Merkur looks forward to ‘brilliant’ EAE show

It is going to be a brilliant Bucharest gaming machine show next month, says major exhibitor Merkur.

The German company will be taking a large stand at the 14th Entertainment Arena Expo to be held at the Romexpo Fair Ground in Romania’s capital.

Merkur is planning to take a line-up of its top jackpot machines, cabinets and new games, plus cash handling associate GeWeTe and the payment options of Merkur eSolutions.

Romania, says Merkur, has the largest assembly of slots in operation in eastern Europe at 70,000. It has been a happy hunting ground for the company for 18 years, through its own subsidiary Merkur Gaming Distribution that is based in Bucharest under the control of Hannelore Fuica.

Fuica confirmed that the two most popular game types with Romanian players are fruit games and, in recent years, roulette. Already in both slot hall and sports betting operations throughout the country the new Merkur Roulette features 3D graphics, a new animation of the roulette wheel itself and an enhanced speed of play.

This will be a significant highlight of Merkur’s EAE presentation, as will the new linked progressive jackpots Link Zone (shown in the Avantgarde Max Trio cabinet) and Solar Link (featured on the stylish Allegro Trio cabinet) plus the innovative Merkur Mystery jackpot (pictured) that will display on the Avante Trio cabinet that hosts a multiplicity of new multigame titles powered by the latest software and boasting a brand new player interface.
