Konami Gaming highlighted land-based slot series, iGaming content, and SYNKROS casino system updates at this year’s ICE London event at the ExCeL Centre, held February 6 – 8, which was attended by an estimated 40,000+ visitors.
Konami Stand #S8-110 attracted attention for new linked game series available on its DIMENSION slot cabinet hardware, with games like All Aboard, Stuffed Coins, Chili Chili Fire Hot Rush, and much more.
Representatives from Konami’s iGaming team and SYNKROS casino systems team were also occupied throughout the show with meetings to explore new releases available to current and prospective partners. The 3-day event created new connections, strengthened partnerships, and thoughtful product initiatives for the new year, according to the company.
Konami Gaming’s DIMENSION 49J is equipped with a 49-inch 4K Ultra HD (UHD) “J” curve display, and its streamlined frame and custom merchandizing options deliver entertainment over a wide variety of potential placement areas on the casino floor.
DIMENSION 49J’s custom-engineered button interface is contained within a lighted deck, with dual classic spin buttons and surface space for drinks, phones, and other personal effects.

Additional player conveniences include a wireless smartphone charging pad, USB port, and built-in handbag hook. During this year’s ICE London, guests discovered two anticipated linked series: Fortune Mint Trinity and All Aboard.
Fortune Mint Trinity takes Konami’s popular Fortune Mint and adds greater multiplier win potential through a trio of playable reel windows. Throughout game play, Trigger symbols marked with “Trinity” and “Double” appear across reel 1.
Anytime the player hits “Trinity” or “Double” on reel 1, a corresponding number of reel windows suddenly pop into the upper part of the screen, to continue the same spin with 3 unique outcomes. The more reel windows, the greater the win potential.
Similar to Konami’s classic Fortune Mint, Coin Symbol credit prizes are collected across the center reels whenever they appear in succession from left to right, with bonus multiplier and jackpot transformations for the center reel symbols. Any 3 or more Scatter Symbols across any of the reel windows awards up to 20 free games.
Wealthy Jade Cash is among the debut base games in this linked progressive series. Both base games include the Question Mark Feature from Konami’s hit Fortune Mint, which can result in massive multiplier win combinations and even the Grand progressive jackpot.
During the free game feature, the “Trinity” and “Double” symbols can appear frequently on reel 1. In addition, there is a unique Stamping Feature during the free games, which is applied to any reels with Coin symbols during the expanding reels feature.
Wealthy Red Cash is a compatible complement to Wealth Jade Class with its own free game feature. During the Free Games, “Trinity” and “Double” symbols can appear on reel 1 frequently. For an even greater chance at instant Coin prizes, this base game has a guaranteed Coin symbol on reel 1 throughout the free games feature.
Meanwhile, Konami’s All Aboard linked progressive series promises symbol-driven excitement. The game features a multi-level progressive, with comprehensive multi-denom options. Six or more train symbols trigger the All Aboard credit collection feature, “taking players on a journey to ample rewards and action-packed bonuses.”
Konami is now releasing two debut launch games for international markets: Dynamite Dash and Piggy Pennies—both able to compatibly combine for big linked jackpot awards across the entire All Aboard bank.
Players can enjoy symbol-driven bonus excitement with Dynamite Dash. Led by the game’s friendly frontiersman, they embark on a gold mining adventure through the old west, complete with credit collect features and integrated progressive jackpot opportunities. During the Stay & Spin bonus feature, collected credit prizes can each be awarded, up to nine times in the same round.
A crowned piggy bank character leads the way to premium pays in All Aboard launch title Piggy Pennies, which gives players the chance at a linked progressive grand jackpot, as well as four increasing bonus awards that scale according to selected bet level and denom.
DIMENSION 49 shares nearly all the same key elements of the DIMENSION 49J curved machine—including its sleek design, 4K Ultra-high definition (UHD) graphics, and custom-engineered button interface. But with a 49-inch flat portrait display, DIMENSION 49 offers a more streamlined cost option for a strong pipeline of core video slot content.
“It has all the ingredients for a thrilling player experience, combined with the array of original progressive slot series, to drive long-term entertainment variety and asset value to your venue,” says Konami. DIMENSION 49 gives more options to showcase popular portrait-screen games, on the latest powerful KXP platform.
Konami’s Chili Chili Fire has a new progressive link on DIMENSION 49. Chili Chili Fire Hot Rush showcases a new Repeat Rush credit collection feature, based on the popular Fade Away Feature first premiered in the original stacked screen slot.
The feature can be awarded anytime a coin symbol appears on the reels, immediately expanding the standard 5-reel frame up to 7 x 5, eliminating the picture symbols, and replacing them with high-value coin symbols and potential instant jackpot awards. The Repeat Rush feature continues until all symbol positions are filled.
The Red Fever edition of Chili Chili Fire Hot Rush features the iconic hero character from the original 5-reel game, his face circled in a heart-shaped ring of red chilies. Any 3 or more Chili Chili Fire symbols award up to 20 free games, where 3 or more Coin symbols guarantee the Repeat Rush Feature.
Chili Chili Fire Hot Rush Green Fever debuts a smiling new hero, similarly, circled in a heart-shaped ring of green chilies. This compatible base game includes a free game feature with 2 Coin symbols in 1. When players get this “Extra” coin, all Coin prizes are awarded again.
Favorite characters from Konami’s popular Great Guardians slot take on a new form in the All Aboard-style linked progressive series Great Guardians Link, which features a 1-level linked progressive Grand, 1-level standalone progressive jackpot, and 4 different bonus prizes that scale according to denomination and bet level.
In addition to working their way to jackpots during the familiar credit prize collection feature, players have the chance to win an instant standalone progressive jackpot randomly during primary play, as it randomly appears atop a Trigger symbol.
Granting attention to flexible configuration options, Konami has designed Great Guardians Link with Grand reset options at either $7,500 or $10,000, and a variety of multi-denom options. The series is planned to feature base games honoring each of the guardians, including Dragon, Phoenix, Tiger, and Tortoise.
Meanwhile, Great Guardians Link Dragon takes players “on a ride to big potential riches” under the watchful eye of a fierce blue dragon. Any 3 Dragon symbols award up to 9 free games. At the start of the free games, a rush of extra Wild symbols is added to the reels for even greater reward potential.
A fiery, great-winged creature fills the screen with anticipation in Great Guardians Links Phoenix. Its size and might previews a gigantic symbol feature in the free games, awarded with any 3 Phoenix symbols. Throughout the free game feature, the center reels are transformed into 1 oversized spinning reel, for big potential line wins, in addition to a chance at triggering the credit collection feature.
With classic slot game iconography, sounds, animations, and mechanics, Konami’s original new Super Golden Jackpots is billed as “a timeless throwback,” while also showcasing the attraction of today’s top video slots. This series features a standard 5-reel base game with a 5-level progressive jackpot structure, which can be linked or standalone, and is only available to players at max bet.
Super Golden Jackpots symbols appear across all reels, and whenever a least 5 land at the same time, the player is awarded a progressive jackpot, with increasing awards based on the number of Super Golden Jackpots symbols collected. Super Golden Jackpots Chasing 7s features upgrade opportunities to the game’s high-value 7 symbols.
These land-based products were complemented by an offering of online gaming titles at the show, designed for deployment via online social and for-wager sites; and the showcase of latest updates to Konami’s SYNKROS casino management system.
