Croatia – Merkur hosts in-house exhibition in Zagreb
By Phil - 19 December 2017
For the first time, the team from Merkur Gaming presented an in-house exhibition in Croatia. Numerous customers from Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro took advantage of 6 December to inform themselves about the latest product highlights from Merkur Gaming and four other exhibiting companies at Zagreb’s Hotel International.
At the same time, the Hotel International hosted a meeting of HUPIS (Hrvatska udruga priredivada igara na srecu), the Croatian vending machine association, which was sponsored by Merkur Gaming. Many association members took advantage of the opportunity to also pay a visit to Merkur Gaming’s in-house exhibition.
Summing up, Igor Budinlic, Sales Manager Croatia, said: “We are very happy with the feedback from our customers and the association members. We were not expecting such a positive response to our first in-house exhibition in Croatia. So we are all the more delighted that it was such a huge success.”
Highlights at Merkur Gaming’s in-house exhibition included the Avantgarde Trio, the Evostar – presented for the first time in the Balkan region – as well as the Avantgarde Trio in the Black Series. Also on display to the approximately 60 visitors were the Avantgarde and Merkurstar cabinet models. A further focus was Merkur Gaming’s broad range of games with over 100 to choose from. Particularly popular on the Croatian market was Zentaurus, which is based on Greek mythology, fruity-fresh Multi Wild and Eye of Horus, which with its Egyptian hero counts among Merkur Gaming’s top games.
In addition to Merkur Gaming, the other exhibiting companies at the in-house exhibition in Croatia were Agt Plus with its casino management system with jackpot system and an electric roulette, EEP Casino with the Xlivebet Terminal, Ensico also with a casino management system and MGR with high-quality casino chairs.
“The in-house exhibition in Zagreb provided us with an opportunity to showcase Merkur Gaming’s enormous potential,” said Christian Wiechert, Managing Director Merkur Gaming Croatia. “We presented our latest software versions and were also able to provide a clear outlook on 2018. Our customers know that with Merkur they are investing in a successful future.”
Directly after the in-house exhibition, a get-together was held at Merkur Casino Atlanta, which also belongs to the Gauselmann Group. This underscored how Merkur Gaming benefits from the group’s experience as an operator. As a manufacturer and operator, the Gauselmann Group is in a permanent process of market observation. The Research and Development department is in constant contact with a Market Development department attached to Sales and with the company’s in-house Operating division.
