COVER STORY – KONAMI
Likewise, Solstice debut series Dragon Firecracker is popping up on the performance charts. A brightly animated game with a joyous, money god character, Dragon Firecracker gives players triple metamorphic dragons, with the power to transport them to a variety of free spin bonuses. The red “DOUBLE FIRE” dragon awards bonus Wild symbols. The blue “DOUBLE GAMES” dragon awards a bonus reel frame. And the purple “JACKPOT” dragon gives players the chance to collect letters to unlock potential progressive and bonus prizes. These dragons can work together in any combination during the free games, including all 3 at once! Dragon Firecracker also showcases an extra Wilds feature, awarded by the jolly hero character shooting crazy fi reworks to the reels. All three series have ranked among the industry’s Top Indexing Games in the United States and Canada, contributing to Solstice 49C ultimately becoming the No. 1 Top Indexing Cabinet – Portrait Upright according to independent data by Eilers & Krejcik Gaming. Expanding markets are following a similar trajectory, as vice president of iGaming & international gaming operations Eduardo Aching shared, “Casinos in the United States and Canada have seen exceptional results with the launch of Solstice launch, and now casinos in the Caribbean, Latin America, and Europe are seeing the same trend. The new machines and debut themes are catching player attention on the casino fl oor and starting to generate a loyal following due to the rewarding qualities of the total game experience.”
