Konami celebrates success in Italy

Saint Vincent Resort & Casino celebrated outstanding success with Smash Smash Festival by Konami.

Italy.- In the heart of Italy’s Aosta Valley, Saint Vincent Resort & Casino features one of Europe’s largest gaming floors, including a large eight-unit bank of Konami Gaming, Inc.’s latest linked slot game, Smash Smash Festival™. Last August Saint Vincent became the first in Italy to launch the fiesta-themed bonus series, which has since become a top player attraction.

“Smash Smash Festival is a strong favorite on our floor,” said Fabrizio Vassoney, slot operations manager at Saint Vincent Resort & Casino. “Everything works together from the music to the colorful design to create an incredible energy around this unique mechanic of an increasing pool of mystery prizes.”

Instead of traditional progressive meters, Konami’s Smash Smash Festival increases the number of mystery piñatas in a winner-takes-all prize pool. Players watch as piñatas pile up into double-digits, until a lucky winner hits the Smash Time bonus and takes the entire bunch.

“Both in net win and coin-in, Smash Smash Festival is consistently performing well above house average. We’re thrilled by how it has been received,” said Ezio Diemoz, slot manager. “Top rewards and premiere entertainment have long been the driving force behind Saint Vincent’s casino experience, which Konami and its local distributor Intergames d.o.o. continue to support through the latest products.”
