Amid a record volume of nominations, Beat Square was selected to receive the gold medal for Best Slot Product in the 2018 awards.
Leveraging the company’s expertise in consumer arcade and video game entertainment, Beat Square challenges gamers to play, compete, and prove their skill in a game of rhythmic coordination across a lighted touch pad comprised of 16 square buttons.
"Beat Square offers a totally unique type of engagement unlike
anything else available in the market and is designed to drive untapped
audiences. Konami is committed to supporting the industry with innovative
productions that provide new entertainment options to reach expanding
demographics, so this recognition reinforces our key efforts,” said Steve
Walther, Konami senior director, marketing & product management.
"Beat Square is not only the industry’s first rhythmic dexterity skill-based
experience, it is also the first skill-based game with built-in, comprehensive
tournament functionality—allowing operators to launch synchronized competitions
across eight machines with live scorekeeping, multi-player teams, and
selectable song sets,” Walther added.
