Merkur Gaming and Reel Games have installed over 20 multigamers at the Jade Casino in Trinidad and Tobago. Merkur says that all gaming machines include the proven Linked Progressives Link Zone, as well as Link Zone II, Solar Link, Merkur Mystery, and the Red Pocket Jackpot.
“With this modern offering, Merkur Gaming and Reel Games elevate the gaming experience in the Caribbean to a whole new level,” the company said in a press statement. Merkur has also called its partner “a leading distributor of slot machines, multiplayer roulette terminals, and progressive jackpot systems in the United States for decades.”
The two companies entered into a distribution partnership at the beginning of last year, whereby Florida-based Reel Games is responsible for marketing and servicing Merkur Gaming products in Central America and the Caribbean.
The Latin American and Caribbean gambling market is already familiar territory for Merkur Gaming. “With Reel Games as a strong and reliable partner by our side, we are able to further expand and strengthen our business activities in the Caribbean with a focus on the future,” said Tomás Mieles, Business Development Manager of Casino Spain and Sales Coordinator Latin America at Merkur Gaming.
Sean Smith, President and Founder of Reel Games, added: “We are incredibly proud and grateful to introduce the new highlights from the Merkur Gaming portfolio to the Caribbean gaming market.
“I am confident that these will achieve great success and receive tremendous acclaim from the players. The fact that we were able to achieve such a comprehensive setup in our collaboration is a great proof for the success of our partnership.”
Allan Bhagan, co-owner of the Jade Monkey Restaurant and Casino, added: “For more than two years, we have been actively searching for new and innovative products to make the gaming experience in our casino even more attractive and enjoyable. Thanks to the diverse product portfolio of Merkur Gaming, we are now able to provide the most varied and attractive gaming and jackpot offering of the past 20 years.”
Currently, over 20 countries in the Caribbean have legalized gambling. Around 22,000 slot machines and 1,280 gaming tables have been deployed in approximately 160 different casinos in the Caribbean. A recently established gambling commission is responsible for issuing casino licenses, whereas they were previously only issued for private member clubs for a long time.
