2020 brought unique challenges for Konami Gaming, Inc., yet the company used the period to redefine its product lineup. A pivotal moment was the introduction of the Dimension series of cabinets, starting with the Dimension 49J and its flagship game series, All Aboard. Launched just before industry shutdowns, the Dimension series quickly became a cornerstone for Konami’s future offerings.
During the shutdowns, Konami’s R&D team continued developing the Dimension lineup. Following the initial release of the Dimension 49J with its 49-inch J-curved monitor, the company introduced:
Dimension 27: A core video cabinet with three 27-inch screens.
Dimension 49: Featuring a 49-inch flat-screen monitor.
In 2021, Konami unveiled the Dimension 75C, boasting a massive 75-inch curved monitor. This lineup has been bolstered by innovative content designed to maximize the potential of these form factors.
The Dimension 49 topped the Eilers-Fantini Game Performance Report for four consecutive months in the for-sale category, earning its place as the industry’s leading portrait cabinet. Meanwhile, the Dimension 49J and its inaugural game families, All Aboard and Ocean Spin, consistently ranked among the top performers in premium leased categories.
Leading up to Global Gaming Expo (G2E) 2021, Konami continued releasing high-performing titles, including:
Rising Diamond: Available on Dimension 49, this game features a unique expanding reel mechanic with two iterations—Pink Edition and Blue Edition—and rewards such as expanded reel frames and free games.
Mystical Pearl: Showcased on Dimension 27, this undersea-themed progressive game offers the “Stay & Spin” bonus with jackpots ranging from fixed Mini and Minor prizes to progressive Major and Grand jackpots.
Panda Power: Also on Dimension 27, this linked progressive series combines classic games with multi-screen bonuses, including a unique two-level progressive feature.
Konami’s SYNKROS casino management system remains a key growth driver. It powers industry-leading functionalities, including:
Money Klip: A cashless module enabling secure digital transactions at gaming machines, restaurants, and bars.
SYNK31: A comprehensive Title 31 Anti-Money Laundering system, offering seamless compliance tools.
SYNKROS has been adopted by major operators, including Resorts World Las Vegas, showcasing Konami’s technological prowess in a live environment.
Konami continues to explore new markets, including historical horse racing (HHR), Class II, VLT, and VGT segments, through partnerships with Ainsworth and Exacta Systems. These efforts aim to bring Konami’s content to broader audiences.
Konami’s success is credited to its experienced leadership team, which boasts a combined 80 years of industry expertise. This consistent leadership ensures a steady focus on innovation, customer satisfaction, and strategic growth.
Konami Gaming’s product portfolio, bolstered by the Dimension series and SYNKROS, positions the company as a leader in the gaming industry. With ongoing investments in technology and market expansion, Konami is set to continue its trajectory of innovation and excellence.
