2024 Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention Spotlights Bold Entertainment from Konami Gaming

Konami Gaming Inc. announced leading new releases arriving at the Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention in Anaheim, CA, on April 10–11, 2024, aimed at delivering bold entertainment and engagement value to tribal casinos. A slot series that’s shear excitement, Unwooly Riches is among the event’s big showcases, joining many new linked progressives available across Konami’s DIMENSION cabinet line. Konami’s newest large-format machine, DIMENSION 43×3 is also a new arrival at the Indian Gaming Tradeshow, with its 43-inch stacked monitors reaching nearly 9-feet into the air. Top SYNKROS casino systems advancements on the tradeshow floor include an award-winning mobile app, SYNKROS Progressive Management (SPM) floorwide progressive technology, and Gift & Go integration. In addition, Konami’s iGaming team is showcasing dozens of popular Konami slot creations available for online social and real money sites.
“Knowing the distinct creativity, visual appearance, and ingenuity that surround the latest releases, Konami and its customers are entering this year’s Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention with particular momentum and excitement. Our Konami team is working closely with casinos to deliver new entertainment value and top technology options to power their floor—both now and long into the future,” Tom Jingoli, executive vice president & chief operating officer at Konami Gaming, said.
With strong hardware performance and game software variety, Konami’s DIMENSION line of slot cabinets continues to achieve results, made further by the release of its big-screen DIMENSION 43×3 in the core for-sale product category. Across every DIMENSION form factor, guests can encounter fresh content such as Charms Full Link, Lucky Honeycomb Fortune, new All Aboard multi-game packs, and BUZZR slots filled with vintage gameshow TV charm. Konami’s Unwooly Riches is the most asked about new slot series, with its imaginative sheep character “Sugar” and goat character “Spice” locking horns in a playful battle to win the player’s favor.
“From unique slot hardware like DIMENSION 43×3 to incredibly eye-catching entertainment like Unwooly Riches, Konami has a wide array of creative game options available now for placement. And this drive toward new innovation is just as apparent across our SYNKROS casino systems technology, with tools to empower casino teams while enhancing guest convenience,” Jay Bertsch, senior vice president & chief commercial officer at Konami Gaming Inc., said.
Konami’s SYNKROS casino management system is providing important advancements to support the future of tribal operators—all available for customers to experience firsthand. SYNKROS Progressive Management (SPM) is a system-based, floor wide progressive jackpot and mystery Bonusing module which can be configured to run on a single machine, bank of machines, casino zones, or even the entire gaming floor. Operators can also take command with the latest features in Konami’s Konetic employee mobile application, including its new Patron and Finder modules. In addition, SYNKROS is now offering integration with Gift & Go, for on-demand player loyalty gifts selected digitally by the patron and shipped directly to their home address.
To equip tribal operators for omni-channel delivery of traditional land-based gaming and online gaming, Konami is pushing more proven land-based content to its online game library, through its owned remote gaming server (RGS), for robust HTML5 delivery—compatible across smartphones, tablets, and desktop devices. The company’s iGaming team is available throughout show hours to share how player-favorite Konami series like All Aboard and China shores are available for online social and real-money sites.

Caesars Entertainment Inc.
Caesars Entertainment Bolsters Online Casino Live Dealer Offering with the Launch of Branded Live Dealer Studio in Michigan

Caesars Entertainment Inc. announced the launch of its third branded online casino live dealer studio, available now to players on Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino in Michigan. Developed in partnership with Evolution, the new studio reinforces Caesars’ commitment to delivering world-class, immersive experiences across its online platforms, inspired by the iconic atmosphere of its Caesars Rewards destinations.
The debut of the new studio marks Caesars’ third branded live dealer studio that has opened in 2025 and draws inspiration from table game play at the Las Vegas Strip’s most iconic casino, Caesars Palace. Its opening follows the successful launch of Caesars’ first branded studio with Evolution in Pennsylvania in January. In April, the Company also debuted its first studio inside a Caesars Rewards destination at Tropicana Atlantic City in New Jersey.
“Our third live dealer studio expands our fully customized live dealer experience that is already extremely popular in Pennsylvania and New Jersey into another key jurisdiction where our online casino platforms are live. The studio design takes inspiration from our flagship destination, Caesars Palace, to authentically recreate the atmosphere of Las Vegas for online players. We look forward to our Michigan players enjoying the new experience,” said Matthew Sunderland, Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital.
The new live dealer studio in The Great Lakes State is composed of five blackjack tables, including a VIP-exclusive blackjack table, one roulette table, and one baccarat table. The tables are adorned with custom-branded felts featuring iconic Caesars destinations and each marquee online casino platform, including Caesars Palace Online Casino, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and, for the first time, Tropicana Online Casino.
Select tables also feature custom felts co-branded through partnerships with professional sports teams. Like Caesars Rewards destinations across North America, the studio caters to VIP players with an exclusive high-limit blackjack table offering an authentic 1-to-1 live experience that could previously only be found in a physical casino.
“As the global leader in online live casino with nearly two decades of experience, Evolution is proud to partner once again with Caesars to launch this bespoke live dealer studio in Michigan. The studio brings the unmistakable character of Caesars’ iconic destinations to the online space, offering players in the state a polished, immersive entertainment experience that mirrors the energy and elegance of the casino floor. It’s another bold step forward in our shared commitment to innovation and quality at scale in the online live casino market,” said Marcus Huber, Chief Commercial Officer of Evolution North America.
Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino are available on iOS, Android, and desktop for those 21 and older in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ontario, and West Virginia. Each platform offers a dynamic online casino experience with a range of unique Caesars-branded games alongside hundreds of classic land-based casino favorites and core casino game mechanics, including high limit slots, private live dealer tables, linked progressive jackpots, variations of poker and roulette, and more.
