Konami Gaming, Inc. and Kaizen Gaming announce the landmark Brazilian debut of Konami casino games, launched to market through Kaizen Gaming’s Betano online platform. Betano online players are the first in the nation to experience iconic Konami slot classics like China Shores™, as well as recent hits such as Fortune Mint™. In a landmark first, Brazil opened its market to regulated online casino games on January 1, 2025, authorizing rules, requirements, and licensing for legal online betting. Brazil is the latest real-money iGaming market served by the partnership between Konami and Kaizen Gaming.

“The first ever Brazilian debut of Konami’s popular casino games is a significant milestone for our iGaming division, and our global company as a whole,” said Tom Jingoli, president and chief operating officer at Konami Gaming, Inc. “Online players can enjoy a large library of Konami slot creations beloved in land-based markets from Las Vegas to Macau for many years, with the assurance of Betano’s secure platform, which is the most popular in the country.”

Kaizen Gaming was the first online gaming operator in Brazil to be awarded an online betting license under the new regulated market. Each day its Betano online platform attracts millions of users from across the country. Online players nationwide can now hit spin Konami’s All Aboard Piggy Pennies™, Cobra Hearts™, China Shores, Fortune Mint, African Diamond™, and more, for the chance to win real-money jackpots directly from any personal desktop, tablet, or mobile device. 

 “Our focus on delivering the most exciting, innovative and responsible online gaming experiences has been integral to establishing Betano as Brazil’s market leader. We constantly enrich the variety of games available, offering options found on no other platform. Such is the case now, as we become the first operator in the country to launch real-money Konami slots,” said Evangelos Dedoulis, director of product, gaming and rewards at Kaizen Gaming. “From classic 5-reel games to rewarding progressive slots, Betano users can look forward to an ever-increasing library of Konami casino releases among the platform’s top tier range of entertainment.”

 “Through close cooperation and shared action, Konami and Kaizen Gaming have taken a partnership that began in Canada’s real-money gaming sector, and expanded it to one of the largest emerging markets on the globe,” said Eduardo Aching, vice president of iGaming & international gaming operations at Konami Gaming. “Our organization is excited to be part of Betano’s success in Brazil, and support the region with slot entertainment beloved by players for over 20 years.”
