Press release.- Konami Gaming dedicated its showcase at G2E Las Vegas to debuting new slot series, hardware, and casino management solutions. Headlined by Bull Blitz Rampage and Dragon’s Law Super Fortune, the provider’s latest lineup saw strong interest from operators. The display highlighted Konami’s strategy of leveraging established brand power while advancing floor management with SYNKROS technology.
Bull Blitz Rampage is the debut series for a new stack-screen Solstice, while Dragon’s Law Super Fortune is launching on an oversized machine. Both caught attention at the show alongside systems technology like Konetic and SYNKROS Progressive Management; popular igaming releases such as Money in the Bank and Diggin’ Bros.; and dozens more land-based casino games, including China Shores Link.
Gerard Crosby, senior vice president and chief games product officer at Konami Gaming, said: “Bull Blitz Rampage and Dragon’s Law Super Fortune have generated a great deal of excitement in the industry. Between the existing brand popularity, incoming trial data, and response from casino customers at G2E, both games are seeing high-demand, similar to what we observed following last year’s G2E with the world’s first BOMBERMAN slots.”
The rumble of charging hooves echoed across the show floor at all hours, as guests hit the nested bonus feature in Bull Blitz Rampage and posed for photos with a giant life-sized bull. Meanwhile, Konami’s iconic long-tailed dragon soared the aisles from a 16-foot-tall, animated display, with heads turning to catch the game’s wheel feature whirling. Baby pandas played the hero for guests discovering China Shores Link—a triple bonus game arriving to casinos on Konami’s top-ranked Solstice 49C cabinet.
Crosby added: “China Shores Link takes advantage of mechanics, intellectual property, and hardware that’s proven successful, and evolves upon it with transforming characters and new pathways to different features. Proven successful Konami brands are also generating results through Konami Online Interactive, serving up fresh releases like Money in the Bank, Diggin’ Bros., and Red Fortune Rail.”
