### **Las Vegas-based casino gaming manufacturer is recognized for its commitment to sustainable building practices.**

LAS VEGAS, April 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Konami Gaming, Inc., a global leader in
casino gaming and systems, was awarded the 2016 NAIOP Southern Nevada Spotlight 
Award for Sustainable/Green Building for the recently-completed expansion of its
its Vegas headquarters. This honor annually recognizes the regional commercial building
project that exemplifies sustainable principles as a driving force behind development.
Konami’s expanded facility more than doubled its original 160,000-square-foot building
with full Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) certification. It became
one of the state’s largest facilities to achieve complete geothermal heating and
cooling.

Our new headquarters has been designed and delivered with environmentally friendly
and energy-saving considerations in every aspect,” said Tom Jingoli, chief administration
officer and senior vice president at Konami Gaming, Inc. “Konami has always been
very [conscious of the environment](https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/11/spend-time-outdoors-can-increase-your-eco-consciousness/),
and so it was a natural fit for us to expand our facility with a goal of obtaining
LEED certification. We felt this was an important investment to demonstrate our 
commitment to being good corporate citizens.”
