Konami Gaming reflected Tuesday on its recent participation at the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, which took place October 11-13 2022. At the major gambling industry event, the company debuted a mix of casino games and systems technology.

Gaming professionals and executives representing regulated markets across 100+ countries were among the first to experience Kontami's latest original game series, licensed content and systems advancements, centered upon "the winning experience."

The company noted that, throughout the event, guests seized the opportunity to interact with top releases available through Konami's SYNKROS casino management system, including Money Klip cashless technology, the Konetic employee mobile app, and Oracle Analytics.

G2E 2022 also marked the debut of the world’s first Buzzr land-based slots, based on the vintage game show TV channel broadcast in 62 US markets. Other Konami original series premiering for the first time at G2E 2022 included America’s Rich Life, Great Guardians Link, Lucky Drums, China Shores Pagoda, Prize Strike, and Mystical Temple Grand. 

Tom Jingoli, executive vice president & chief operating officer at Konami Gaming, stated: “Understanding the diverse circumstances of casino operators at this time and the need to deliver great business value today, Konami dedicated this G2E showcase to proven performing products and promising new advancements.” 

“Between the demonstrated reliability of the DIMENSION line of cabinets; the popularity of Konami’s latest progressive series; the tested success of SYNKROS; and the growth of Konami products in expanding sectors, Konami is driving strong results across wide-ranging markets, which we want to make a reality for as many of our customers as possible," he added. 

Premium series like All Aboard and Bull Blitz were some of the main attractions, alongside new releases such as Great Guardians Link, based on the Konami original base game; Buzzr slots, with nods to “Family Feud” and “Card Sharks”; and America’s Rich Life, featuring the 1987 Grammy Award-winning song “Living in America” by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honoree James Brown.

Core content like Fortune Mint and Triple Sparkle were among the highlights on DIMENSION 49, ranked the industry’s number one Top Indexing Cabinet – Portrait / Portrait Slant for 10 months, according to Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, LLC and Fantini Research.

Additionally, Konami premiered New York Lottery Video Lottery Terminal (VLT) and Class II games at G2E for the first time, alongside its latest entertainment offering in Historical Horse Racing (HHR) machines. 

"As Konami’s award-winning DIMENSION cabinet line continues to appear among the industry’s highest-performing machines in respective hardware categories, Konami is continuing to support operators with winning entertainment content,” Jingoli added. “We are tapping into proven releases from Konami Australia, pulling in fun licensed content, and expanding upon what’s successful.” 

As for its CMS, Konami’s SYNKROS continues to drive "new convenience, efficiency, flexibility, analysis, and results to the gaming floor," the company stated. G2E 2022 marked the SYNKROS debut of Oracle Analytics, available as an easy-to-use, web-based tool for ad hoc reports, data visualization, and analysis—pulling from a wealth of data stored in the SYNKROS database.

Konami’s comprehensive SYNK31 Anti-Money Laundering / Title 31 system, Money Klip cashless technology, and Konetic employee mobile app are also among the latest high-demand SYNKROS products, featured at this year’s event for casinos from around the globe to experience firsthand, Konami noted.
