Who Konami Gaming is
Most people know Konami for video games. The Japanese company was founded in 1969 and made Metal Gear, Castlevania and Pro Evolution Soccer. Konami Gaming is its casino business, based in Las Vegas. It builds slot cabinets, casino management systems and, more recently, online versions of its machine games. Its cabinets are found on casino floors across the Americas, Asia and Australia.
Online, Konami is a selective supplier. It releases fewer titles than online-first studios and focuses on games that already work on its cabinets.
What Konami slots are known for
- Land-based maths. Games designed for casino floors, with steady base-game hits and bonus rounds that build anticipation.
- Action stacked symbols. Konami’s signature feature, where symbols stack and transform for bigger line hits.
- Asian themes. Many of its best sellers, such as the Fortunes of the Orient line, use Asian imagery popular in Macau and on US floors.
- No bonus buys. As land-based adaptations, its games rarely offer feature buys.
Best Konami games
Bull Blitz Fortunes of the Orient is the Konami slot in our library. It’s part of a series built around a charging bull, coin features and jackpots. Its RTP isn’t confirmed in our data, which is typical for land-based ports where casinos can choose from several settings. Check the game’s info screen.
Where South Africans can play Konami slots
Konami’s online games are rare at South African-facing casinos. We haven’t confirmed a South African provincially licensed online casino that lists them. Offshore casinos with very large libraries, such as 1Win, are the likeliest place to find them; 1Win offers 500% up to R75,000 over 4 deposits and is licensed in Curaçao, so you have no provincial board to complain to. Check the lobby before you deposit for a specific Konami title.
If you want the land-based experience legally, Konami cabinets also sit on the floors of licensed casino resorts.
Land-based ports and RTP
Casino-floor slots are often sold to operators in several RTP versions, because land-based casinos set their own hold. When these games move online, the same thing happens. That’s why Konami RTPs vary between sites, and why the figure in the game’s info screen is the only one that counts for your session.
Similar studios
The other big American cabinet makers in our library are IGT and Light & Wonder. For Asian-themed slots with free demos, try Habanero and PG Soft. Our slots page lists every demo we can show.

Can I play Konami slots online in South Africa?
