Expansion in the sign of the MERKUR sun

Espelkamp. From now on two new Merkur suns will shine in Europe in neighboring Slovakia. MERKUR CASINO, a subsidiary of the German-based Gauselmann Group, operates its modern entertainment centers in Slovakia under the brand name MERKUR SPIELO.

The new MERKUR SPIELO in the city of ZILINA (population 85,000) in the Northwest of Slovakia is located in a modern shopping center of the Max chain and offers its patrons 24 multi-games, including Games Unlimited that was specially developed for the Slovak market by the sister company MERKUR GAMING, 12 video lottery terminals as well as the multi-player Merkur Roulette on a total surface of 290 sqm.

SKALICA is located in the West of Slovakia, close to the border to the Czech Republic. Here, too, MERKUR CASINO uses the opportunity to be present with an attractive entertainment center in a newly built Max shopping center. The new location features a total of 30 multi-games, naturally including the success guarantor Games Unlimited by MERKUR GAMING, 12 video lottery terminals as well as the long time favorite multi-player Merkur Roulette.
Both of the MERKUR SPIELO locations are open 24/7.

MERKUR CASINO has had a footprint in Slovakia since 2006. The two new operations in Zilina and Skalica increase the number of MERKUR CASINO entertainment centers in the country to six.

The Gauselmann Group that proudly looked back to its 50 year old history in 2007 currently operates a total of approximately 300 entertainment centers in all of Europe. In FY 2007 the family-managed Group generated aggregate consolidated revenues of more than EUR 1 billion. The Gauselmann Group employs more than 5,700 people worldwide and is the only company in the German amusement machine industry to be certified according to ISO DIN EN 9001:2000. The friendly smiling MERKUR sun has meanwhile become a symbol of luck and much appreciated guarantee for innovative leisure time culture in 11 European countries including Germany.
