The contract was for “core gaming technology” including software and hardware – “spanning 100-plus ships,” and would cover Carnival’s “entire global fleet”, stated a press release from Konami Gaming.
The cruise group’s 2017 annual report, issued in January, said it operated 103 ships as of the reporting period.
“After extensive evaluations, Konami not only had the robust technical infrastructure required to support our goals, but also the company values, culture and professionalism to foster true partnership,” said Marty Goldman, senior vice president, global casino operations, at Carnival Corp, in a prepared statement contained in the announcement.
Konami Gaming said its Synkros product would be in on-board casinos across nine Carnival Corp cruise brands: Carnival Cruise Line; Holland America Line; Princess Cruises; Seabourn; AIDA Cruises; Costa Cruises; Cunard; P&O Cruises (Australia); and P&O Cruises (U.K.).
“The launch of Synkros across its casino portfolio will equip Carnival Corp with a unified global system, bringing together marketing, reporting, analytics, accounting, and more,” said Tom Jingoli, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Konami Gaming, also quoted in the release.
