Konami Gaming Releases “Ocean Spin” in North America
Konami Gaming Inc. has announced the release of its Ocean Spin video slot series for availability in North America, following high rates of ongoing performance across debut locations.
The premium linked progressive game is featured on Konami’s award-winning DIMENSION 49J machine, which has seen widespread success since premiering last year with Konami’s popular All Aboard game. Ocean Spin is the industry’s No. 1 top-performing New Premium Video Title, according to ReelMetric’s April 2021 ReelHot Index.
“Ocean Spin has shown an exceptionally strong arrival for initial casino sites in the US. The game’s eye-catching wheel spin bonus, transportive play environment, and outstanding presentation on the casino floor, all come together for a winning slot entertainment spotlight,” Tom Jingoli, Executive VP and COO of Konami Gaming, said.
Konami’s Ocean Spin is the second premium series released on its DIMENSION 49J cabinet, which features a 49-inch, J-curve display in 4K Ultra High-Definition. At the top of each game screen, animated bubbles float seamlessly across every connected machine, filled with potential bonus opportunities. During the game’s signature Ocean Spin Feature, the player is invited to spin the animated bonus prize bubbles by swiping across the large touchscreen display. Prize bubbles whiz across the entire bank or pod, until the spinner lands on a credit award, free games, or instant progressive jackpot with full-screen celebration.
“This premium linked series offers a wide mix of bonus experiences for players, including unique symbol-driven events for each of the compatible base games: Kingdom’s Treasures and Pirate’s Riches. Konami is thrilled by the strong performance results and player response achieved with DIMENSION 49J, and we look forward to continued growth for this proven cabinet format,” Tom Jingoli added.
