TIME TO CONSOLIDATE YOUR KONAMI GAMES
Konami first launched their popular All Aboard game range over two years ago, yet their performance levels remain above average even on the original games. Following that success, they built on the aspects that gave the players the most positive experience and introduced some fresh game tweaks to launch their Bull Rush game range a year ago. Both game ranges are aimed at different player types with All Aboard popular among regular low and mid-tier players and the Bull Rush game range well suited to mid-high tier players. Now with new games for both All Aboard and Bull Rush, plus multigame options available, it is time to update and consolidate your Konami Concerto and Concerto stack machines as we set ourselves up for the busiest period of the gaming year.
All Aboard Game Range
The popularity of hold ’n spin style features across Australia is consistent and still growing. In their All Aboard games Konami has made the most of this high player recognition feature but have built in extra player anticipation and excitement with repeat wins. Six gold trains trigger the feature and reveal a range of credits or bonus prizes which can be won multiple times when players achieve additional train symbols. The players all know someone has won a feature when they hear the conductor yell “All Aboard!” adding to the atmosphere of excitement for all the players on the machine bank
Bull Rush and Bull Rush Blitz (Link) Game Range
In the Bull Rush game range, there is still the repeat win feature available for players, but Konami has added a fresh concept, the X-TRA hit feature, and the all-important addition of a $1 denomination.
The X-TRA hit feature occurs during the Bull Rush feature when two or more Bull symbols appear on the screen. During the feature ‘Silver Coin’ and ‘Gold Coin’ symbols are held. For each X-TRA hit symbol that appears all ‘Gold Coin’ credit prizes are won and at the end of any X-TRA hit win the X-TRA hit symbol changes into a ‘silver coin’ revealing either a Mega jackpot, bonus prize or credit prize win for the player.
New Games
All Aboard Express, All Aboard Express II and new All Aboard The Orient are all multigame packs that offer three of the All Aboard games in one machine. All Aboard Express includes Dynamite Dollars, Piggy Pays and Go West; All Aboard Express II includes Thai Treasures, Go West and Sahara Sunset and All Aboard The Orient includes Prosperous Panda, Shinobi and Eastern Dragon. By checking the recent performance results of the All Aboard games in your venue you may be able to refresh and consolidate your single games to provide the choice available in a multigame pack. This ensures you can offer your players additional game variety while maintaining their favourite games on the floor.
The first 3 Bull Rush and Bull Rush Blitz games, Toucan Twist, Roses & Riches and Golden Empress, have all maintained above average results across the NSW and QLD markets and the latest game in the range, Bull Rush-Yarr Matey is a fun pirate themed game that has headed straight to the top of the ranking reports. It will be joined by the next release Bull Rush-Aztec Empire soon. Updating some of the original Bull Rush games to these new games will give your venue a performance boost.
Update and Consolidate Now
With the summer months looming, the traditional start to the strongest quarter in the gaming year, now is the time to adjust and consolidate machines to ensure the best performing and most up to date games are ready for the players. September to December is the period of the year when venues have the largest return on investment for any purchased gaming product and this year, after lockdowns end across some parts of the country, we should see a good gaming boost as we did in June 2020.
