The partnership aims to modernise BC Gold slots, which have been a staple in British Columbia's casinos for over two decades.



Key points:

- Konami Gaming will develop and deploy 245 new BC Gold video slots across 27 British Columbia casinos by Spring 2027

- The agreement transforms the traditionally mechanical BC Gold game into a video slot format while maintaining its progressive jackpot structure

Konami Gaming has been selected by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) as the exclusive provider for the next generation of BC Gold, the province's signature wide area progressive (WAP) slot product.

The agreement calls for a deployment of 245 new video slot machines, custom software and signage displays across 27 casino destinations in British Columbia by spring 2027.

The partnership marks an evolution for BC Gold, which has been a part of British Columbia's gaming landscape since 1999; for the first time, the traditionally mechanical reel-based game will be reimagined as a video slot experience.

The new BC Gold implementation will continue to feature its established two-tier progressive structure, offering players the chance to win a Mystery Gold Jackpot exceeding $100,000 and a Mystery Silver Jackpot of over $500.

These jackpots will remain linked across all BC Gold machines throughout the province.

Good to know: BCLC's selection of Konami followed a seven-month vendor review process, with the gaming manufacturer ranking highest in multiple categories

Commenting on the development, Dan Beebe, COO at BCLC, stated: “Since 1999, BC Gold has represented positive community impact and big jackpot potential for millions of guests across British Columbia, as BCLC’s own custom-created wide area progressive.

“Following an extensive, 7-month VRP review process, BCLC is excited to begin development on the next generation of BC Gold slots in partnership with the highest ranked provider for game design, win celebration feature, business/technical requirements and overall fit: Konami Gaming.”

Steve Sutherland, President and CEO at Konami Gaming, added: “This agreement is a significant milestone in many years of gaming entertainment partnership between BCLC and Konami Gaming, as we seek to introduce fresh technology improvements, new engagement and contemporary appeal to the much-loved BC Gold brand.

“Our Konami team is focused on complete fulfilment of expectations as we work closely with BCLC to create the future of BC Gold.”
