With positive regulation now emerging from the Netherlands, notably in the field of online gambling, the big German group has been able to benefit from its long establishment in the Dutch market with a stand for its edict subsidiary.

Merkur Gaming was there, alongside edict eGaming and GeWeTe. Dirk Sondermann of Merkur Gaming (centre of the picture) said: “We had good discussions with many customers, especially about our new Zonic slot machine for the Dutch arcades.

"This unique cabinet with its very good ergonomics and the new game package with the new Five game feature was very well received by our customers.

"In addition, discussions were also held with our many pub customers. They are already looking forward to our own next exhibition for the pub sector that will be held on July 4 in the Van der Valk Hotel, Sassenheim.”

Aristidis Tsikouras, CEO of GeWeTe, the cash handling sister company of Merkur, said: “This was a great opportunity for GeWeTe. We would like to thank the organisers for a great event, for the informative conference presentations and for the possibility for us to meet with important personalities from the gaming industry in Holland.

"The Dutch gaming market has always been an important part of GeWeTe and not just because our company is geographically close to the Netherlands. Our extensive range of products and our solutions meet all needs for arcades, gastronomy and also for casinos.”
