Konami will present an entirely unique linked bonus game called Smash Smash Festival™ that increments the number of mystery prizes in a winner-takes-all prize pool in lieu of traditional progressive credit meters. This colorful fiesta game attracts players to a growing number of mystery piñata prizes in anticipation of the “Smash Time” bonus trigger. Another original progressive which has achieved strong momentum in the market is Cai Lai Si Ji™. This 4-level standalone progressive is featured with a variety of custom base games including Wealth of Dynasty™ and Power of Riches™.
“From proven progressive options for Concerto upright and Slant, to custom debut games for our single screen Concerto Stack and curved Concerto Crescent, we’re arriving to this year’s event with a comprehensive mix of games to delight players and empower our casino customers,” said Walther. “Guests at NIGA 2017 can expect to see the very latest top-performing games alongside never-before-seen releases, to power their decision making throughout the year and beyond.”
