G2E Las Vegas – Merkur Gaming brings a games landscape to G2E
By Phil - 28 September 2017
Merkur Gaming will present a century line-up of 100 games at G2E, displayed on its Avantgarde and its latest Avantgarde Trio, Merkurstar, the Evostar and Black Series cabinets.
These units will present, in primarily single but also multi-game formats, a game range that will vibrantly demonstrate the huge strides that Merkur Gaming has taken in producing exciting and enthralling top of the lines game themes that will meet and even exceed the expectations of players from across the entire spectrum of casino floor attractions.
Predicted to be the ‘star of the show’ in terms of engineering excellence and highest quality will be the latest addition to the Merkur Gaming cabinet portfolio, the Evostar. As its Evo title suggests, Evostar has a shared innovation heritage with both the already hugely successful Avantgarde, Avantgarde Trio and Merkurstar models; being an unique hybrid service-friendly upright with the added player comfort factor of a slant top player position. Providing an added player attraction, Evostar also features a built-in USB port that allows guests to conveniently charge their mobile devices, free of charge, as they play.
The games that these cabinets will show will display suites grouped into Random Lines, Asian themes, Fruits & Sevens, Egyptian and Space Age themes, as well as some brand new standout games that will be making their G2E and world debuts. Without doubt, there will be games to suit every taste: games from A- Z, Achilla to Zentaurus, and so much more besides.
The Merkur Gaming booth will also feature displays from across the entire Gauselmann Group. Cash handling experts GeWeTe will show a range of innovations from across their wide range of solutions, sports betting maestros Cashpoint, the betting professionals, will illustrate their many areas of activity and their established excellence in sports betting entertainment. Based in Hamburg, Germany, edict egaming GmbH is the online gaming arm of the Gauselmann Group, a market leader and true innovative trendsetter holding multiple licenses in various markets and who will present the edict Game Solution, via which the popular Merkur games are marketed internationally for online casinos and betting operators.
In keeping with the Gauselmann Group’s hugely significant position on corporate social responsibility, specifically in support of the protection of minors and measures to deal with problem gambling, there will be on-booth demonstration of the innovative Face Check, a contactless admission control system based on biometric facial features: currently the only system that allows youth protection without the need to present documents.
