Spintec powers Merkur installation
Spintec and Merkur Gaming have been strategic partners in the area of electronic table games manufacturing since 2018. This cooperation proved extremely fruitful as Spintec’s technological knowledge and cutting-edge product development and Merkur Gaming’s innovative approach to the casino industry have provided both partners with a distinct advantage. Their latest joint achievement is an installation of a
series of electronic table games in a newly opened Merkur-operated casino in Monheim. This exciting new casino is the largest in Germany, spreading over 4,300 square meters and boasting a total of 510 different machines. The installation consists of 44 new state-of-the-art
play stations in an arena setting, which makes it the largest Spintec installation in Europe. It allows the guests to enjoy the thrills of several different games from the comfort of their own play stations in a two-fl oor level “Experience Arena” concept. The games can be played interchangeably or simultaneously, and include an automated Roulette, live Roulette and live Blackjack games. This is a ground-breaking example of the latest trends in casino entertainment, where the players can enjoy a multitude of games, game features and progressives, with the clear aim of offering the players the excitement and comfort of the highest order.
Apart from embracing the latest gaming trends,
the size of the installation also warrants the use of two automated wheels along with a live game table for Blackjack. It is the fi rst of its kind to be height-adjustable, offering optimal ergonomics to the live dealer. The installation furthermore offers a great vibe to younger audiences with live dealer interaction as well as accommodating high-rollers who are able to play roulette on up to three live wheels and two automated wheels simultaneously. Athanasios “Sakis” Isaakidis, chief executive
international at Merkur Gaming, said: “Our cooperation with Spintec is growing year by year and we are very happy that we were able to implement an installation as important and as groundbreaking as the one in Monheim.” Goran Sovilj, global sales director at Spintec,
added: “We are extremely happy with our partnership with Merkur, who are constantly proving to be at the forefront of the casino business in Europe. Our joint installations in Germany are already showing great performance and yielding very promising results. Our market share in Germany has increased to 7% in the last year alone and we could not be more pleased with this result.”
