The new entertainment centre has opened in Broadmead in Bristol
MERKUR Slots has opened a new venue as part of a wider £5m UK investment programme, with further venue expansion planned across the country.
The £400,000 entertainment centre in Broadmead in Bristol, will boost local employment with 10 new job role opportunities.
Mark Schertle, chief operating officer at MERKUR Slots’ parent company MERKUR Casino UK, said: “We’re delighted to officially open our new Broadmead venue and create 10 new job opportunities for the local community. Investment in new venues remains a major focus for us and this latest opening reflects our continued confidence in high street locations across the UK.”
“Every new venue we open creates an average of 10 jobs and, over the past 12 months alone, we have supported more than 600 roles nationwide through new venue openings and continued investment in our existing locations.”
The Broadmead venue features the latest digital slot machines and bingo games, offering a mix of classic titles and new releases in a modern gaming environment.
Mark added: “We’re incredibly proud of the finished venue and look forward to welcoming customers through the doors in the weeks ahead.”
The MERKUR Community, a programme launched in January 2024, is dedicated to supporting non-for-profit organisations, clubs, and events in areas where the company operates, working closely with local groups to identify areas where they can make a positive impact on the lives of local residents.
Since its launch in 2024, the programme, funded by MERKUR and voluntary donations from its customers from venues across the UK, has donated £308,131.47 to 194 groups, including 3 corporate partnerships.
