Hong Kong-listed software supplier Dynam Japan Holdings Co. Ltd. used last week’s G2E Asia trade show to launch a casino slot game featuring elements of pachinko, produced in partnership with Singapore-based hardware supplier Weike Gaming Technology Pte. Ltd.
The new product, branded DynamicW, tis to be released first in the Macau market, with other jurisdictions following soon after, said Daven Tay, Weike’s executive director, in comments to GGRAsia.
“Our first target market is Macau, and our first game has already been approved” by the Macau gaming regulator, said Tay. The new game—called “Fortune Frogs”—is part of a pachinko bonus series that is being developed under an agreement between Dynam Japan and Weike.
A second game of the series, dubbed “Mid-Autumn Festival,” has already been submitted to Macau’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau, a body also known as DICJ, for approval, said Tay.
“We are now talking with all the big operators in Macau,” Tay told GGRAsia. “But we plan to launch the product with a bundle of games, and we are now developing a third new game, which will complete this (pachinko bonus) series.
“The priority will be to launch it later this year with a bundle of games. Somewhere in October or early November.”
The Fortune Frogs game is featured in Weike’s Emperor cabinet. The game includes a pachinko bonus feature that is triggered when at least three special symbols appear on reels one to five.
