Gaming Arts LLC, the Las Vegas-based slot supplier acquired last fall by Germany’s Merkur Gaming, signaled major upcoming growth with the grand opening of “The Forge,” a new manufacturing facility which, at 23,000 square feet, triples the supplier’s production capacity.

“We outgrew our existing facility,” Chief Product Officer Greg Colella told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “We needed to go into a much larger space to meet the demands of our customers for our machines.”

 The company said the new facility will enable it to lift its 2026 production target from 1,250 units to roughly 1,500, and executives report output is already running near 115 games per month. Gaming Arts has grown from about 62 employees in August 2025 to roughly 83 after the move, and expects to add another 10 to 15 people through the rest of the year. The opening doubled as a showcase for a new game title, Glory of Giza. Merkur Group has said its September acquisition of Gaming Arts will speed up its entry into the U.S. market, where Gaming Arts content is now featured on legacy Merkur cabinets.
