Konami Gaming is a division of the Japanese video game giant that focuses on casino gaming in the U.S. and beyond. Konami has some of the most original games and content in slots but has fallen behind some of the larger companies in the era of consolidation and acquisitions. Tom Jingoli, the senior vice president and chief commercial officer for the company, explains how a new strategy deployed by CEO Steve Sutherland has brought fresh blood into Konami’s leadership and has the company poised to compete in sectors it had not previously emphasized.
