Graton Resort & Casino Debuts New BOMBERMAN Slot Games by Konami Gaming in World Premiere Event

Graton Resort & Casino hosted the world premiere of BOMBERMAN slot games, making Graton guests the first players anywhere to experience the explosive new games based on the iconic Konami franchise. The premiere featured popular YouTube personality Scott Richter (aka The Big Jackpot) playing live as the casino officially unveiled the new BOMBERMAN video slot machines and their adrenaline-fueled, high-impact jackpots.

The event marks a milestone for both Graton Resort & Casino and Konami Gaming, Inc., as guests will also be the first to play on Konami's entirely new Solstice™ machine form factor, which debuts exclusively at Graton before anywhere else in the world.

"Bringing a retro icon like BOMBERMAN to the casino floor is a powerful combination of nostalgia and pure adrenaline," said Brian Green, Chief Operating Officer at Graton Resort & Casino. "Guests at Graton Resort & Casino are about to see just how explosive those classic video game moves can be when translated into jackpot power."

A Gaming Icon Comes to Casino Floors

Taking inspiration from the video games beloved by fans for more than 40 years, BOMBERMAN BLAST™ and BOMBERMAN BOOM™ are the first-ever slot games based on BOMBERMAN. The slot series features recognizable characters from the games, using classic BOMBERMAN bombs to help burst open bonus prize opportunities.

"For more than 40 years, BOMBERMAN has broken down walls and taken players to new heights of adventure, and the world's first slot games inspired by BOMBERMAN are another example of his trailblazing pursuit of fun," said John Eary, vice president of marketing at Konami Gaming, Inc. "The world premiere of BOMBERMAN slots on Konami's newest hardware machine is a milestone moment in our company's growth. As Graton Resort & Casino is also celebrating a season of growth and expansion, this historic world premiere is an exciting collaborative effort between two gaming organizations that are leveling up."

Innovative Gameplay Features

The video game's most recognizable character, White BOMBERMAN, serves as the hero character for BOMBERMAN BLAST, while another major character, Black BOMBERMAN, is the hero of BOMBERMAN BOOM. Both deliver a fun and friendly energy to the gameplay experience by celebrating with the player, sharing surprising bonus upgrades, and using the detonator to burst open fantastic feature events.

In addition to showcasing BOMBERMAN himself, the games tap into recognizable imagery from the video games such as brick walls, speckled eggs, power-up symbols, and of course, round cartoony bombs with blasting rope fuse.

BOMBERMAN slots attract interest with triple metamorphic bombs perched above a standard 5-reel base game. Brightly-colored Bomb symbols corresponding to the triple metamorphic bombs can appear on the center reels throughout gameplay. Upon landing to the reels, the Bomb symbols give players the chance at a broad variety of original bonus adventures.

Players can look forward to a big mix of in-game rewards, including cash-on-reels credit prizes, bonus awards, and the huge GRAND jackpot.
