“The initial concept for Goliath was to use as a launch pad for new game release. However, due to the overwhelming performance of the original titles being installed, we haven’t been able to convert any. Put short, the games operating in the Goliath cabinet are currently performing too well to even consider converting” explains Konami NSW Sales Manager Jeremy Alchin. “Some venues initially perceived the purchase as high risk due to the physical size of the cabinet, however they are certainly not regretting now. Our first installation for NSW was December 13, and we haven’t changed one game to date. Nationally we have now sold over 120 units.”
Another recent stellar release is the new Podium Stack cabinet which will serve as the launch pad for a new series of 80 and 120 line games, commencing with Dragon Fury Jackpots and Lucky O’Leary Jackpots. The Podium Stack cabinet features a single 32” upright game screen with an increased number of symbols and line options that can’t be achieved on the existing 22” Podium screens. During both feature games, players have the potential to earn more top paying symbols and potentially lining up larger numbers of stacked symbols and coinciding wins.
Having first been installed in March, Dragon Fury hit June monthly Maxgaming report with an average daily turnover of $3,460 and $5,507 for 1c and 2c respectively.
For the standard Podium KP3 cabinet, we are delighted to have just released the new multi-game, multi-denomination product, SeleXion. The first SeleXion release features a combination of four proven game titles with Brothers of Fortune standalone progressive. Another two themes are currently in development for release around AGE.
For future development, there is a pipeline of product that combines current market trends with innovation and interactivity that would certainly appeal to a broad group of players.
“We are delighted with the results of our recent cabinets and products. Our development team has increased resources and is now producing more games and unique categories of quality products that ever before,” explains Konami National Sales Manager Gary Freeman. “The changes are certainly yielding dividends and the proof is in the performance of our products. We are also boosting our game library with a number a new top performing US titles. These games have caught the interest of US operators and the news is spreading globally.”
