Konami Brings Its No. 1 Performing Cabinet and Next-Gen Casino Tech to Indian Gaming Association Tradeshow 2026

Las Vegas-based Konami Gaming, Inc. has confirmed a major presence at the 2026 Indian Gaming Association Tradeshow & Convention, where it will present more than two dozen units of its Solstice 49C™ cabinet — currently ranked as the industry’s No. 1 Top Indexing Cabinet – Portrait Upright.

The event, held at the San Diego Convention Center on April 1–2, will also feature first-time showings of the new Red Fortune Rail™, Dragon Firecracker™, and BOMBERMAN slot series on the Solstice 49C platform, along with the highly anticipated Diggin’ Bros.™ title. In addition to land-based content, the company will spotlight its casino management systems portfolio and online gaming expansion.

Flagship Cabinet Anchors Expanding Slot Portfolio

Recognized as the No. 1 “Best New Core Cabinet” by casino operators in the EILERS-FANTINI G2E Vendor Survey, the Solstice 49C cabinet combines a portrait-style display with integrated lighting elements running from the topper to beneath the button deck. These dynamic lighting features respond to gameplay events in real time, creating an immersive floor presence.

Among the featured launches is the new BOMBERMAN slot series, which has earned a place in the Top 25 Indexing NEW Games – Core (Video Reel) in the EILERS-FANTINI U.S. & Canada Game Performance Report. Diggin’ Bros.™, another highlight of the lineup, has drawn attention for its animated sequences and bonus-driven “blast zones” embedded throughout gameplay.

“Stemming from Konami’s commitment to support tribal operators with the industry’s top essential entertainment, a large mix of must-have games are hitting the Annual Indian Gaming Association show floor,” said Deron Hunsberger, vice president of North American game sales at Konami Gaming, Inc. “From Konami’s No. 1 top indexing cabinet Solstice 49C to its No. 1 top indexing new game Money in the Bank, tribal gaming representatives have first-hand access to today’s leading new releases at the Konami booth.”

Dozens of Solstice 49C units will be available on-site, underscoring the company’s push to deliver proven, performance-driven product to tribal operators.

SYNKROS and Konetic Drive Operational Efficiency

Beyond the slot floor, Konami will emphasize its SYNKROS® casino management system, including the award-winning Konetic™ mobile application designed for casino operations teams.

“Supporting casinos with top-tier systems technology for their success is the focus for Konami’s SYNKROS team, which is the reason behind our award-winning Konetic mobile apps,” said Randy Caron, vice president of systems sales. “Konetic puts SYNKROS into the hands of the casino operations team with two primary goals: to increase casino operational efficiency and to improve responsiveness and quality of customer support on the casino floor.”

The company reports strong demand for mobile-enabled operational tools, particularly among properties seeking to streamline service response and optimize floor performance analytics.
 

Konami Online Interactive Makes Tradeshow Debut

This year’s event will also mark the first appearance of Konami Online Interactive as the dedicated global brand for the group’s iGaming operations. Within the DigitalPlay Summit, Booth #K1 will feature a portfolio of omni-channel slot titles delivered via the company’s proprietary remote gaming server (RGS).

The online release of the BOMBERMAN slot series stands out as a key iGaming focus for 2026, drawing attention from both online and hybrid operators seeking cross-channel brand continuity.

Attendees of the 2026 Indian Gaming Association Tradeshow & Convention are invited to visit Konami’s land-based booth #2325 and iGaming booth #K1 to explore the latest releases and technology innovations firsthand.
