Merkur Gaming is going to participate in Belgrade Future Gaming 2025. On May 27 and 28, the German gaming giant will showcase its innovative and attractive product portfolio for the Balkan gaming market at the Belgrade Fair, Hall 4, Booth C1.
“Although regulatory conditions in the Balkans – as in many other parts of the world – have evolved in an extremely challenging manner over the past few years, the region remains one of our most important markets. Our continued presence at trade fairs like Belgrade Future Gaming, despite these challenging regulatory conditions, underscores our confidence and optimism regarding the future of gaming in the Balkans,” said Athanasios “Sakis” Isaakidis, Chief Executive International at Merkur Gaming.
To cater to the specific preferences of customers and players in the region, Merkur Gaming is bringing a tailored portfolio to the Serbian capital. Among the highlights is the company’s proven multi-game package, Merkur Prime, which impresses with a modern menu interface and an enhanced player experience. Merkur Prime also features additional game titles, new harmonised sound effects and optimised win animations, delivering an even more immersive gaming experience. Another standout attraction on the exhibition floor will be the Game Ring platform by Reel Time Gaming, which enjoys immense popularity across the Balkans. The latest version of this multi-game platform will be showcased on the Mod Ex cabinet, featuring Reel Time Gaming’s newest and most popular titles.
As in almost every other gaming market worldwide, Linked Progressive Jackpot systems are extremely popular in the Balkans. A true highlight this year: Clash Link. This system stands out primarily due to its unique jackpot mechanics and the exceptionally high frequency of diverse features, delivering an extra dose of thrill to players while keeping the action level at its peak almost continuously. Equally set to make waves is Link Overdrive. This innovative Linked Progressive Jackpot system promises a first-class gaming experience, featuring the ever-popular Hold ‘n Spin mechanic, enticing free spins with additional reels and the spectacular Big Reel feature. Already well-known yet just as captivating as the latest additions to the portfolio is the popular Five Jackpot Respin feature. It transports players into vast and opulent pyramids, immersing them in the mysteries of ancient Egypt as they chase extraordinary winnings.
“The anticipation for Belgrade Future Gaming is immense. A significant number of our Eastern European customers will be in attendance, giving them the opportunity to experience our modern, high-quality product portfolio firsthand. Engaging in direct and personal exchanges with our partners during the show is a truly valuable experience for us and our business, year after year,” said Borivoje Rajšić, Sales Director at Merkur Gaming Serbia.
