Konami to Launch BC Gold Progressive Slots Across 27 Casinos in British Columbia

The longstanding BC Gold mechanical reel game — active since 1999 — is being reimagined by Konami as a digital video slot with a two-tier progressive jackpot system: a Mystery Gold jackpot exceeding CAD 100,000 and a Mystery Silver jackpot around CAD 500. The rollout includes 245 new machines and enhanced casino signage, backed by a rigorous seven-month selection process by BCLC. This marks a major modernization effort curated to boost player engagement while preserving the game’s classic branding and heritage.

Konami executives described the update as “a proud evolution of a Canadian gaming icon,” highlighting collaboration with local venue managers and player testing feedback. The BCLC noted that replacing aging equipment with advanced systems would improve reliability, security, and appeal across its entertainment properties.
