Slots are at the heart of Merkur’s output, in 3-reel and 5-reel formats with many themes, bonus features and payline options. Scatter and wild symbols in most games unlock bonus rounds packed with free spins and other extras, and payout rates are strong.

The company has also developed its own technology:

• Avantgarde Trio: HD visuals paired with rich, powerful sound
• Treasure Link: a progressive system that connects the jackpots of five slots and leads players into a cash game with five different progressive jackpots to win
• Merkur Mystery: a jackpot system with three or four levels

Merkur slots that are popular at online casinos include Magic Mirror Deluxe 2, Salmon Catch and Dreaming Island.

More than 200 Merkur games run in land-based and online casinos, and new titles arrive regularly. Three examples:

Merkur builds its slots with proven Flash and HTML5 technology, so they run on desktop computers, phones and tablets alike. On mobile, players simply open a game for instant play, and every title is optimised for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets.

Many casinos feature Merkur slots in free spins offers and other promotions. For more control, operators can add our standalone bonus system, with tournaments, loyalty points and other configurable rewards that support retention.

Merkur Gaming is licensed in many jurisdictions, including the UK, Serbia and Spain, and holds licences from the Malta Gaming Authority, the UK Gambling Commission and the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. Regulators test its software regularly for fairness and security, and the company uses current security systems to protect player data and transactions.

Merkur Gaming and the Gauselmann Group have collected many awards over the years. The most recent is CHIP magazine’s Digital Innovator of the Year 2022.
