Jobs created as new £200,000 gaming centre opens in Glasgow

MERKUR Slots has opened a new £200,000 entertainment centre in Glasgow city centre, creating 10 new jobs.

The entertainment company is investing more than £10m on UK high streets over the next six-months, with the new Sauchiehall Street venue featuring bingo and digital slot machines, with a focus on low stake gaming and pay-outs ranging from £5 to £500.

It will also have an extensive library of new and classic games. Customers also receive unlimited free refreshments.

Mark Schertle, chief operating officer of parent company MERKUR Casino, 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 Glasgow through the creation of these new jobs.

"Every new venue we open creates an average of 10 new local jobs and we are well on course to have created 500 jobs nationwide by the end of the year.”
