As part of its increasing activity in the North American market, Gauselmann Group’s Merkur Gaming, fresh back from a successful G2E trade show, has announced that it has become an associate member of NIGA, the National Indian Gaming Association.

The membership, says the company, will assist it in placing its machines in Native Indian reservation casinos in the US. NIGA is a non-profit trade association comprising 184 Indian Nations and other associate members, pledged to support and advance Indian peoples, economically, socially and politically.

The membership was concluded on the Merkur stand at the G2E trade show when NIGA chairman Ernest Stevens Jnr visited was welcomed by Gauselmann Group board member Jürgen Stühmeyer and Charles Hiten, CEO of Merkur Gaming Americas.

Merkur will now exhibit at the 2017 Indian gaming trade show and convention, which is being held on April 10-13 at the San Diego Convention Center in California.
