The Gauselmann Group is one of the first gaming machine developers in Germany to be granted a licence for virtual slots.
The group filed its application for permission to offer virtual slot machine games with the Saxony-Anhalt State Administration Office in July this year and has now been authorised to offer its games online in Germany under the Merkur Spiel brand.
Markus Ettlin (pictured), management spokesperson for Merkur Sportwetten, said: “We have been waiting in the wings for some time with our range of virtual slot machine games under the Merkur Spiel brand. So we are all the more enthusiastic that we can now offer our online players the chance to enjoy the same Merkur classics that have been played millions of times at our bricks-and-mortar venues. This approval is an important and big step for us towards becoming the best omni-channel provider in the whole of Europe.”
"The development of games content for both the land-based and online segments has been one of the core competencies of the Gauselmann Group for many years. At a total of 13 locations worldwide, gaming specialists develop highly innovative games and game systems based on current market and customer trends, thus always striking the right chord with gaming enthusiasts. While international gaming has long been at home in the digital world, now the German online gaming market is also able to benefit from the innovative games developments of the Gauselmann Group."
