MERKUR has showcased its products at G2E with great success.

The MERKUR booth in Las Vegas highlighted an expanded range of Linked Progressive Jackpots: the already extremely successful Link Zone, Solar Link, and the recently released Red Pocket Jackpot now being joined by two brand new products: China Charms and the exciting Fortunes of Fulu Chen.

The return of G2E to its accustomed form was a huge attraction for many visitors from across the Latin American region. With an executive team from MERKUR’s subsidiary companies in Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru on hand, everything was ready.

Those national teams, and the whole MERKUR team, were kept totally busy from the show’s opening right through the three days until its close, in welcoming guests and dealing with enquiries.

Supporting MERKUR at G2E were its sister companies GeWeTe, the Group company responsible for cash handling solutions, MERKUR eSolutions, providing state-of-the-art omnichannel solutions that bridge the gap between the physical and the iGaming world, and edict eGaming GmbH who demonstrated their edict aggregator solution that provides the famous MERKUR slot titles into the online world.

All those companies individually recorded great results at G2E, creating new business opportunities as they made many new and exciting contacts.

MERKUR’s chief executive, international, Athanasios “Sakis” Isaakidis said: “This has been a really great show for MERKUR. As you can see, we have been extremely busy, over all three days and from opening to closing. I can sum up our reaction with three comments.

“First, it was absolutely great just to be back in Las Vegas (the spiritual home of modern-day casino gaming) and to see an event that was just as good as any of G2E’s previous editions.

“Second, it was such a pleasure to re-engage with customers, business partners and friends that we haven’t been able to see face-to-face for so long.

“Finally, and most importantly, it was great to see the proof that, despite the many warnings that the pandemic would damage traditional land-based casino gaming irreparably, gaming is back, is in good health and is just as active and as vibrant as it was before Covid hit.

“I want to thank the G2E organisers for putting on such an exceptional ‘back to business’ show as well as thanking our own team here in Las Vegas for working incredibly hard and bringing in such great results.”

He continued: “We move on now to BEGE in Sofia, Bulgaria to close out our 2022 show year and then we eagerly anticipate the return to a traditional ICE in London: the show that we are happy to regard as the home event for MERKUR.”

Returning to its traditional dates, June 15-16, and for its 19th edition expectations were at an all-time high for the Peru Gaming Show. Those expectations, by overwhelming strength of opinion from both exhibitors, regulators and visitors, were seen to be not just met, but by some margin, exceeded.

As the largest exhibiting company at PGS, MERKUR GAMING Peru (with strong international support) put on a magnificent display, highlighting its Link Zone and new Solar Link progressive jackpot solutions together with the eloquently named MERKUR Mystery feature link and a strong selection of top-class multigame machines that featured the latest and best game titles. Also presented on the MERKUR booth was the traditionally themed MERKUR Biergarten. This catering and hospitality area has been a MERKUR fixture over several past years and represents a chance for visitors and guests to take a “time out” from the crowded aisles, take a seat, relax for a while and enjoy the food and drink hospitality provided.

MERKUR’s sister brands edict eGaming, presenting online gaming solutions plus cash handling technology experts GeWeTe were also present on the MERKUR booth and both also reported excellent levels of interest not just from Peru but also from right across the LatAm region.

Tomas Mieles, MERKUR’s Sales Director for Latin America, said: “I am delighted with how well the show has gone for MERKUR. We are a major brand in Peru but PGS also brought in important contacts from right across the region. The work that every member of our Peru team has put in has been exceptional and the smooth running of every aspect of the show has been the very positive result.”

Athanasios ‘Sakis’ Isaakidis, Chief Executive, International, said: “This has been an outstanding show for MERKUR. I was delighted that we were showing our latest Linked progressive Jackpot solutions, Link Zone and the brand new Solar Link at the show and that we were also able to visit some important casinos in Lima, see Link Zone in action and, most importantly, see players really enjoying the base games and the thrill of hitting jackpots.”

He concluded: “I want to thank everyone in making PGS such a huge success. Our resident team in Lima, who worked with an almost military precision and our international colleagues who gave 100% support throughout. The PGS organisers deserve praise for the show that they presented. It makes me fully support the feeling that this will come to be known as the most important gaming B2B event in Latin America.”
