Pariplay® launches Konami Gaming content with DraftKings
NeoGames S.A subsidiary Pariplay®, the leading aggregator and content provider, has delivered captivating games from Konami Gaming, Inc. to DraftKings in New Jersey for the first time.
The launch follows the recent integration of the leading provider’s content onto the Fusion® aggregation platform and sees top-tier sports betting operator DraftKings significantly strengthen its gaming offering in Garden State.
Synonymous with innovation and quality, the integration of Konami’s online portfolio of popular land-based casino titles onto the Fusion® platform allows DraftKings to serve its players with a range of popular classics and modern top titles that push the limits of originality while providing quality in every detail.
DraftKings, the sole vertically integrated sports betting operator in the United States, has already seen success in New Jersey with the launch of content from Wizard Games, Pariplay’s in-house games studio.
The collaboration is the latest in a series of major strides made by Pariplay in North America, as it looks to consolidate its position as the leading aggregation platform on the continent.
Shivan Patel, VP North America, Pariplay, said: “Both DraftKings and Konami are iconic names both in North America and around the world. Connecting both parties to players is a very exciting moment for us.
“Konami’s heritage in the land-based sector plays very well with online players and with such a large audience to put its game in front of through DraftKings, the potential of this launch is huge.”

Hacksaw Gaming and DraftKings Score Again in Ontario
2023 saw Hacksaw Gaming go live in West Virginia and New Jersey and now we have made our long-awaited entry in Ontario, Canada. Securing this trio has hit new heights and hopes for further successes throughout the rest of this year.
DraftKings Casino entered the iGaming market in Ontario in May of 2022 and partnered with Hacksaw Gaming in the back end of the same year. As Ontario’s regulated iGaming market only went live in April of 2022, the pair have given an outstanding performance with effective launch strategies and expansive footing in North America.
Apart from gaining an unprecedented reach across regulated markets, the mobile-friendly format of Hacksaw Gaming games can be visited on phone or tablet via the DraftKings Casino app. Boasting an impressive online casino’s selection of over 300 games, DraftKings now welcomes Hacksaw Gaming favourites such as Chaos Crew, Mines, Omnom and Boxes.
“The benchmarks we have set as a partnership are remarkable and we are ready to take on more challenges continuing into 2024,” the Chief Executive Officer for Hacksaw Gaming, Marcus Cordes, said.
