Konami Group reported gaming and systems revenue of JPY12.39bn (US$75.8m) for the three months to June 30th, an increase of 64.9% from JPY7.51bn a year earlier.
The division generated business profit of JPY827m, compared with a loss of JPY166m during the corresponding period in 2025.
Konami attributes the improvement to increased gaming machine sales, new casino openings and replacement demand at existing properties in North America and Australia. Sales were supported by the Solstice 49C cabinet. And the company says that games based on its Bomberman IP continued to perform above the North American casino floor average. Its Bull Rush Stampede series also recorded strong performance in Australia.
