Edict Egaming, a subsidiary of the Gauselmann Group, has announced a partnership with online gaming provider, Betsson Group.

A variety of Merkur slots will be made available to Betsson Group through the Edict Egaming Aggregator Solution.

Dominic-Daniel Liénard, CEO of Edict Egaming, said: “Betsson is one of the largest betting and gaming operators in Europe and enjoys enormous success thanks to its large variety of popular gaming brands.

“With this cooperation, we have gained an internationally established partner.

"We are proud to be able to provide our diverse portfolio of Merkur games and are confident that our offering will be met with great enthusiasm by Betsson users.”

Betsson Group expects that a wide range of Merkur slots will be made available through its various brands in the future, subject to requirements.

There are currently more than 20 brands that operate under the Betsson Group, including Betsson, Betsafe and NordicBet.

As well as casino games, Betsson Group brands also offer poker and sports betting in regulated markets worldwide.

Laura Peretta, Head of Supplier Relations at Betsson Group, said: “A highly diversified games portfolio has always been a high priority for us.

“Cooperating with edict will enable us to supplement our offering with the popular Merkur games and thus make it even more attractive.

“We are delighted to be working together with this reputable and reliable partner going forward”.

This isn't the only operator to sign an agreement with the distributor for access to the Merkur slots recently though, with Edict Egaming announcing a partnership with 888casino in March too.
