Business Wire
Konami Gaming, Inc., a leading gaming technology provider, has
forged a license agreement with Paltronics, whereby Konami will be
able to offer Paltronics’ One Link 3E Suite of Progressive,
Bonusing and Media Management products with the Konami Casino
Management System (KCMS) and Konami’s extensive catalog of games
products, announced Steve Sutherland, chief operating officer at
Konami Gaming, Inc. “This new agreement is a game changer because
Konami and Paltronics are leaders in the gaming industry and this
cooperative agreement will allow casino operators to benefit from
the best products and practices of both companies.”
“Paltronics has long been regarded as the premier supplier of
Progressive and Media Management solutions, so integrating our
capabilities into those of Konami provides operators with a true
enterprise solution for both Konami’s system and game products,”
said Angelo Palmisano, president and chief executive officer at
Paltronics. “This licensing agreement creates an opportunity to
introduce products into the Konami portfolio of products that are
tightly integrated, operate seamlessly, and greatly enhance both
Konami’s systems and games product offerings.”
Yuji Taniguchi, vice president of research and development for
games at Konami Gaming, Inc., explained, “This license agreement
provides our games designers with the ability to design games with
‘no winning combination required’ progressives using Paltronics’
must-win-by progressive technology. This adds a level of excitement
and thrill for players since the progressive jackpot could hit at
any time.”
“Typically, Progressive and Media Management solutions have been
offered by independent, third party suppliers and therefore each
has had limited integration with a property’s casino management
system,” explained Tom Soukup, Konami Gaming, Inc.’s vice president
of systems research and development. “Tightly coupling Paltronics
and Konami’s technologies will provide customers with a host of
unique benefits such as: floor-wide, zone or bank defined
must-win-by progressives, floor-wide media distribution of Super
Series Bonusing events, centralized management of progressives and
streaming content management throughout the True-Time Player
Communications network. This provides the operator with ‘one-stop
shop’ functionality.”
