Konami is a leader in the land-based gambling market, providing fun and exciting pokies to casino operators around the world. The company has thrived in brick-and-mortar gambling venues for decades, and Konami has recently decided to bring its operations online. To make this happen, Konami will be partnering with GameAccount Network (GAN), a successful online gaming provider.
“We are excited to have been selected by a world-class gaming company like Konami,” said Julius Patta, president of GAN. “Our mission continues to be to enable land-based casino slot manufacturers to swiftly move online into Europe and North America’s regulated Internet gaming markets. According to Mr Patta, the two companies have similar visions for online gaming.
Both Konami and GAN want to produce online games that will not only generate revenue for casino owners but also provide players with exciting gaming experiences and generous prizes. At the moment, Game Account is focused on bringing Konami’s pokies into newly regulated online gambling markets, such as the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain.
Since mobile gambling has recently be legislated in these markets, there is also the possibility that Konami’s games will be made available for iOS and Android devices. GAN works with a wide range of games developers, and is experienced with poker machine manufacturers. In 2011, Game Account partnered with Aristocrat, Australia’s most popular pokie provider.
Together, the companies brought titles like 5 Dragons, Lucky 88 ™, Queen of the Nile ™ and more into the online gambling market. Aristocrat’s new online pokies have received a positive response from players, and it is expected that Konami’s titles will experience similar success.
Konami has released a number of great land-based games this year, and it will be exciting to see them transition into the online gambling market. Titles like Kabuki King, Diamond Quest and Fairy Blossom are sure to be big hits at online casinos.
