Dominik Raasch, Member of the Management Board at Merkur Games, said the partnership with Gaming Arts was increasingly evident in the companies’ products and the way their teams work together.
“Last year’s G2E marked a new beginning for Merkur in North America. At the time, much of the focus was on the potential of joining forces with Gaming Arts. Twelve months later, we can see that potential increasingly taking shape in our products, our processes and, above all, in the way our teams work together,” he said.
“This year’s G2E demonstrated the tremendous potential that exists across our entire group of companies and the response we received confirms that we are moving in the right direction.”
For casino players, the most notable part of the line-up was the new Gaming Arts game content. Merkur highlighted Wild Temple 2, a follow-up to the Wild Temple series, alongside Showtime, a wheel-style game with a black-and-white presentation that changes to colour. Other games shown included Imperial River Temple, 7’s Fire Blitz and Mysteries of Atlantis.
The company also presented additions to its Paw Link linked-progressive slots range. Wish Paw and Voodoo Paw use Hold and Spin mechanics, expanding reels and persistence-style features, according to Merkur. Dimension Link, Whirl Wins, Lion’s Amulet and the Prime Line multigame package were also on display. Merkur did not provide RTP figures, volatility ratings, maximum-win information or release dates for the games.
The Mod Ex C49 was introduced as a cabinet aimed at the North American market. It has a 49-inch curved display and joins the existing Mod Ex 332 and Mod Ex J55 models. Merkur said the cabinet combines its hardware with Gaming Arts content.
The Las Vegas appearance follows a regulatory and corporate milestone for Merkur in the US. The Nevada Gaming Commission approved Merkur Gaming US’s manufacturer and distributor licences, as well as the transfer of Gaming Arts, in May 2025, subject to conditions. The Gaming Arts acquisition closed in September 2025.s.
