Casino at Xscape Milton Keynes to be Merkur’s flagship UK casino
MERKUR Casino UK is strengthening its UK presence with the opening of a new flagship casino at Xscape Milton Keynes reinforcing the company’s long-term strategy for growth across the UK leisure sector.
The casino will officially open its doors on Saturday 1 November 2025. Spanning 22,000 sq ft, it features a 1,367 m² gaming floor with 72 slot machines, 26 electronic roulette terminals and 15 live gaming tables, complemented by a 4,700 sq ft bar and event space designed to host live acts, community events and private functions.
Milton Keynes, already home to MERKUR Casino UK’s Head Office, was a natural choice for the company’s newest casino, offering a central location, vibrant leisure economy and a strong foundation for future growth, with an ambition to be recognised among one of the best casino destinations outside London.
Mark Schertle, Chief Operating Officer at MERKUR Casino UK Ltd, said: “We’re continuing to invest significantly in our estate, developing welcoming venues that bring gaming, hospitality and entertainment together. This opening also reflects our confidence in Milton Keynes, both as a growing leisure destination and as our home base.”
The new opening has created over 100 new local jobs across operations, hospitality, and management, supported by MERKUR’s training and development programme, designed to nurture long-term careers within the business.
Numerous local suppliers and contractors have been engaged throughout the build and fit-out process, underlining MERKUR’s ongoing commitment to community investment and supporting the regional economy.
The grand launch event will feature an official ribbon-cutting, live entertainment and a £10,000 cash prize giveaway – a fitting celebration of MERKUR’s latest addition to its growing UK portfolio.
