Konami Recognized for its Games and Systems Strength in Casino Journal’s Top 20 Awards

Konami Gaming, Inc. received three awards at the Casino Journal's annual Most Innovative Gaming Technology Awards for its KX 43 video slot cabinet, large-screen opus cabinet, and SYNK Vision biometric player tracking solution. Each was named the most creatively influential and technologically advanced product in the gaming industry last year by an independent panel of experts.

"The power of Konami's presence in this year's Top 20 list is the perfect foundation for more product growth and development to benefit our customers," said Tom Gingoli, Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Konami Gaming Inc. "Konami remains committed to investing in future entertainment and technology while remaining true to the immediate needs of today's global gaming market."

Two unique Konami slot cabinets have been named one of the most innovative products in the industry this year. The company's 65-inch large-screen Concerto Opus video slot has proven successful with large cabinets with large entertainment values and just the right size of space on casino floors. The KX 43 is designed to entertain players with original content while maintaining flexibility, practicality, and long-term value for operators. Both are included in 4K Ultra HD, and there are major connected progressive series libraries including Treasure Ball, Summer Solstice Triple Sparkle, Rich with Daikoku Triple Sparkle, Dragon's Law Selection, and more.

"Global momentum for these machines continues to grow, and our team is diligently working to drive a world-class content lifecycle to support them," said Gingoli. "From iconic, progressive series like Fortune Mint to games that branch from traditional rotating reels like Treasure Lounge, Konami is revealing the depth of creative entertainment it can deliver across award-winning hardware."

Konami's SYNKROS casino management system was also featured at the 2019 Top 20 Awards, where a biometric player tracking solution automatically captures data for all players. SYNK Vision uses each EGM player tracking bracket and a camera mounted on each table game to match facial identities with a stored biometric database. Rather than requiring individuals to sign up manually or use a player tracking card, it tracks players based on their unique facial characteristics.

"SYNK Vision allows casino operators to truly view, analyze, evaluate, and reward all 'card' and 'cardless' play activities on their floors for the first time," Gingoli said. "In addition, SYNK Vision is fully integrated with and seamlessly operational with Konami's SYNKROS system, allowing operators to offer incentives, bonus events, hotsheets and special offers to loyalty program members and anonymously tracked players alike, increasing wallet share and encouraging player loyalty."

Each of these award-winning products will be considered for the Silver, Gold and Platinum Awards to be announced later.

Foxwoods Resort Casino Installs Third Interblock Stadium

As a luxury game maker and leader in the electronic table gaming market, Interblock announced that it is expanding its presence at Foxwood Resort Casino, the largest resort casino in North America. The latest addition to the casino is a diamond dealer assist stadium at Rainmaker Casino. With this expansion, Interblock's product portfolio has 85 seats in its accommodation.

Interblock CEO John Connelly said, "The management of Foxwood Resort Casino has always been a top priority when it comes to innovation. Bringing a third stadium within the same casino demonstrates the financial benefits Foxwood has realized. The combination of new players, operational savings, and the ability to increase both handle and hold ratio has proven to bring the growing EBITDA Foxwood was looking for. This could only be achieved with the casino's support."

Foxwoods Resort Casino was one of the first properties in North America to install the company's award-winning Pulse Arena in 2016, giving it the brand PLAY Arena. It is a tech experience that offers a mix of play, gambling, and social interaction. The immersive Video Wall displays games in play, statistics, and game history. The new interblock technology gives players the ability to play up to four games simultaneously on a single play station within the stadium, including live multi-hand Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, and Video Craps and Chic Bo.

PLAY Arena's achievements have encouraged property management to add interblock stadiums to the casino floor. In addition to PLAY Arena at Great Cedar Casino, the property now has diamond dealer assist stadiums at Rainmaker Casino and Fox Tower Casino. The stadiums consist of 30 and 24 seats, respectively, with live multi-hand blackjacks, dual shoe bakkara, and roulette. Interblock stadium solutions allow operators to easily convert dealer assist stadiums into fully automated stadiums, keeping the casino floor active at all times and generating constant revenue even when there are no live dealers. In addition to the easy-to-use dealer console and the large LCD display above, the live dealer table is equipped with a camera that allows players to watch live gameplay on the PlayStation screen. The PlayStation is also equipped with great high-definition graphics that provide side bets, trends, game rules, and strategy cards for blackjacks.

Wayne Theiss, vice president of Table Games at Foxwoods Resort Casino, said, "We're very excited about our ongoing partnership with Interblock. The recently expanded space is proof that their units have been incredibly successful on our floors."

Thunder CashLink and Cash Connection left an overwhelming impression on the casino floor for a packed crowd at a back-to-back bank launch event for the Panthera 2.27 machine

Ohtani Controversy Over 'Strange Low-quality Provocation' in U.S. Why Criticism of 'insult'? 'It's a

Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers) caused controversy in the U.S. for his actions after successfully stealing second base. Some accuse Ohtani's actions of being provocative and insulting to opponents, which is absurd.

Foreign media such as Marca and TMZ Sports reported on the 12th (Korea Standard Time) that "Shohei Otani caused controversy by showing a vulgar gesture during the game."

The controversial scene occurred during a game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on the 10th. In the top of the first inning, the Los Angeles Dodgers went on the offensive. Leading hitter Ohtani hit the first pitch and got on base with a hit to right field. Teoscar Hernandez struck out and Freddie Freeman hit a line drive ball to shortstop.

With two outs, No. 4 hitter Andy Fahi came to the plate. Ohtani attempted to steal second base on the second pitch. There was a close game at second base, but Ohtani's foot, which attempted to slide, reached the base a little faster than the tag. He succeeded in stealing second base.

Ohtani looked at the judge with his arms spread out in both directions in the safe position. Then, when the judge declared himself safe, he put his hands together in front of his legs and began to remove the gloves of his left hand. He then showed himself dusting off his gloves.

However, it caused outrageous controversy. The way he waved his right glove and dusted it off in front of his shin seems to have been considered obscene.

Japanese media The Digest reported the opinion of Japanese minor league referee Takashi Mazda, saying, "Even if Otani's behavior was not malicious, it could be seen as offensive and obscene behavior abroad."

The media then said, "In 2017, a player in Germany's Bundesliga was fined 20,000 euros (about 30 million won) for similar actions toward the opposing team's coach," stressing, "Of course, Ohtani's behavior was probably completely unintended."

Another media outlet Marca reported that Otani stole second in the first inning and took off his glove and shook it hard in front of his groin. Many fans watching the game criticized it as inappropriate behavior. Jose Canseco (60), a former Major League star who won the MVP award in the 1988 season, described his behavior as "disgusting" on his SNS. However, closer inspection revealed that Otani simply dusted off his glove.

The New York Post also reported, "Otani took off his left glove, looked toward the dugout, and shook his right hand back and forth near his groin."

Evolution launches super-fast Speed Blackjack

Evolution’s Speed Blackjack follows the same rules as its regular Live Blackjack but with a key difference – the dealing order when it is time for the player to make their decision.

In the new Speed version, each player’s first two cards are dealt as normal. Then when the dealing of those initial two cards is complete, all players are simultaneously offered the opportunity to Hit, Double Down or Split. The player who makes the fastest decision will get their next card dealt first. This dealing pattern continues until all players have made all of their decisions and all required additional cards have been dealt.

Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, explained: “For the last hundred years or so, Blackjack players have made decisions from the dealer’s left to right, in order, and everyone has had to wait for the deciding player because that is how it’s always been done in casinos. We asked ourselves, ‘Why should players have to wait?’. With Speed Blackjack, players make their decision when they are ready and whoever is fastest gets the next hit card, giving the player more control. This has no impact on the maths of the game, it just reduces waiting time.”

Haushalter added, “Compared to our standard Live Blackjack game, Speed Blackjack is about 30–40% faster. I must say, it feels really good as a player because it is the game you know and love, but you have more control and there’s much less waiting time.”
