Konami continues to exhibit support and innovation in meeting the unique needs of Asian gaming markets with leading-edge products and technology solutions.
Charles Seo, Konami’s Product and Marketing Manager, said: “We’ve already had strong sales into Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. The Philippines has been good too with sales into City of Dreams and Solaire, but this year we’re looking to increase market share having invested a lot of time and effort into understanding the dynamics of this region, with Asian-specific maths and game content, including Chinese voice overs and distinct Asian design elements with symbols that spur positive emotions and associations for regional players. Despite the fact that revenues are down, the physical market is growing in Macau. We feel that our market specific games will be a big hit.”

In line with previous releases Rising Dragon and Northern Treasure, Prophetess of Fortune uses illuminated upper drums for high-entertainment and effect in the bonus feature, adding a new multiplier mechanic that boosts wins up to 100x. It also includes a free game feature and a mystery trigger two-level standalone progressive. In lieu of the upper LCD screen, Rapid Revolver takes a unique spin on classic mechanical reels by mounting six stacked drums on its oversized top box, surrounded by synchronised 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.
Other market specific games looking to stand out included Exotic Eagle with its adjustable volatility options and Heroine of the East a game fashioned after the ancient Chinese warrior and heroine Mulan, whose legend tells of her service to the nation’s military defense, acting in place of her father.
Mighty Emperor of Heaven, King of the World, Dragon’s Glory, Wealthy Dragon Prosperous Phoenix and Brothers of Fortune, a 4-level linked were also being tipped for big things in Asia.
