Gauselmann Group wins Lower Saxony casino concession

The Gauselmann Group has won the tender for the casino concession of Lower Saxony, opening the opportunity to operate up to 10 new casino locations.

The concession allows for the state-licensed locations to be operated under the umbrella of the Merkur sun from September 1, 2024 initially for a period of 15 years.

“I’m extremely delighted about receiving the casino concession in our neighbouring state of Lower Saxony,” said Paul Gauselmann, company founder and chairman of the management board.

“Being able to clock up this additional significant milestone in our company’s history, just two years after taking over the North Rhine-Westphalia casinos, makes me and all the employees involved very proud and shows once again that we master the ‘higher school’ of gaming with and centred round money, and that we can act responsibly in this respect.

“Now, in autumn 2024, the task is to integrate the Lower Saxony casinos, with their roughly 400 employees, into our company and to welcome them to the world of Merkur.”
