History
KONAMI was founded in Osaka in 1973 by Kagemasa Kozuki, whom the group still lists as chairman. Its corporate history records the founding of Konami Australia Pty Ltd in 1996 to make gaming machines for the Asia-Pacific market and the establishment of Konami Gaming, Inc. in the United States in January 1997; the group describes itself as the first Japanese company to enter the US gaming-machine market, in 2000. A Las Vegas office and production facility opened in 2005 and a second Gaming & Systems factory there in 2015.
From a facility of more than 300,000 square feet next to Harry Reid International Airport, Konami Gaming designs, builds and sells slot machines and the SYNKROS casino management system for North America, Europe, Latin America, Singapore and Macau, with branches in Panama, Argentina and Europe and distributors in other regions. Its iGaming segment, Konami Online Interactive, delivers land-based titles such as China Shores, All Aboard and African Diamond to online social and real-money operators through a company-owned remote gaming server. In August 2026 it announced ISO 27001 certification for the information security system behind SYNKROS and Konami Online Interactive.
