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.”

Arizona Department of Gaming Investigation into Illegal Gambling Leads to Record-Breaking Firearms Seizure
Arizona Department of Gaming (“ADG”) Intelligence Agents, with aid from the Arizona Department of Public Safety (“AZDPS”), successfully concluded an investigation into an alleged illegal gambling operation involving gun raffles in Tucson, Arizona.
This operation resulted in the arrest of two (2) individuals, who face multiple felony charges, and the seizure of four hundred and fifty-two (452) firearms, plus ammunition, firearm accessories, over $4000 in cash, and bank accounts.
“Record-breaking seizures like this only further highlight the criminal activity that illegal gambling establishments attract when they go unregulated, posing a significant threat to public safety,” said Jackie Johnson, Director of the Arizona Department of Gaming. “I commend the exceptional work of our ADG Intelligence Unit for their unwavering dedication in investigating and addressing illegal gambling activities throughout the state. Their thorough and diligent efforts play a crucial role in protecting the public and ensuring compliance with Arizona’s gaming laws. I also want to extend my appreciation to our partners at the Arizona Department of Public Safety for their vital support during this enforcement operation.”
“I would like to congratulate the Arizona Department of Gaming on this sizable seizure of weapons and ammunition. Thanks to their efforts, two criminals are off the streets, and over 450 firearms are no longer available for criminal use.” Said Colonel Jeffrey Glover, Director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety. “I’m proud of the work done by my agency and we will continue to assist any law enforcement agency that requests our help. Collaboration between agencies in the State of Arizona is stronger today than ever, and the AZDPS will always be dedicated to those continued partnerships.”
Following this recent enforcement action, the Arizona Department of Gaming urges residents to exercise caution when conducting raffles, bingo, or other forms of social, amusement, or charitable gambling to ensure they are in full compliance with the law. ADG takes complaints about illegal gambling seriously. To report suspected illegal gambling activity, visit our website, call (602) 255-3886, or email [email protected]. You can remain anonymous.

21VIRAL Integrates Air Dice Group Games
21VIRAL, the Latin American-focused games aggregator and solution provider, has onboarded Air Dice Group’s games portfolio.
21VIRAL, which is creating a streamlined integration, onboarding and transparent pricing in the iGaming casino and game aggregation supply vertical, announced the onboarding of Air Dice Group today.
The distribution deal allows 21VIRAL access to Air Dice’s complete portfolio of content. Air Dice specialises in strategy-influenced money games, which are in high demand across Latin America.
Christoph Härtel, CEO of 21VIRAL, said: “Our business is customer-first, and building out a great CRX experience is our goal. Having looked at the market incumbents, we decided to specialise in the Latin American market, given its current growth, which is double-digit, and is expected to maintain high levels of growth over the next 5 to 10 years.”
“We have already onboarded several industry-established operators and game providers in record time using AI to facilitate faster and more streamlined workflows. We are, therefore, delighted to work with Air Dice Group to ensure their massively popular games, such as Wild Cash, Coco Craze, and Book of Goddess, are available to our operator’s portfolio of games content.
However, one of the limiting factors, especially if you are an operator or game provider, is the technical integration expertise and market access within the supply chain. If a game provider wishes to have their games deployed on Operator A’s website, but they are yet to be available to that operator, 21VIRAL’s GameConnector will be the provider’s enabler with all the technical integration, heavy lifting, and onboarding. We will also offer reverse integration, which means that we integrate our GameConnector Platform into their systems – therefore, the operators have less effort.
Simply, it’s a win-win, as many game providers in other territories, such as continental Europe, lack the commercial and technical distribution to enter LatAm—we do all that from them—and the operator gets access to the unique game content in the supply chain that can enhance their players’ engagement and revenue opportunities.”
Rocio Moitino, Director for LatAm, Air Dice Group added: “Latin America has proven to be an expanding and high-growth market for our games content over the last few years, and it continues to increase. We are delighted to increase our market accessibility with 21VIRAL’s team, as they provide faster speed to market to enable operators to access and publish our unique games to their casino lobby in quicker timeframes.”
