Driving Innovation into the Grand Finale

As 2025 draws to a close and autumn fully sets in, things are anything but quiet at Merkur Gaming. Following a successful appearance at the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, the company is already turning its attention to the next industry highlight: the Balkan Entertainment & Gaming Expo (BEGE) in Sofia. On 26 and 27 November, more than 5,000 trade visitors from around 80 countries are expected at the Inter Expo Centre to find out about the latest developments in the international gaming industry – and, of course, to experience Merkur Gaming’s diverse product portfolio.

As one of the leading exhibitors, Merkur Gaming is once again heading to the Bulgarian capital with an impressive range of products in tow. Taking centre stage are two thrilling linked progressive jackpot systems – Link Overdrive and Link Palace – which promise pure excitement thanks to their captivating themes and dynamic features, serving as true guarantors of gaming enjoyment. Also in the spotlight are the multigame packages M-Prime and M-Line, which perfectly complement each other, impress with their comprehensive games library, and cater seamlessly to every type of player.

Other crowd favourites from the German gaming giant are also making their debut at BEGE: Both the brand-new jackpot system Spire in the Clouds, which allows players to choose between five different heroes and territories to create a tailor-made adventure, and the Dragor jackpot feature – which has been delivering outstanding results in Germany since its launch – proved extremely popular at G2E and will also be showcased in Sofia. The trade fair line-up will be rounded off by the cash-handling experts from GeWeTe, who will be present on the BEGE show floor in the usual manner to display their machine-compatible solutions for the validation, dispensing, and recycling of banknotes and coins.

Marcel Heutmekers, Senior Vice President Merkur Games International, is looking forward to BEGE, which traditionally marks the conclusion of the trade fair calendar each year: “I’m excited to participate in BEGE with Merkur Gaming and to connect with our partners and customers from across the region. It’s the perfect stage to share our passion for gaming entertainment and to show how the player is at the heart of everything we do. With the latest Merkur jackpot systems and multigame packages, we are bringing the full spectrum of gaming excitement to Sofia.”
