Merkur Brings Its Gaming Power to the Next Level at G2E Las Vegas

Full Shine in the City of Lights

Las Vegas is calling: as temperatures become milder, days grow shorter and the sun gives way to rain, not only is autumn approaching, but so too is G2E. From 28 September to 1 October, the who's who of the international gaming industry will gather at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas for the Global Gaming Expo (G2E). 

Numerous renowned gaming suppliers from around the world will be in attendance to present their latest multigame products and gaming innovations for international markets. As usual, Merkur will also be part of the action. 

At booths 3353 and 3650, the internationally successful German gaming specialist will showcase the full breadth and strength of the Group, with more innovative new products than ever before — from outstanding jackpot systems, captivating games and state-of-the-art cabinets.

'The 2025 edition of G2E was a particularly important milestone for us. With our distribution and manufacturing licence in hand and the acquisition of Gaming Arts completed, we were increasingly recognised not only as an established international supplier, but also as a genuine competitor and part of the US gaming market,' emphasises Dominik Raasch, Member of the Management Board, Merkur Games. 

'The positive response we received in Las Vegas has given us even greater momentum, and we are very much looking forward to returning to G2E this year with an even stronger portfolio and continuing to strengthen our position in the American market, which plays a central role in our international growth strategy.'

Merkur to showcase its broad product portfolio at G2E 2026

The Group's broad product portfolio will play a key role in this. Among other highlights, the gaming powerhouse will bring numerous Linked Progressives to the show floor, including Paw Link and Dimension Link, which made their debut at ICE 2026. At G2E, visitors will be given a first glimpse of Wish Paw and Voodoo Paw, the latest additions to Paw Link, featuring exciting new characters. 

These titles will be joined on the big stage by a wealth of further new Gaming Arts releases, including Wild Temple 2, Imperial River Temple, 7's Fire Blitz, Showtime and Mysteries of Atlantis. The gaming content will be rounded off by new releases such as Whirl Wins and Lion's Amulet, as well as the new Prime Line multigame package, which combines some of the most popular games from M-Line and M-Prime.

Of course, no content can truly shine without the right cabinet. The gaming giant will therefore showcase its games on the latest member of its cabinet family, Mod Ex. Its unique modularity allows customers to configure the monitor, console and base according to their individual requirements and the preferences of their players. In Las Vegas, Merkur will highlight the Mod Ex 332 and Mod Ex J55 variants from its existing portfolio, alongside a new Mod Ex facelift, which will be launched for the North American market. The new Upright cabinet features a 49-inch C-Curved screen and gives the established Mod Ex concept a fresh new look.

Following a successful G2E appearance last year and a strong showing at this year's ICE in Barcelona, both of which marked particularly important milestones for the company, Merkur is looking to build on that momentum in Las Vegas. To achieve this, the German-based gaming specialist is leveraging the strengths of its integrated Group companies and strategic partnerships. Cash-handling specialist GeWeTe is set to impress visitors in Las Vegas with its machine-compatible solutions for checking, dispensing and recycling banknotes and coins. On top of that, Spintec will also be represented at the booth, giving the trade audience an exclusive look at an extensive range of new ETG highlights. 

Alongside its best-selling Charisma, visitors can also look forward to the new Charisma Craps solution, an upgraded Baccarat solution with an expanded selection of side bets, and the Charisma Stand Alone multigame machine, which combines six virtual games in a compact footprint and showcases Spintec's innovative MultiView solution. Rounding off the offering, the Slovenian ETG specialist will present an exclusive tournament in a dynamic amphitheatre-style setup — just one of the numerous promotion activities with which Merkur will turn a booth visit into an experience and conversations into connections.

'G2E is an important stage for us to illustrate what defines the new Merkur and where we are heading. With a powerful portfolio combining the latest Gaming Arts titles, visually stunning Merkur games and Spintec's strong product offering, we are bringing the combined innovative strength of our Group to the show,' says Marcel Heutmekers, Senior Vice President Merkur Games International. 'The development we have seen over the past twelve months has been impressive, and in Las Vegas we want to demonstrate that this journey is far from over.'
