-260. adp Gauselmann is the manufacturing company within the group that provides the gaming solutions for both the international and German markets. Blueprint Gaming is a leading UK supplier of gaming machines and digital content to land-based venues, server-based gaming networks and online & mobile casinos. Cashpoint is the company responsible for sports betting within the Gauselmann Group with its focus both on online sports betting and land-based sports betting with an array of exciting sports betting terminals.
This sheer choice on the Merkur Gaming is complimented with the company’s fundamental knowledge on cash management. The Gauselmann Group is a pioneer in bringing banknote recycling to gaming machines – so much so that it developed its own solution – the Merkur Dispenser 100 – to ensure its success. The further-improved version called Merkur Dispenser Gold will be on display on the Merkur Gaming stand. This banknote recycler can store and pay out three separate denominations with a capacity of 34 notes of each type.
Mr. Ralf Markmann, Managing Director at Merkur Gaming, is looking forward to his first Ice, stating, “Never before has Merkur Gaming offered so many gaming possibilities. We understand that each market has its own special requirements and can draw upon great internal knowledge from our long-standing multi-lingual team and naturally from a cabinet and games choice that incredibly keeps continuing to grow. ‘Made in Germany’ with all the local market requirements in-built. Merkur Gaming has so much to offer to global gaming”. Being in the entertainment industry, naturally Merkur Gaming will be entertaining its guests. Come to Merkur Gaming at ICE – it promises to be an unforgettable visit.
