Leading gaming company MERKUR Slots has opened a £200K entertainment centre on Coppice Way – creating 10 new local jobs in the process.
The opening is part of a nationwide programme that will see MERKUR Slots invest over £5 million on UK high streets over the next 12 months to open new venues, support local economies and create new jobs.
Mark Schertle, COO of MERKUR Slots’ parent company MERKUR Casino UK, said: “We pride ourselves on our continued investment in UK high streets, and so it means a lot to be able to support the local community and economy in Chelmsley Wood through the creation of these new jobs. Every new venue we open creates an average of 10 new local jobs and we have already generated over 600 jobs across the UK in the last 12 months through developing existing venues and opening new ones.”
The new Coppice Way venue features the latest bingo and digital slot machines, with the emphasis firmly on low stake gaming and pay-outs ranging from £5 to £500, and an extensive library of new and classic games. Customers also receive unlimited free refreshments.
“Our aim with this new state-of-the-art entertainment centre is to give both new and existing customers a unique gaming experience in an environment that reflects the scale of the investment. I’m sure those visiting over the next few days and weeks will be as excited about this new MERKUR Slots venue as I am,” added Mark.

TaDa to Participate in MAC Yerevan Summit
TaDa Gaming is going to participate in MAC Yerevan summit, one of the industry’s most influential gatherings for affiliate marketing and online gaming professionals, this 26-27 May.
With a strategic plan to: expand its footprint in Eastern and Eurasian markets; strengthen its partner and affiliate network; and demonstrate its 240+ portfolio of performance-driven content and award-winning gamification tools, TaDa will host live demonstrations, interactive play and one-to-one meetings at Stand G10.
In addition, the team will reveal TaDa’s seamless API integration capabilities, data-driven performance insights across key markets and the flexible collaboration models that make TaDa a valuable partner.
Speeding up successful outcomes in the conversion funnel is also critical. TaDa’s approach to Eastern and Eurasian markets has seen the provider expand from a supplier role into a “Growth Partner” for operators.
This has turned TaDa products into high-performance engines for traffic acquisition and business results and seen the company take the award for Game Studio of the Year 2026 at AIBC Eurasia.
Access to high growth markets across the region has been further enhanced by TaDa’s raft of gaming licences including the Romanian ONJN, UKGC and MGA and new player acquisition channels have already opened up for the ambitious content provider.
Visitors to Stand G10 will also be able to discover how TaDa combines its premium product content with integrated marketing strategies to optimise this traffic to amplify brand recognition and player engagement and retention; and to scale affiliate revenue engines.
Ray Lee, Director of Business Development at TaDa Gaming, said: “Our focus is on delivering content that performs. MAC Yerevan provides the ideal environment to connect with forward-thinking operators and affiliates who are looking for scalable, revenue-generating solutions.
“From our unique fish-shooting titles, trademarked slot series and award-winning Crash games, we are delivering next gen gaming that is shaping the future of iGaming. We welcome everyone to visit Stand G10 and find out more.”
