Spielo ABC: Letters A to D

Action Game s are a game mechanic featured in MERKUR games. In selected titles, achieving a top success gives you the option of choosing Action Games instead of taking the success directly. During the feature, a wheel of fortune spins, with segments containing 0 bits, 1,000 bits or additional Action Games.

Atmosphere is one of our highest priorities. That’s why all MERKUR Arcades follow the same interior design concept, allowing you to enjoy our gaming experience in the unmistakable MERKUR atmosphere.

Fans of Asian culture will definitely get their money’s worth with MERKUR: the MERKUR gaming world features numerous titles inspired by Asian themes. To discover them all, take a look at our Games Special: Asia .

Arcades are one thing that made MERKUR popular: Our first arcade opened 1974 in Delmenhorst, Lower Saxony, Germany. Since then, MERKUR Arcades grew up to more than 250 locations only in Germany and hundreds more spreaded in Europe.

With bank bits, you play your game after converting your deposit from euros into bank bits. Bank bits are displayed in increments of 100, meaning that €1.00 is converted into 100 bank bits.

Successes are also credited to you as bank bits before you can convert them back into euros and cash them out.

In some of our MERKUR Arcades, you can also enjoy a game of billiards. To find out which arcades near you offer billiards, simply look out for the billiards symbol in the location details within the location finder .

BiöG is the german abbreviation for the Federal Institute of Public Health (in German: Bundesinstitut für Öffentliche Gesundheit). On the website www.bioeg.de , you can find support services and information on addiction prevention, including help for individuals displaying problematic gambling behaviour.

The term Bulls Eye (or: bullseye) is used primarily in MERKUR Arcades that offer darts. The bullseye is the red centre of the dartboard and scores 50 points when hit.

Cash is still required in a MERKUR Arcade to make deposits on the slot machines. Your successes, as well as the cash balance stored on the machine, are also paid out in cash.

The check-in is your first step when entering a MERKUR Arcade. At the reception desk, we verify your age by checking your ID and compare your details against the OASIS exclusion register. If you meet the age requirement and are not excluded, you will receive your activation card and can start playing.

In some of our MERKUR Arcades, we host cocktail events. To find out where and when a Cocktail Day is taking place, you can, for example, check the events on MERKUR.COM.

In some of our MERKUR Arcades, we also offer darts. For a small fee, you’ll receive a set of darts and be ready to get started. Play on your own or challenge a companion – the choice is yours. A game of darts is also a great way to pass the time while waiting for your favourite slot machine to become available.

The MERKUR Dispenser is a banknote management system that can accept, store and dispense banknotes. As a result, many machines no longer rely exclusively on coin payouts.

A dispenser consists of:

• A banknote reader (acceptor) for validating inserted banknotes
• A stacker/cassette for storing accepted banknotes
• A dispenser unit that can dispense the banknotes individually again.

The Double Feature can be found, for example, in the feature Queen of the Ocean . If the middle reel is filled with shells across its full height, meaning all three positions, the Double Feature is triggered, opening an additional feature on the upper screen. If the middle reel on this reel set is also completely filled with shells, you advance to the Triple Feature, where a third feature reel set is activated. If you achieve a full-screen reel display, you are additionally awarded up to 100 Action Games .
