Edict: Merkur Slots and Table Games from Germany

Edict eGaming takes decades of Gauselmann Group know-how in building land-based slot machines and applies it to online play. The studio is a wholly owned subsidiary of Merkur Interactive GmbH and describes its mission as supplying innovative, sustainable gaming products to the international market.

From its start in 1998 as a supplier to quality online casinos, Edict has built products that can be tailored to each client’s requirements. More than 20 years on, it is an established specialist in online slots.

Three ideas run through the portfolio:

• Merkur content: Edict supplies Merkur slot machine games from the Gauselmann Group, with their recognisable design and feature sets.
• RTP strategy: each game’s return-to-player model is designed to raise player lifetime value for the operator.
• Quality control: the random number generator is tested continuously, the maths logic is clear and the graphics run smoothly.

Edict eGaming belongs entirely to Merkur Interactive GmbH, itself part of the Gauselmann Group. Dominic-Daniel Liénard serves as CEO.

Edict has a long record of fair and safe play. The UK Gambling Commission licenses and regulates it, and it holds further licences in Malta (MGA), Spain, the Isle of Man, Italy (games only), Schleswig-Holstein and Kahnawake.

Merkur-derived slots form the core of the catalogue, and they have found an audience well beyond Europe. Three examples:

Edict also produces traditional table and card games with detailed graphics, modern design and some original game functions. Two titles from this part of the range:

Edict builds its games, for Merkur and for other online casino operators, in Flash and HTML5. Most titles are adaptations of well-known land-based machines, and they now run on desktop and mobile alike. Everything plays in the browser, so players never need to download software.

Since Edict moved to HTML5, its games have been fully optimised for mobile devices on any operating system. Android and iOS phones and tablets can run them in portrait or landscape orientation.

Sensitive data and transactions are protected with current security protocols and encryption. Belonging to the Merkur group, one of the best-known names in German gaming, adds to Edict’s standing on safety and fairness.
