World-class travel leader delivers top technology to casino guests

Konami Gaming announced it has successfully deployed its SYNKROS® casino management system on a second cruise line in the world’s largest cruise company Carnival Corporation’s portfolio. Building on the success of its systems installed across Holland America Line, the company has outfitted all 29 Carnival Cruise Line ships with its award-winning system. Leveraging SYNKROS, known internally under the acronym “SURF” for “Serving Up Rewards and Fun”, guests across the Carnival Cruise Line fleet can now tap into personalized rewards, offers, bonuses and cashless wagering in the onboard casinos.

“We're obsessed with giving guests the best time possible with great service, standout rewards and innovation that raises the fun factor even higher, so it’s been fantastic to roll out SURF across the entire Carnival Cruise Line fleet and make the guest experience even more rewarding,” said Marty Goldman, SVP Global Gaming at Carnival Corporation. “We look forward to bringing these exciting gaming experiences to millions more, as SURF continues to expand across Carnival Corporation’s world-class portfolio.”
