Merkur Slots opens in North Street, Taunton
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
GAMING company Merkru Slots has opened a £200,000 entertainment centre in North Street, Taunton.
The venture has created 10 new local jobs.
And a grand opening celebration later this month will feature a big cash giveaway and other prizes.
The opening is part of a nationwide programme that will see Merkur Slots invest more than £10million on UK high streets this year.
Mark Schertle, chief operating officer of Merkur Slots’ parent company Merkur Casino UK, said: “We pride ourselves on our continued investment in UK high streets, and so it means a lot to be able to support the local community and economy in Taunton and the surrounding area through the creation of these new jobs.
"Every new venue we open creates an average of 10 new local jobs and having created 400 in 2021, we are aiming to create a further 600 in 2022.”
The new North Street venue features the latest bingo and digital slot machines, with the emphasis firmly on low stake gaming and pay-outs ranging from £5 to £500, and an extensive library of new and classic games.
Customers also receive unlimited free refreshments.
Mr Schertle added: “Our aim with this new state-of-the-art entertainment centre is to give both new and existing customers a unique gaming experience in an environment that reflects the scale of the investment.
“I’m sure those visiting over the next few days and weeks will be as excited about this new Merkur Slots venue as I am.”
To mark the opening of its new North Street venue, Merkur Slots is hosting a grand opening on Friday, April 29, with a big cash giveaway and other prizes.
