5 facts about MERKUR

The first gaming machine developed in-house was approved by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in December 1976 after several years of development. It was named “ MERKUR B ”. It was an instant success, and guests immediately experienced more gaming enjoyment thanks to the opportunity to win free games in one go.

With the acquisition of the American jukebox AMI-B from 1948, the Gauselmann family began a collection of machines in 1985 that later became the German Vending Machine Museum . The German Vending Machine Museum does not operate as a company museum, but rather as an industry museum that documents the development of vending machines from the 19th century to the present day. The AMI-B offered space for 20 shellac records and, through the glass panels on the sides of the machine, visitors could look inside.

MERKUR now generates around 60 percent of its revenue abroad. International expansion began in the early 1990s. Today, not only are its games available internationally, but there are also arcades, casinos, sports betting and online offerings in numerous countries.
