RPG Giant Konami to Rehaul Famous Vintage Slot Machines The Canadian state of British Columbia is upgrading its famous slot machine BC Gold. To do so, it will employ the help of gaming giant Konami. Konami are most well known as a video game stalwart, responsible for RPG titles such as Silent Hill and Castlevania. Yet they also have an arm that deals with mechanical amusement machines, and they have just received the contract to overhaul a much-loved Canadian slot game. This will involve the development of 245 new video slot machines placed across 27 casinos in the province of British Columbia. Slot Gaming in Canada Slot games have become immensely popular in British Columbia and Canada as a whole. There are an estimated 67,000 physical machines in the country. A study by Cardus revealed that slot game are responsible for around 51% of the country s total online gaming revenue, and it is this accessibility that has made them popular. There are numerous slot games available, with different mechanics and bonus structures. The slot in question is known as BC Gold, owned and managed by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. It is the province s signature wide-area progressive slot. This means that games are connected across multiple casinos, with each game paying a small fraction into a large jackpot total. Whoever wins this often bags a large amount, with many being life-changing sums of money. You can also find games like this online. As well as new machines, the contract will involve custom signage and software to operate the games. BC Gold itself was introduced in 1999 and has remained a mechanical slot since. However, it is now slightly dated in the age of online video slots. It has been announced that the two-tier payout system, much loved, will remain. This involves both a Mystery Silver and Gold Jackpot. The silver is a sum of around $500, with the gold often being far in excess of $100,000. Who are Konami? Konami were selected as part of a seven-month vendor review process. They ranked highly on multiple counts. These featured game design, win celebration features, along with business and technical requirements. The President and CEO at Konami, Steve Sutherland, announced that the agreement was "A significant milestone in many years of gaming entertainment partnership between BCLC and Konami Gaming, as we seek to introduce fresh technology improvements, new engagement and contemporary appeal to the much-loved BC Gold brand.” This may be an indicator that many of its interesting mechanics from RPG games could find their way into the next generation of iGaming machines. Konami is a Japanese multinational company with branches all around the globe, including India. As well as video games, they have many other branches, such as trading cards and anime. It also has its fingers in some distinctly Japanese pastimes, such as pachinko machines. These are ball-bearing-based slot-type games, which operate in a loophole allowing people to gamble in Japan. Its original purpose was to manufacture jukeboxes. In May of this year, Konami moved some of its business interests to different subsidiaries. Part of its amusement development sector moved to a new company named Konami Arcade Games. This is specifically for slots and race games. The previous section, which was under Konami Amusement, will focus solely on the Japanese Pachinko market. Progressive Jackpot Slots Every few months, local media is awash with tales of people who have won big on BC Gold. This has given it a legendary status amongst online casino games for real money in Canada. However, by no means is it the only progressive slot available, either on a physical casino machine or online. Last June, a player bagged 5,026.5x their initial stake on the Majestic Express Gold Run slot. Placing a $20 bet, they walked away with a $100,530 win. Created by veteran developer Pragmatic Play, the game is very similar to BC Gold in its layout, with mining carts and golden nugget wins. This game boasts a 20,000x win potential. While the person was unnamed, they were a VIP player, meaning they had probably deposited large amounts regularly. One of the biggest slot game wins was from a resident of the Okanagan. Placing just a simple $3 wager, Greg Moroso managed to turn it into $1.4 million. Once again, this was on a progressive slot named Powerbucks, which he was playing at the Chances Casino. He said he only chose to play the machine because it had a comfortable seat. After telling his wife, he said it took her around 48 hours for the news to sink in. However, the biggest win ever on a progressive jackpot slot in Canada was in 2019. This took place on the Mega Moolah progressive slot game. It has also had smaller payouts of $13.2 million in Yukon Gold Casino in 2020. There are plenty of these progressive jackpots you can play online, including Mega Moolah. For RPG fans, many new games by studios like NoLimit City are using RPG elements in their titles. While slots, they have elements like boss fights, level structures and character choice influencing game outcomes. However, it is worth noting that gambling should be done safely and responsibly. It is a form of entertainment, something to entertain as opposed to making money.
