Milestone for MERKUR Casino UK as First Aberdeen Casino Opens Its Doors

MERKUR Casino UK, the renowned high street bingo and gaming operator, has opened its first casino in Aberdeen, Scotland, in an exciting development. This important achievement is the consequence of the company’s acquisition of the Rainbow Casino on Summer Street in this prominent Scottish tourist resort.

According to Scottish Financial News, the current acquisition will keep the present 40 casino jobs in the neighborhood. Furthermore, MERKUR Casino UK will draw on the expertise of the trained and experienced people who are already employed at the fully running casino. As a result, the much-anticipated new endeavor is scheduled to open its doors to the public on June 23, 2023.

Merkur is increasing its presence in Aberdeen by acquiring the Rainbow Casino to its portfolio, where it already runs a gambling facility set to open in 2022. The Gauselmann Group purchased the company in 2012, and it offers Merkur Slots sites throughout Scotland, as well as land-based gaming establishments in Spain and the Netherlands. Merkur Casino UK’s acquisition of the Rainbow Casino will keep the existing 40 jobs at the company. Merkur Casino UK employs around 1,600 people throughout its venues.

Merkur’s entry into the UK casino sector is marked by the opening of the Rainbow Casino, a landmark success for the company. This new market entry’s chosen location has been received with considerable enthusiasm.

Reportedly, Mark Schertle, COO for MERKUR Casino UK, expressed his excitement, stating, “We’re thrilled to inaugurate our first casino venue in the UK, and what better place to choose than Aberdeen. With its vibrant night-time economy, the city provides the perfect setting to launch this new facet of our business, effectively complementing our portfolio of over 225 high street bingo and adult gaming centers across the UK.”

Schertle further emphasized the positive impact on the local community, saying, “It will also be a welcome addition to our existing MERKUR Slots venue on Union Street in Aberdeen, preserving jobs and reinforcing our continued investment in the local high street.”

According to the Press&Journal, the casino will undergo a revitalization, giving tourists a new look and experience. The casino will have a “world-class selection of table games,” including popular options like poker, blackjack, and roulette. Furthermore, the full casino options will include the most recent slot titles from Merkur’s broad collection.

Schertle also shared plans for further investment and development of the business, stating, “Having already refreshed the casino’s layout, we have exciting plans to continue investing and expanding, and we eagerly look forward to welcoming both new and loyal customers.”

As MERKUR Casino UK prepares to open its doors in Aberdeen, this highly anticipated launch marks a watershed moment for the firm, reinforcing its commitment to providing excellent gaming experiences and supporting local communities.
