Merkur is one of Germany’s best-known gaming brands. Its machines are a familiar sight in German arcades, and its online slots bring the same classic, straightforward style to casinos across Europe.

About Merkur

Merkur belongs to the Gauselmann Group, founded by Paul Gauselmann in 1957 and based in Espelkamp, Germany. The group builds gaming machines, runs arcades and owns several online studios, including the UK developer BluePrint Gaming.

Popular Merkur Games

  • Double Triple Chance – a classic fruit game.
  • Magic Mirror – a fairy-tale slot with free spins.
  • Blazing Star – fast, simple and colourful.
  • Fruitinator – a modern take on fruit slots.

Features and Style

Merkur games are typically simple: few paylines, classic symbols, free spins and a risk feature where you can gamble a win. They suit players who like traditional arcade-style slots more than complex modern mechanics.
