Merkur exhibits at Irish Gaming Show
The 42nd edition of the Dublin based Irish Gaming Show took place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Santry. With an eye fi rmly on the implementation of the new regulatory framework, Merkur presented a new multigame collection, Diamond Games, that has been created to comply with any future stakes and prizes limitations. The Diamond Spins wheel feature is available on games within the multigame and in each base game the player may be awarded Diamonds that are then stored on a Diamond Meter. The player can then select the Diamond Spins Bonus Game. The number of stored Diamonds selected determine the cash prize or number of additional Diamonds awarded for a winning spin of the wheel. Additionally, a Merkur Mystery Bonus is a great feature of all the Diamond Games’ titles.
Athanasios “Sakis” Isaakidis, Merkur Gaming’s chief executive, international, said: “It was a great pleasure to attend the Irish Gaming Show and I am extremely grateful to Philip and Steven O’Leary of EU Slot Sales for all of their continued support over the past few years. They are currently installing our Merkur Mystery and our successful linked jackpots Red Pocket and Link Zone2 in their own locations and thus gaining valuable data and player reactions as those products, and others, gaining valuable fl oor space and player feedback on prime locations throughout Ireland.”
