Betflag S.p.A. has implemented the first launch of titles from Konami Gaming, Inc. that will be used by Italians, with games accessible via either a smartphone, tablet, or computer. The titles included in the launch are All Aboard, China Shores, and Lotus Land.
While the actual location is perhaps less important than the mechanics of its delivery, a well-known land-based supplier is now present within a tightly regulated online space, courtesy of a platform operator which claims a “first” for delivering Konami’s online slot machines for real money.
Why This Is a Milestone for Konami’s iGaming Track
This Italy launch is one of the first visible movements under Konami Online Interactive, the division Konami established in October 2025, focusing on iGaming as a unique business concept, along with other segments like cabinet and casino systems.
In another part, BetFlag management is presenting the rollout as a model they hope to duplicate in various regulated markets. In prepared remarks related to the rollout, Eduardo Aching dubbed it a “milestone moment” and related it to expansion in regulated markets.
A European Delivery Footprint Behind the Launch
In addition to that, Konami is placing more stress on operational readiness in-region. According to the company, Konami’s licensed European branch is based in Koper, Slovenia, and offers direct service and support to operators throughout Europe.
On the operator’s side, the company’s profile on Betflag’s website suggests that the project is being rolled out on a scaled platform, as Betflag’s history states it was founded in 2012 and has been part of the Lottomatica Group since 2022.
Key Takeaways
This story is not actually about three slots, but rather conversion – the potential for a supplier with a lengthy land-based recognition to convert this into online market share within Italy’s regulated online space. The meaningful data point to watch will be the rate at which this library accumulates on Betflag, and whether other Italian operators mirror the supplier addition.
