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.”Īccording to the Press&Journal, the casino will undergo a revitalization, giving tourists a new look and experience. 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.” 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. This new market entry’s chosen location has been received with considerable enthusiasm. Merkur’s entry into the UK casino sector is marked by the opening of the Rainbow Casino, a landmark success for the company. Merkur Casino UK employs around 1,600 people throughout its venues. Merkur Casino UK’s acquisition of the Rainbow Casino will keep the existing 40 jobs at the company.

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 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. As a result, the much-anticipated new endeavor is scheduled to open its doors to the public on June 23, 2023. Furthermore, MERKUR Casino UK will draw on the expertise of the trained and experienced people who are already employed at the fully running casino.

This important achievement is the consequence of the company’s acquisition of the Rainbow Casino on Summer Street in this prominent Scottish tourist resort.Īccording to Scottish Financial News, the current acquisition will keep the present 40 casino jobs in the neighborhood.

MERKUR Casino UK, the renowned high street bingo and gaming operator, has opened its first casino in Aberdeen, Scotland, in an exciting development.
