Cette année, Merkur Gaming a exposé ses deux multi-jeux novateurs présents dans sa borne de jeux de casino WB4, sous sa marque Games Unlimited VLT.

Les nouvelles règles proposées par un Traité sur les jeux d’argent pourraient con- duire à la fermeture de bon nombre des quelque 10 000 salles de jeux réparties à travers l’Allemagne. Les Chefs d’Etat souhaitent en particulier imposer une durée d’exploitation maximale de cinq ans aux salles de multi-concession exis- tantes si la réglementation est approu- vée. Le cas échéant, l’industrie estime le retrait du marché de 100 000 des 150 000 machines de jeux installées actuelle- ment dans des salles d’arcades. Les réglementations actuelles d’AWP sont d’importants sujets de débat entre les Chefs d’Etat qui n’ont pas de contrôle direct sur cette industrie. Le secteur alle- mand de l’AWP est régi au niveau fédéral, tandis que le casino et le loto sont régis par l’Etat.
