Konami Gaming has officially expanded into the regulated real-money online casino market in Italy through a strategic partnership with Betflag. The launch marks an important strategic achievement in the company’s long-term global digital growth roadmap. It strengthens the company’s footprint in key European iGaming markets. Italy’s online gaming sector is among Europe’s most mature and competitive regulated markets. Advanced digital payment systems support strong player engagement. The regulatory framework also promotes responsible and sustainable industry development.
Under the partnership, Betflag becomes the first Italian operator to fully integrate and distribute Konami’s comprehensive online slot game portfolio across both mobile and desktop platforms. The rollout gives Italian players access to premium digital entertainment content that delivers seamless performance, immersive graphics, and secure real-money wagering functionality. The launch catalogue features several of Konami’s widely recognised slot titles, including All Aboard™, China Shores™, and Lotus Land™. Each title combines classic slot entertainment elements with modern gameplay mechanics, bonus reward features, and visually engaging thematic design.
Eduardo Aching, Vice President of iGaming & International Gaming Operations at Konami Gaming, said the Italian launch with Betflag is a major milestone in the company’s international commercial strategy. He added that Betflag’s strong brand reputation supports its customer service focus and commitment to responsible gaming standards. This makes it a valuable partner for introducing real-money online slot content to European audiences. The collaboration enhances entertainment diversity for Italian players while supporting the continued development of regulated digital casino ecosystems.
Konami Gaming manages its European business operations through its EU-licensed branch located in Koper, Slovenia. The regional hub provides technical integration assistance, operational support, and commercial coordination services for partner operators across Europe. The company aims to further expand its regulated market presence by delivering high-quality online gaming content globally.
