Solstice features first-of-its-kind acrylic lighting elements that interact with in-game features
ICE Barcelona saw the launch of the all-new Solstice game cabinet line by Konami Gaming, which comes with a c-curve portrait screen machine called Solstice 49C, backed by a strong game library.
Solstice 49C delivers enhanced graphics, game power, and innovative attraction elements to the critical for-sale category. This video cabinet machine made its arrival with a 49-inch, c-curve display in 4K Ultra High-definition (UHD). Stretching from the height of the topper to below the button deck, Solstice 49C features first-of-its-kind acrylic lighting elements that interact with in-game features across a dynamic colour spectrum. This advanced lighting system delivers real-time visual feedback that reacts to every spin, win, and bonus round, for amplified player enjoyment. At the heart of Solstice 49C is an upgraded core chipset and GPU, fueling 4x greater computing power than the preceding platform. This inner strength delivers more fluid and responsive gameplay outwardly, for uninterrupted player enjoyment. Combined with enhanced spatial audio and bass-reflex technology, Solstice 49C delivers an elevated gaming atmosphere—both immersive and inviting.
In terms of new games, ICE saw the world’s first casino games based on Konami Digital Entertainment’s iconic BOMBERMAN are erupting with excitement on Solstice 49C! Inspired by legendary IP from the consumer video games space, BOMBERMAN BLAST and BOMBERMAN BOOM feature recognizable characters from the games, using classic BOMBERMAN bombs to help burst open bonus prize opportunities. Any 3 Bomber Game symbols award a hold and spin feature, though it may also be awarded randomly anytime a Bomber Game symbol lands on the reels. The hold and spin includes expanding reel positions and bombs that can multiply, unlock, and even combine coin prizes into one coin—freeing more spaces to redeem credits. The experience of this first-of-its-kind licensed title is a mind-blowing encounter for players on Konami’s latest game cabinet form factor.
Eduardo Aching, vice president of iGaming & international gaming operations at Konami Gaming, said: “The world’s first slot game inspired by BOMBERMAN is among the key omni-channel entertainment showcases at ICE 2026, available exclusively through Konami Online Interactive and Konami’s all-new Solstice game hardware. Solstice exemplifies the very latest game hardware technology, in everything from its spatial audio package to its signature acrylic lighting elements, which interact with in-game features across a dynamic colour spectrum.”
In addition to BOMBERMAN slot games, Konami was highlighting Red Fortune Rail at ICE 2026, with a high-energy nested bonus in the credit collection feature that amps the excitement for players through lucrative potential multipliers.
As an original new Konami creation, Red Fortune Rail is a train game with a uniquely attractive art aesthetic highlighting Asia-inspired elements and lighthearted animation effects. Red Fortune Rail invites players to experience a highly rewarding, nested hold and spin feature, supercharged with powerful multipliers and a high-energy Golden Fortune Rail bonus. Each of the series’ debut base games includes a different free game feature. Red Fortune Rail Blossoms offers free spins with stacked symbols, which transform to reveal Wild, Ingot, or Train symbols. And the free games in Red Fortune Rail Foliage have an animated train randomly gliding across the reels to scatter additional bonus symbols. Red Fortune Rail is a brilliant new creation on the gaming industry’s freshest cabinet machine.
Another key Solstice showcase is a triple bonus game called Dragon Firecracker, delighting players through its bright animations and jolly hero characters.
This brightly animated game boasts a jolly, bearded hero character, Dragon Firecracker gives players triple metamorphic dragons, with the power to transport them to a variety of free spin bonuses. The red DOUBLE FIRE dragon awards bonus Wild symbols. The blue “DOUBLE GAMES” dragon awards a bonus reel frame. And the purple “JACKPOT” dragon gives players the chance to collect letters to unlock potential progressive and bonus prizes. These dragons can work together in any combination during the free games, including all 3 at once. Dragon Firecracker also showcases a bonus Firecracker Feature, where the jolly hero character shoots crazy fireworks to the reels, giving extra Wild symbols. Appearing to casinos for the first time on Solstice 49C, Dragon Firecracker includes 2 different base game options for players to enjoy.

Also on show were Diggin’ Bros., where players have a blast with the funny characters and high-impact features, made especially unique by dynamite blast areas of the reels, at the left and right sides of the 4-5-5-5-4 reel frame. Fresh from Konami’s Australia studio, Fortune Hearts is a proven player favorite with a chivalry combat theme that is both lighthearted and high-energy.
