During 2023 Konami Gaming saw increasing momentum across different products and in 2024 is expected an expansion in the Latin America market

What do you think were the most influential facts or developments during 2023 for the firm?

During 2023 Konami Gaming saw increasing momentum across different product sectors, and continued efforts toward strengthening partnership with casino customers. Konami’s traditional land-based product is building back with more creative entertainment options. Our iGaming team is also reaching more social gaming and for-wager sites with Konami’s popular slot brands, for omni-channel games delivery.  Additionally, Konami’s SYNKROS casino management system is seeing strong global interest for its latest tools and technology, spanning mobile solutions, reporting and analytics, compliance, and more.

What trends do you see in the gaming industry and how is the company positioned in order to take advantage of them during 2024?

Across nearly every industry, including gaming, we are seeing trends toward increasing omni-channel activity. Consumers are engaging with product brands both online and through traditional brick and mortar locations. Konami helps today’s casinos achieve this through our owned Remote Gaming Server (RGS), which integrates with popular Internet Gaming Servers (IGS) to deliver top Konami slot games to online players. When used in conjunction with traditional land-based Konami slots, the online Konami slots provide an omni-channel delivery of the games players already recognize and enjoy. We hope to work with more of our customers to deliver this omni-channel strategy in the new year.

What are your expectations for the gaming industry in 2024 (in terms of new products releases, new markets, new technologies, etc.)?

One key initiative is the expansion of Konami’s iGaming offering in Latin America. As more markets open to online gaming, Konami is ready to deliver its player-favorite games to online real-money sites with hits like China Shores, Quick Strike, Solstice Celebration, Chili Chili Fire, and many more. For online operators that also have online gaming sites, this can open the door for omni-channel strategies to power more business across more player touchpoints. 

What strategies and projects does the company have in mind for the coming year?

Konami is committed to deepening connections with customers in 2024, through the biggest game library yet for our DIMENSION line of cabinets; dozens of recognizable iGaming themes; and the industry’s leading reliable casino management system, backed by a highly robust marketing suite.
