Entry

Whether it's blackjack, poker , or roulette , your “entry” is your ticket to the game. You pay, and then you're officially in the running.

Eyes in the Sky

You can't see them, but they see everything: the camera systems in our MERKUR Casinos casinos. They're called “Eyes in the Sky,” and no, they're not there to catch people cheating. They ensure fairness, security, and transparency. So don't feel like you're being watched, feel like you're being protected. Because at the end of the day, we all want the same thing: an exciting, safe, and honest evening. And if someone is watching over us, all the better, right?

Expected Value

A term for math enthusiasts! It indicates how much profit (or loss) you can expect in the long term if you were to play a game a thousand times. Do you need to understand it? No. Should you? Perhaps. Can you appear knowledgeable with it? Definitely.
If you throw around phrases like “My EV on this hand was negative” during your next night at the casino, you're either a pro — or you just sound damn clever.

E as in...

Do you know what else starts with E and has to do with casinos? That's right, “events”! And we have plenty of those at our MERKUR Casinos – from exciting tournaments and theme nights to real highlight promotions. To make sure you don't miss anything, it pays to stay tuned!
