Its scrolling multi-game attract mode is designed to alert customers to the special functions and variety of game themes available. Operators can choose from an ever-increasing array of available KP3 themes to add to their SeleXion game libraries. Konami will display a variety of new multi-language, multi-currency releases, including titles such as Inari Riches, Exotic Princess, More Gold More Silver, and Spellbound Princess.

And if the ingot reveals silver, players still have the opportunity to win big as all gold ingots become silver for the free games.

Available in 30 and 40-line fixed configurations, Snow Stars: White Winter is Konami’s first custom title for international markets on the Monument cabinet. This game boasts a 2-level standalone progressive bonus feature that allows players to select one of three skiers representing more free games, more wilds, or more multipliers, who then race off and launch off a gigantic ski jump to land on a corresponding award amount. Operators will appreciate how it leverages the cabinet’s extra-tall 32” screen and creates a unique experience that’s engaging in its very nature.
Rapid Revolver
Konami’s Rapid Revolver is a must-have for operators in markets abroad. In lieu of the upper LCD screen, Rapid Revolver takes a unique spin on classic mechanical reels by mounting six stacked and vertically-mounted drums on its oversized top box, surrounded by synchronized high-impact sound and lighting.
Designed to stand out on a casino floor and grab the attention of casino guests, it presents two distinct gaming concepts fused into one by combining traditional video reel on the lower screen with spinning reels up top. The game’s elegantly-designed international debut themes are Rising Dragon™ and Northern Treasure. Both will be on display at this year’s show for guests to play and experience its wild, truly immersive play mechanics.
Synkros casino management system will bring a wealth of new products and tools to ICE this February, further evidencing the company’s sustaining innovations in casino marketing and operations. As in years past, the Konami booth will include a systems demonstration environment for guests to test and explore the newest features first-hand.
With regard to marketing tools and automation, a variety of new enhancements will be unveiled through Synkros’ True-Time Tournaments, a system-delivered community gaming application that uses True-Time Windowing to bring unique tournament games to any video-based EGM on the floor. Adding to the Player-on-Demand functionality will be the new SYNKStart feature that allows groups of players to all play at the same time. Both versions of True-Time Tournaments are available through an integrated module for full back-end management and leader board functionality. Compatible across both player-on-demand and SYNKStart, an ever-growing library of SYNKROS tournament games will be launching and rolling during this year’s show.
