ICE 2024 REVIEW
Merkur Group Shines at ICE 2024 with Impressive Innovations
“W
elcome to London” was the greeting this year for the last time at the industry-leading
trade fair ICE. From February 6th to 8th, the international gaming industry gathered for the final time at the Exhibition Center London (ExCeL), presenting their latest products and services to over 40,000 visitors. With its customary radiance, the Merkur Group also showcased its extensive product portfolio on a sprawling 2,000 square meter show platform. “For over a decade, ICE and ExCeL were
inextricably linked. Accordingly, we look back on many unforgettable moments and significant successes that we experienced and celebrated together with our customers and business partners in London,” explains Jürgen Stühmeyer, Management Board member, Merkur Sales. “With the move to Barcelona, the show is now embarking on a new chapter, which opens up new and promising opportunities for both Merkur Group and the entire gaming industry. After such a magnificent finale at ICE in London, I am confident that the new start in Barcelona will be equally successful.” The Mod Ex, the new flagship in the cabinet
portfolio of the international distribution brand Merkur Gaming, caused a stir on the Merkur exhibition floor. The Multigamer impresses with unprecedented modularity, as not only the monitor but also the body and base can be freely configured according to the needs of customers and players. Another new cabinet making its debut in Merkur Gaming’s portfolio is the Zonic Curved, which attracted the attention of trade show visitors with its stylish design. The new Linked Progressives from Merkur Gaming also received great acclaim. With Link Wave, Clash Link, Link Zone Rush, and Link Zone Lounge, four new jackpot systems promise a phenomenal gaming experience thanks to unique mechanics and impressive thematic worlds. The introduction of the new Multigame Package “Merkur Prime” also thrilled ICE attendees, as the package brings eleven new games along with consistent sound and winning animations, promising a lot of gaming excitement on the monitors. The new Merkur Roulette “Spectra” completed Merkur Gaming’s diverse product offering.
