Konami Launches Opus in Caribbean Market

Konami Gaming announced that its new Concerto Opus large-format slot cabinet will make its debut in the Caribbean gaming market with a placement of six units at Casino Atlántico Manatí in Puerto Rico.

This spring, the 9,000-square-foot gaming venue added six Concerto Opus machines, each showcasing a 65-inch 4K Ultra HD display. In addition, the entire back-to-back bank is connected by Konami’s Treasure Ball progressive link.

“Casino Atlántico has long shown leadership in giving players top gaming entertainment options, and its Caribbean debut of Konami’s Opus machine is the latest example of this forward approach,” said Eduardo Aching, vice president of international gaming operations at Konami Gaming, Inc. “The venue’s six-bank installation is a hugely captivating presentation, especially when the game’s long-tailed dragon character flies across all the 65-inch screens simultaneously with incredible effect.”

Each of Casino Atlántico’s six Opus machines features a proven base game title, in addition to the $10,000-plus linked jackpot bonus game. Featured games include Lion’s Carnival, Chili Chili Fire, Great Guardians and Sparkling Roses, showcased on the big screen with a progressive jackpot chance that increases as players increase their extra bet contribution.

When the Treasure Ball progressive feature is randomly triggered, the game’s dragon character ignites the digital prize ball machine’s drop chute in a spinning whirl of flames. If it lands on a number, that number of random prize balls are awarded. The corresponding number of prize balls fly out of the machine and pop open to reveal instant credit and instant progressive prizes.

“We’re thankful for the work of the team from Casino Atlántico Manatí, as well as the work of Konami’s exclusive distributor for the region, HMS Gaming, to help bring this Caribbean premiere to players,” said Aching.
