Sydney studio’s Chicken Fox, Silver Lioness 4x and Eagle Sun to go live in U.S. land-based casinos
Specialist slots provider Lightning Box has reached an agreement with Konami Gaming, Inc. to supply the Las Vegas-based manufacturer with several of its most popular titles.

“Konami has established a very strong customer base in the US and we’re really looking forward to the reaction of casino players, who can now enjoy our games in more places than ever.”
Victor Duarte, Senior Vice President & Chief Product & Strategy Officer at Konami Gaming, Inc., said: “Like us, Lightning Box has a proven track record in the United States, and it made sense to team up with them to deliver more great gaming content on our gaming machines.”
