Merkur Gaming Prepares For Peru Gaming Show
Merkur Gaming’s presentation in Lima will once again be the focal point of the Peru Gaming Show. For what is widely regarded as one of the international expo calendar’s best events Merkur Gaming Americas is confident of hitting top form at the Peru Gaming Show. Being held in Peru’s capital city, Lima on June 19th and 20th and in the Jockey Exhibition Centre, Merkur Gaming will once again be the event’s largest exhibitor and will underline the brands success of 2018 and the further progress now being made in 2019.
A significant milestone was reached last year as Merkur Gaming Peru recorded 3,760 machines in operation on Peru’s slot floors. From the country’s 731 licensed gaming halls Merkur Gaming is installed and working in 84.9% of 621 locations: an all-time record, so far. Merkur Gaming is a respected, top level, tier one brand in Peruvian gaming and the company records its high appreciation for the trust, loyalty and support of all of Peru’s leading operators.
One of the biggest elements of the Merkur success story in Peru to date has been the international smash hit, the Avantgarde Powerhouse multi game machine. That model, together with its upright counterpart, the Evostar Trio, will feature on Merkur’s booth (number 49) in Lima as will the now famous Merkur Beer Garden hospitality area that has been redesigned and enlarged, to cater for demand, this year. That area, in terms of both its popularity and its location directly opposite the expo’s main entrance, will ensure that Merkur will be the focal point of the entire show.
Charles Hiten, CEO Merkur Gaming Americas, commented: “Peru is one of the most significant markets in Latin America for Merkur Gaming. To be now, after just a few short years, active in 85% of the country’s licensed gaming operations is a testament to our Merkur Gaming Peru team and to the strength of our brand and our made in Germany products. As we continue to bring new and exciting games and cabinets to market we are fully committed to providing operators with all the support that they need as well meeting Peru’s ever increasingly sophisticated and knowledgeable players’ wish for ever greater levels of gaming entertainment. We look forward once again to Peru Gaming Show and to welcoming all our customers, business partners and visitors.”
Tomas Mieles, Sales Director Merkur Gaming Latin America, added: “I am, I believe justifiably, proud of what the Merkur Gaming Peru team has achieved to date. We are in the Peruvian market for the long term and we are confident of further expansion and success in the future. We can be sure that Peru Gaming Show 2019 will mark another hugely positive milestone in our development.”

SlotMatrix unleashes the wild riches of 20 Armadillos

SlotMatrix, the world’s largest casino content aggregator, proudly announces the launch of 20 Armadillos, a thrilling new slot adventure set deep in a jungle where fortunes roll wild.
In this untamed land, the Armadillos and their fierce animal allies guard treasures waiting to be uncovered. Players spin the reels as claws of luck and paws of fortune guide them towards potential big wins, daring them to crack the shell of jungle secrets and claim the rewards within.
20 Armadillos is a 5-reel, 4-row slot with 20 lines, medium-high volatility and RTP options of 94.16% and 96.96%. With a maximum multiplier of 30,000x and a responsive, mobile-first design, the game blends rich visuals with high win potential.
The game’s feature set is as wild as its setting. Landing Wild Symbols triggers Wild Respins, extending the action and paving the way to the Bonus Game, where Wilds transform into Armadillo Credits with random cash values.
Prizepot mechanics give players the chance to collect Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega wins, while filling the board unlocks the ultimate Grand Prizepot.
Pick Enhancement Accumulation allows players to build up powerful modifiers over time, unlocking even more rewards when Free Spins begin.
In the Pre-Free Spins Picks phase, collected enhancements such as global multipliers, payout boosts, extra credits, and sticky animals create a truly personalised bonus round.
The Free Spins bonus doubles down on excitement with Both Ways Pay and Animals Double Feature, combining sticky animals, extra spins, and double-win mechanics for massive payouts.
20 Armadillos is exclusively available through SlotMatrix. As with all SlotMatrix titles, the game is enhanced by EveryMatrix’s proprietary gamification features, including free spins and leaderboards, and can be integrated with EngageSuite, the all-in-one player loyalty solution.
Bjorn Sjoberg, COO, SlotMatrix, said: “With 20 Armadillos, we’re showcasing how layered gameplay, vibrant storytelling, and innovative mechanics can captivate players.
“From the jungle-themed prizepots to double-paying animal features, 20 Armadillos delivers an experience to remember for players worldwide.”
