Merkur Spielbank Siegburg Schedules Three Game Shows for December Grand Opening

Merkur Spielbank Siegburg will stage its grand opening from December 10 to 12 with three game shows and prizes exceeding €100,000. The schedule pairs celebrity appearances with free-entry formats that require no stakes or wagers.

David Schnabel, CEO of Merkur Casinos, positioned the weekend as more than standard gaming. “The Grand Grand Opening is a huge celebration for our guests,” Schnabel explained. “Our opening weekend offers much more than slot machines, poker, roulette or blackjack. From the very beginning, we put an exclamation mark on the most popular shows and extraordinary winnings.”

Game Show Schedule and Prizes

December 10 brings the premiere of the Big Casino Gameshow in Siegburg. The format, active for more than ten years across Germany, carries a guaranteed main prize of €10,000.

December 11 features the Bingo Banger hosted by Lilo von Kiesenwetter. The show recasts traditional bingo as a high-energy party with music and action.

The December 12 finale runs the Car Alarm game show. Its top prize is a brand-new BMW M2 Coupé worth more than €85,000. Actor Heiner Lauterbach, top model Franziska Knuppe and Let’s Dance winner Anna-Carina Woitschak will attend as celebrity guests.

Venue Build and Access Arrangements

The property follows a symbolic groundbreaking in spring 2025. It contains around 1,600 square meters of gaming space with around 250 slot machines plus roulette and card tables, according to reporting by G3 Newswire.

Additional parking is available at the OBI DIY store site, with P2 open immediately and P1 from 8 p.m. Free shuttle buses will run from the Haufeld multi-storey car park to the entrance and return.
