Business Wire
Konami Gaming, Inc., a global leader in casino gaming and
systems, today announced that after careful deliberation and a
thorough examination of potential business partners, it has
selected GameAccount Network (GAN) as a strategic partner in order
to bring Konamiâs casino games to the market via GANâs leading
iGaming platform.
âGameAccount Network is a world-class provider of iGaming
solutions. It was critical for us to find a partner who could help
us deliver our game content online in a manner designed to help our
casino customers grow revenue and expand their businesses.
Additionally, we selected GAN because our views on Internet and
mobile gaming strategy align,â explained Steve Sutherland, chief
operating officer and executive vice president at Konami.
The initial stage of this partnership will provide Konami
content via GANâs network to a wide range of iGaming service
providers that include legal real money online wagering and
simulated gaming sites around the world.
âWe are excited to have been selected by a world-class gaming
company like Konami,â said Julius Patta, president of GameAccount
Network USA. âOur mission continues to be to enable land-based
casino slot manufacturers to swiftly move online into Europe and
North Americaâs regulated Internet gaming markets. Konami is an
ideal partner based on their core values, their track record, and
their robust catalog of successful casino slot gaming content which
we expect to out-perform online-native equivalents. We are
delighted to welcome Konami content within GameAccount Network, and
we look forward to bringing their compelling machine-based games
online and distributing them into regulated Internet gaming markets
such as Italy and the UK and, in due course, markets like Spain and
New Jersey. Customers from around the world have been asking to
play Konami games like China Shores, African Diamond, and Solstice
Celebration online, and, very soon, they will be able to.â
Konami and GAN anticipate having the first online titles appear
on the GAN network in early 2014.
