Konami Gaming’s Money in the Bank slot series ranked No. 1 Top‑Indexing New Core (Video Reel) Game by Eilers & Krejcik Gaming and Fantini Research.
The latest EILERS-FANTINI U.S. & Canada Game Performance Report lists Money in the Bank Bacon Blvd. and its compatible complement Money in the Bank Pay Out West as the industry’s No. 1 and No. 5 highest ranking slot games in this category, respectively.
The game series debuts a novel “shake the bank” and “break the bank” mechanic within a hold and spin feature, giving players the chance to tap into a bonus bank of funds again and again. Money in the Bank is engineered with flexible hardware and software configurations, enabling casinos to optimize performance and floor strategy.
“Money in the Bank is giving players a unique and rewarding experience on the casino floor, based on independent industry data and reporting,” said Steve Sutherland, CEO of Konami Gaming, Inc. “Konami is committed to supporting customers with this top performing title, the global gaming industry with this newest industry top-performing title, available now across four different machine from factors.”
Money in the Bank gets its name for a bonus bank of funds, displayed as a persistent meter atop the bank building throughout primary play. This bank meter continues to grow as primary play progresses, based on credit prize amounts displayed on scatter Coin symbols that don’t trigger the feature.
Any 6 or more of the scatter Coin symbols transport players to Money in the Bank’s hold and spin feature, where value of the bank meter can be awarded in part with a random “shake the bank” event, and in its entirety with a random “break the bank” event. And with every spin in the feature, the bank meter boosts back to the original amount—giving players the chance to win money from the bank meter many times over in the same feature.
Tom Jingoli, President & COO at Konami Gaming, added, “In addition to Money in the Bank’s innovative mechanics, the game’s playful art, animation, sounds, and in-game bonus surprises are specifically designed to delight today’s players. Money in the Bank is a highly imaginative Konami creation that we are excited to expand to markets across the globe.”
