Konami Gaming’s newest casino machine, Solstice, debuted Tuesday at the Global Gaming Expo. Attendees are the first to experience Konami’s Solstice hardware, with showcase games including All Aboard Diamond, Red Fortune Rail, and a slot series based on the Konami BOMBERMAN video game. The event also marks the world debut of Konami Online Interactive to mark the establishment of igaming as the third pillar in Konami Gaming’s business mix, alongside land-based casino games and systems, with an entirely new branded presence.
“Today marks the next chapter for Konami Gaming with our introduction of the new Solstice cabinet. Encompassing the latest technologies available, Solstice was designed to provide the utmost entertainment experience for casino patrons worldwide,” said Steve Sutherland, chief executive officer of Konami Gaming, Inc. “At the same time, our igaming team is celebrating a landmark year of growth and opportunity, launching Konami Online Interactive as a new brand dedicated to driving innovation and expanding our future market reach.”
Konami Gaming’s Solstice cabinet line is characterized by first-of-its-kind lighting elements stretching from the height of the topper to below the button deck, which interact with in-game features across a dynamic color spectrum. This advanced lighting system delivers real-time visual feedback that reacts to every spin, win, and bonus round. Konami marks the debut of this new cabinet line with Solstice 49C — a core for-sale machine featuring float-mounted, 49-inch C-curve display in 4K Ultra High-definition (UHD).
“Solstice is industry’s latest in enhanced graphics, game power, and total attraction on the casino floor,” said Gerard Crosby, senior vice president & chief games product officer at Konami Gaming. “The machine’s total innovation and quality, combined with standout titles from BOMBERMAN to All Aboard Diamond, firmly establish Solstice as a must-have for casino operators worldwide.”
Solstice showcase game series All Aboard Diamond is the first-ever brand extension on Konami’s All Aboard slot games, which ranked in Eilers & Krejcik’s list of “Top 25 Grossing Parent Games – Premium Leased & WAP” every month for more than four years. It is joined at G2E by an original creation called Red Fortune Rail, a train game with a unique Golden Fortune Rail bonus. A popular icon of consumer video games to be loved over 40-year period, Konami Digital Entertainment’s BOMBERMAN arrives to the casino gaming industry for the first time on Konami Gaming’s all-new Solstice hardware. In addition, BOMBERMAN is among the G2E featured games for Konami Online Interactive, arriving soon for omni-channel launch both in-person and online.
“Konami Online Interactive is reaching dramatically more global markets, with more games than ever, and the new brand presence for this segment of our business is testament to that,” said John Eary, vice president of marketing at Konami Gaming. “New and long-time iGaming partners have a large library of Konami hits to choose from, energized by upcoming omni-channel content like BOMBERMAN slots. These and many more products mark a milestone year for Konami at G2E 2025, in a transformed exhibit design with never-before-seen campaigns.”
In addition to landmark game announcements at G2E, Konami is featuring live demos of the industry’s latest top SYNKROS systems technology throughout the event, with streamlined employee mobile tools and a time-saving beverage ordering system to efficiently and effectively provide enhanced customer service; frictionless cashless funding at both slots and table via the casino’s chosen payment processor; and fully-customizable, system-delivered progressives.
Attendees are encouraged to visit booth #1256 at the Venetian Expo to explore these and more Konami releases.
