The large number of visitors at the ATEI exceeded the expectations of Axel F. Pawlas, CSO MERKUR GAMING, and his team by far. Customers from more than 20 countries in Europe but also South America, USA, and Africa attended. "The bigger stand surface allowed us to even better present the innovations from our comprehensive product offer. The interest in our machines was overwhelming. Furthermore, we were able to establish many interesting new contacts during the three trade show days that make us optimistic for the future."

Above all the interactive jackpot system 'Treasure Mania' from MERKUR GAMING was in the center of attention. With its multicolor effects the innovative jackpot attracts great interest and is surely an eye-catcher in any location. Thanks to the sophisticated plexiglass design the jackpot can in addition be offered at an attractive price-benefit ratio and is therefore not only interesting for casino operators.

The international innovations in the field of amusement with prize (AWP) machines, 'Alhambra' and 'Secrets of India', in their modern casino cabinets as well as the new multi-game 'Games Unlimited' for the Czech market captured the visitors. Just like the other innovations, 'Happy Dice,' the first reel machine by MERKUR GAMING for Hungary with multiple dice features as well as 'Volcano', offered as attractive dual unit for the Dutch market. Specifically for the UK market MERKUR GAMING offers 'Criss Cross Runner,' which was developed by MEGA for the 'Section 16' category and can also be adjusted for the future category B3.

MERKUR GAMING also exhibited a new version of the classic multiplayer Merkur Roulette, 'Merkur Roulette Topless Version.' This roulette version was specifically designed without crown for locations with low ceilings. The design makes it extremely flexible and it can consequently be used with totally different interior design styles.

In the field of entertainment for children MERKUR GAMING not only impressed with many new machines. True to the motto 'One-Stop-Shopping' the Gauselmann Group also offers integrated concepts for the operation of Kiddie Rides such as the 'Kids Zone' with appealing illumination for the presentation of two Kiddie Rides. In addition, there are the Disney islands for inside or outdoor operation that can accommodate up to 4 Disney machines. Antonio Hita de la Plata from the company Interibi, Spain: "The new Disney licensed Kiddie Rides 'Princess Dream' and 'Lightning McQueen' are unique! They are absolutely in sync with the themes that kids love today! Furthermore we profit from the large-scale Disney PR concerning the two themes. MERKUR GAMING developed their first Disney products with loving attention to detail in connection with their customary reliable adp technology."

The improvement of the MERKUR GAMING touchscreen 'Trendy Blue Motion' fascinated the visitors because of its attractive illumination and 19" monitor - for more convenience and higher touch safety. Of course the classic 'Airhockey Typhoon' did not miss in London. Similar to the previous years it was always surrounded by a big crowd proving its great popularity.

Just as successful for MERKUR GAMING was the trade show presentation at the International Trade Fair for Amusement and Vending Machines (IMA), which for the first time took place in Düsseldorf from 16 to 18 January 2007. "We were especially happy about the unexpectedly high number of visitors from all of Europe, in particular from Eastern Europe and the Netherlands, but also from Spain and Italy," says Axel F. Pawlas, CSO MERKUR GAMING. In Düsseldorf MERKUR GAMING exhibited their products in the typical design of the MERKUR CASINO arcades at the stand of the Gauselmann Group. The unique interior design concept of MERKUR CASINO as well as a glance of the fascinating theme worlds of the international Gauselmann presentations fascinated the many visitors.
