Bomberman Slot Game opening at Graton Resort

Graton Resort & Casino in Rohnert Park, California, hosted the world premiere of Bomberman slot games, making its guests the first to play Konami’s new Bomberman Blast and Bomberman Boom titles and the first to experience Konami’s Solstice™ machine form factor outside Konami’s own demonstrations. 

Key Takeaways:

  • Graton Resort & Casino in California unveiled Konami’s new Bomberman slot games, making players the first to experience them.
  • The games incorporate iconic Bomberman characters with a triple metamorphic bomb mechanic linked to high-impact jackpots.
  • The event highlights Graton’s role as a launch pad for exclusive industry premieres amid a backdrop of record jackpots.

Slot Games Debut Brings Iconic Franchise to the Casino Floor

Taking direct inspiration from the 40-year-old video game franchise, the two-slot series uses familiar characters and iconography, White Bomberman and Black Bomberman, brick walls, speckled eggs and round cartoon bombs, integrated into a five-reel base and a triple metamorphic bomb mechanic that can trigger cash-on-reels prizes, bonus awards and a grand jackpot.

“For more than 40 years, Bomberman has broken down walls and taken players to new heights of adventure, and the world’s first slot games inspired by Bomberman are another example of his trailblazing pursuit of fun,” said John Eary, VP of Marketing at Konami Gaming. 

Graton Builds Track Record as Launch Partner for New Gaming Hardware

Konami previously showcased Solstice and Bomberman at the 2025 Global Gaming Expo, positioning the hardware as a new flagship for its content mix. Konami’s launch aligns with its broader push to expand gaming content and hardware across global markets.

The Graton debuts follow a pattern of the property hosting exclusive cabinet premieres this year, including IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Trio and AGS’s mechanical nudge titles, underscoring Graton’s role as a launch partner for manufacturers seeking live guest exposure. Industry reports note Wheel of Fortune slots have paid out nearly $3.6 billion in jackpots since 1996, illustrating the commercial draw such exclusives aim to capture.
