Konami horseracing electronic betting station sparks public interest

Of all the new varieties of table game, slots and more available at the most recent gaming expo in the SAR, of particular interest was the prototype of the Konami ‘Fortune Cup’ horseracing betting station. The company notes that the response was very positive, according to product and marketing manager for Konami Australia Pty Ltd., Charles Seo, as noted by GGRAsia. The product’s combination of a traditional horseracing-themed mechanical game with digital betting stations was presented at the three-day trade show in Macau last week as one of the main attractions of the Konami booth.
‘It brings a little bit more fun to players: they can physically see the horses on the track running rather than on the screen,’ the Konami marketing manager stated to GGRAsia, while adding that Macau has been a more difficult market for Konami, but that the group has a ‘long-term view’ of the city’s prospects.
