Konami takes aim at Europe with K-Pow! Pig

Konami was at ICE showing K-Pow! Pig, a one-of-a-kind, linked progressive slot series that features a martial arts action pig in a red cape, eager to punch-up the excitement.

Across a backdrop of ornate, Asia-inspired graphics, this playful hero character serves as trigger symbol to the game’s signature K-Pow! Pig Feature. The feature can be awarded randomly with any 3 or more Pig trigger symbols that land, and it is guaranteed with any 6 or more Pig symbols in a single spin. The K-Pow! Pig Feature is a credit collection feature across a 3×5 frame with 3 spins to start. Only blank spaces and random credit prizes are displayed, with credit prizes locked upon landing. If 3 credit prizes fill a reel, players are awarded a Piggy Prize upgrade with the chance to add more and more credits onto the displayed credit prize amounts. If the entire 3×5 frame is filled with prizes, then the big Grand Jackpot is awarded.

Symbols of wealth and wisdom are shown throughout K-Pow! Pig debut base game The Ancient Dragon. Shimmering treasures shine from the reels, beside 3 powerful forces: dragon, tiger, and K-Pow! Pig. The Ancient Dragon is filled with classic Konami wintunes and covered in cool blue background hues, which transform to violet during the free game feature.

K-Pow! Pig’s happy gold pig is joined by a happy gold buddha in this series compatible base game. K-Pow! Pig Brilliant Buddha also includes a free game adventure. Any 3 medallions award 10 free games, where wild buddha symbols are added to reels 2, 3, 4, & 5 for big potential wins.

Elsewhere, Konami’s popular Lucky Honeycomb was back and buzzing with excitement! Lucky Honeycomb Fortune Bags and Lucky Honeycomb Fortune Pots feature the bright smiling honeybee characters from the classic Podium game, but with new linked progressive jackpots and the triple bonus mechanic made popular by Dragon’s Law Fortune. The series also showcases cross-machine animation effects spanning all connected machines. So in addition to flying down to the reel frame to scatter bonus symbols, the honeybees follow one another in formation across the entire bank/pod of machines.

Dragon’s Law Fortune combines the iconic flying dragon from Konami’s classic Dragon’s Law slot with a triple bonus mechanic, a symbol-driven progressive jackpot chance, and mystery wilds. Every reel can display yin-yang trigger symbols, which are randomly replaced with red, blue, or gold yin-yang symbols

Konami was also offering a robust library of player-favorite land-based games for deployment via online social and for-wager sites. Partnering with online operators across the globe, Konami brings popular classics like China Shores and Adorned Peacock, as well as new hits like K-Pow! Pig and Dragon’s Law Fortune, to diverse online audiences.

Through Konami’s RGS, Online operators can tap into time-tested game performance, with robust HTML5 delivery—compatible across smartphones, tablets, and desktop devices.
