German gaming supplier Merkur will return to the Global Gaming Expo (G2E), running September 28 through October 1 at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas, with an expanded product lineup spanning jackpot systems, new game titles, and cabinet technology.
The company will occupy booths 3353 and 3650 during the event.
Merkur’s 2025 appearance at G2E, combined with a strong showing at this year’s ICE trade show in Barcelona, followed the completion of its acquisition of Gaming Arts and the securing of a distribution and manufacturing license — developments that position the company as a supplier within the US gaming market.
Dominik Raasch, member of the management board at Merkur Games, said the response the company received in Las Vegas last year has carried into this year’s plans.
“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,” Raasch said.
“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,” he added.
Linked progressives and new game titles
Among the products on display will be several Linked Progressive systems, including Paw Link and Dimension Link, both of which debuted at ICE 2026. Attendees at G2E will get an early look at Wish Paw and Voodoo Paw, additions to the Paw Link series featuring new characters.
The lineup also includes several Gaming Arts titles making their show debut: Wild Temple 2, Imperial River Temple, 7’s Fire Blitz, Showtime and Mysteries of Atlantis. Additional new releases include Whirl Wins and Lion’s Amulet, along with the Prime Line multigame package, which pairs titles from the M-Line and M-Prime libraries.
Cabinet technology gets a North American update
Merkur will present its games on the Mod Ex cabinet line, which allows operators to configure the monitor, console and base to suit individual venue and player preferences.
The company plans to display the Mod Ex 332 and Mod Ex J55 variants alongside a new Mod Ex facelift built for the North American market. The Upright cabinet variant includes a 49-inch C-Curved screen, an update to the existing Mod Ex design.
Group companies add cash handling and table game solutions
Merkur’s booth presence will also include contributions from its affiliated companies. GeWeTe, the group’s cash-handling division, will present machine-compatible solutions for checking, dispensing and recycling banknotes and coins.
Spintec, a Slovenian electronic table game (ETG) supplier, will present several new products, including an upgrade to its Charisma platform. The additions include a Charisma Craps solution, an updated Baccarat offering with an expanded set of side bets, and the Charisma Stand Alone multigame unit, which houses six virtual games and uses Spintec’s MultiView display technology.
Spintec also plans to host a tournament at the booth in an amphitheater-style setup as part of its presence at the show.
“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,” said Marcel Heutmekers, senior vice president of 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,” Heutmekers added.
