Konami Gaming, Inc., one of the industry’s largest providers of
gaming technology, announced today that it has introduced
SYNKROSTM, the evolution of its Konami Casino Management System
(KCMS). “With SYNKROS, we have added powerful new marketing and
analytics tools to what remains the most reliable system in the
industry,” announced Steve Sutherland, chief operating officer at
Konami Gaming, Inc. “We built our system to help casino operators
build their businesses by providing bonusing capabilities to
entertain and reward their players and ensure a unique gaming
experience.”
“For years, Konami has offered the industry’s most reliable
system because it was constructed on an architecture inspired by
the best practices found in industries like banking and national
defense,” explained Tom Soukup, Konami Gaming Inc.’s vice president
of systems research and development. “With SYNKROS, we started with
KCMS and then added new marketing horsepower on top of a system
architecture that has been celebrated for its unparalleled
reliability. We coupled feedback from the market with the
operational experience of our product management and engineering
teams to identify the products that would most help our customers
drive business growth. As a result, we created Super Series Floor
Wide BonusingTM, True-Time TournamentsTM, Draw Poker BonusingTM,
True-Time WindowingTM, a library of 20 BonuStreamTM bonus game
animations, the all new Synk BoxTM, and a new Konami Enterprise
IntelligenceTM (KEI) analytics module.”
“We focused our product development on analytics tools that help
casino operators to better understand their market and bonusing
applications that create better experiences for their guests,”
explained Michael Ratner, director of systems product management at
Konami Gaming, Inc. “SYNKROS is designed and built to give the
operator the best products in the industry to attract and retain
customers by creating a more entertaining on-property experience
and providing the marketing tools to generate increased trips by
enabling better offers to be communicated to players. SYNKROS’
evolutionary marketing tools were built to give our customers an
edge in the increasingly competitive gaming markets in which they
operate.”
Soukup added, “SYNKROS represents the very best that KCMS had to
offer – real-time data at the game, patron, and denom level via a
TCP/IP based network floor, lifetime data availability,
multi-channel streaming video, and the strength of an Oracle
database, which result in the industry’s only fully-integrated
system. When operators compare SYNKROS side-by-side with other
systems on the market, they quickly understand how different and
superior SYNKROS really is.”
