Merkur Group to Exhibit its Gaming Innovations at G2E in Las Vegas
Merkur Group has confirmed its participation at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) 2025 in Las Vegas.
From October 7 to 9, 2025, the internationally successful gaming expert from Germany, together with its sister companies and strategic partners, will exhibit its extensive portfolio of premium jackpot systems, captivating games, and state-of-the-art cabinets at stands 3353 and 3650.
“The G2E has long been one of the most important industry events for the Merkur Group – especially because it provides us with an ideal opportunity to welcome our international customers, in particular from Latin America, into the Merkur World and to foster personal interaction. Since receiving our manufacturing and distribution license for the State of Nevada just a few months ago, the show has taken on even greater significance for us. I am confident that G2E will play a key role in strengthening existing relationships, establishing promising new contacts, and driving our business activities in the North- and South American market with a future-oriented approach,” said Dominik Raasch, Management Board Member of Merkur Games.
This will be achieved in part through an impressive product showcase, the centerpiece of which will undoubtedly be the company’s latest content portfolio. Among the highlights, the German gaming powerhouse will present the Link Overdrive jackpot system – first unveiled at ICE 2025 – which has been winning over players with its high-frequency Jackpot feature, free games with additional Diamond Reels, and its distinctive Big Reel feature. Another standout is the brand-new Link Palace Linked Progressive Jackpot System. Featuring a total of four different games, it invites guests into diverse gaming worlds where they can encounter Wild Reels, Free Spins, and Symbol Boosts as they play for substantial rewards.
Having become a true player favorite in its home market of Germany – thanks in large part to its thrilling Hold & Spin Mechanic – the Jackpot Feature Dragor is now set to make its international debut as Merkur Gaming brings this highly popular, adrenaline-charged System to the global stage. Another promising content highlight in the German company’s portfolio will be the successful M-Prime multigame package. Distinguished by its clear, user-friendly menu design and highly intuitive player interface, M-Prime also delivers an even more immersive gaming experience through the addition of new game titles, harmonized soundscapes, and cohesive win animations.
Merkur Gaming will highlight its content creations on its latest cabinet family, Mod Ex. This innovative line stands out for its unique modularity, enabling customers to configure the monitor, body, and base entirely according to their operational needs and the preferences of their players. At G2E, the Mod Ex 332 and Mod Ex J55 will be on display. In addition, Merkur Gaming will feature its content on the internationally acclaimed Zonic Trio, which continues to impress operators and players alike with its ergonomically arranged 31.5-inch Full HD screens.
As in previous years, Merkur Gaming will be joined by additional subsidiaries and strategic partners of the Merkur Group at the booth with the iconic laughing sun. Building on last year’s success – Gaming Arts presented itself together with Merkur Gaming at a joint stand for the first time at G2E 2024 – the Las Vegas-based partner will once again be part of the expansive Merkur World. Among others, Gaming Arts will showcase its two brand-new products, “Glory of Giza” and “Eternal Riches”, at this year’s fair. Each title features two individual games, presented on the Mod Ex J55, delivering fresh and exciting content for operators’ gaming floors.
Moreover, the cash handling experts from GeWeTe will make an impression in Las Vegas with their machine-optimized solutions for banknote and coin validation, dispensing, and recycling, while the software supplier Bede Gaming will give guests exciting insights into its high-performance gaming platform. Also returning to the Merkur exhibition space is strategic partner and Slovenian ETG specialist Spintec, showcasing an extensive portfolio of electronic table games. Their latest Charisma line features a diverse range of automated, virtual/video, and live games, including Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps, and Sic Bo. Recognized as the Best ETG in Asia and proven to be a top-performing ETG in Western Europe and LATAM, Charisma has set new benchmarks for excellence in electronic table gaming.
“The anticipation for G2E is immense. Engaging with industry colleagues, customers, and long-standing partners during the event, and presenting our latest product developments in such a distinguished setting, is a valuable opportunity for us every year. I am confident that G2E 2025 will once again be a resounding success – not only for us but for the entire industry,” says Dominik Raasch.

Michael Jordan, Carsten Koerl and Jason Robins to Open SBC Summit 2026
SBC Summit 2026 will host one of the most high-profile keynote sessions ever staged in Europe by bringing together three of the most influential figures in global sports business: Basketball icon, investor, and philanthropist Michael Jordan, Sportradar founder and CEO Carsten Koerl, and DraftKings co-founder, CEO, and chairman of the board Jason Robins, hosted by former Sky Sports News presenter, broadcaster, and journalist, Kirsty Gallacher.
The headline keynote, titled “Leadership in Sports Business,” will take place on Tuesday 29 September on the first day of SBC Summit 2026 in Lisbon and will explore the evolution of sports, technology, media, data, and fan engagement through the perspective of three leaders who have helped shape the modern sports ecosystem.
As part of the discussion, the connection between sports betting and iGaming will be examined, highlighting how the two sectors are increasingly operating in parallel and in collaboration. Broader leadership themes will also be explored including building global businesses at scale, decision‑making under pressure, and how leaders navigate change across fast‑moving sports and technology markets.
SBC CEO and Founder Rasmus Sojmark described the session as a defining moment for the event.
“This is the kind of conversation that transcends our industry. To have Michael Jordan, Carsten Koerl, and Jason Robins on stage together is something truly special. These are individuals who have each changed the way people engage with sports and business in completely different ways — through performance, technology, innovation, and vision. Bringing them together at SBC Summit reflects both the scale of where this industry is today and where it is heading,” said Sojmark.
SBC Summit 2026 will take place in Lisbon and is expected to welcome over 40,000 industry professionals from across sports, betting, gaming, payments, marketing, affiliation, technology, and media.
Additional details regarding the keynote session, including timing and attendee access, will be announced in the coming months.
