Casino Gaming Machines developed by KONAMI

SLOT MACHINES

Slot machines are popular gaming machines as found in Las Vegas and other casinos. The products must be approved through a stringent approval process conducted by regulatory authorities. Once the payout calculations and internal configurations have cleared the required standards, they are manufactured at our licensed factory and can finally be sold to operator licensed casino customers.

PROGRESSIVE GAMES

Progressive games are optional games giving a chance to win the jackpot. Player's wagers are partially accumulated during playing gaming machines, and the accumulated wagers are paid out as prize money for jackpot winning.

Konami Casino Management System

The Konami Casino Management System (KCMS) platform is built upon Fortune 100 company architecture. KCMS implements a 100MB TCP/IP network topology from the slot machine interface to the KCMS Oracle database. The True-Time? player tracking LCD is a multi-lingual player tracking/gaming attendant touch-screen display which supports live streaming video at each slot machine. True-Time? Advanced Incentives offer casino operators a powerful marketing toolkit built around individual player profiles which enable casino operators to create unique incentives, targeting reward programs based on player behavior and demographics to promote ongoing loyalty. KCMS also integrates an operational data store into the KCMS Oracle database for ad-hoc reporting, analytics, and customer relationship management.

Global Business centered on bases in North America and Australia

North American casino operators are in large part driving up globalization by making forays into markets worldwide to tap the vigorous growth expected in new markets in Asia, Europe, and South America. In response to the globalization of gaming markets, KONAMI has developed a production and sales system centered on operating bases in North America and Australia that provides a stable supply of high-quality products and services to gaming markets worldwide.
