myKONAMI Slots

myKONAMI Slots is a free-to-play social casino from PLAYSTUDIOS, launched in 2015, built on genuine Konami slot machines rather than original designs.

It runs on the same two-currency model as its stablemates. Chips are what you spin with and have no cash value. Loyalty Points are earned through play and belong to the myVIP programme, which redeems for real-world rewards.

That loyalty layer is what makes the playAWARDS games different from ordinary social casinos, and myKONAMI sits alongside myVEGAS Slots and MGM Slots Live in that family. We cover all three.

The loyalty system is the reason to choose this game, so it is worth understanding properly, including its limits.

Playing earns Loyalty Points, and points are earned per volume of chips bet, with the rate varying by tier and machine. Higher myVIP tiers carry multipliers, so the same play earns more points as you climb.

Because points scale with volume rather than with winning, the community strategy is to favour high-volume, lower-volatility play. You are accumulating points by putting chips through machines, not by getting lucky on them.

The geographic catch

This matters and it is rarely stated clearly: while the game is available broadly, myVIP rewards redemption is primarily US-centric, oriented around MGM properties and US partners, with more limited options elsewhere.

So if you are outside the US, you can play and you can accumulate points, but what you can actually redeem them for is considerably narrower. Check what is in the rewards catalogue for your region before treating the loyalty programme as the reason to play.

Tier 7 and the personal host

At the top of the ladder, Tier 7 (Tanzanite), players unlock a personal myVIP host. Community reports describe hosts providing ad-hoc chip bonuses by email, in the range of 15 to 50 million chips, once or twice a week.

That is community-reported rather than published by PLAYSTUDIOS, so treat the specifics as indicative. The tier and the host arrangement itself are documented.

Points are tied to your myVIP account and cannot be transferred, gifted or sold. Anyone offering to sell you points is running a scam.

• Welcome bonus: 2,000,000 chips for new players.
• The 2-hour bonus: A chip bonus every two hours, highlighted in the game's own store listings.
• Daily bonus wheel: A separate daily spin.
• Friend gifts: Chips exchanged between friends.
• Daily events: Rotating events paying chips.
• VIP boosted bonuses: Higher myVIP tiers increase what the standard bonuses pay.
• Official link posts: PLAYSTUDIOS posts chip links on the game's official channels.

Note that all of these pay chips rather than Loyalty Points. Points come from playing, so free chips help indirectly by funding more play, which is what accumulates points.

No promo code system is documented for this game. Free chips arrive as links and in-game bonuses rather than as codes to type in.

Given that points cannot be transferred, gifted or sold, be especially wary of anything offering myVIP points for sale or through a code. Points are earned through play and tied to your account, full stop.

No. Chips are virtual, cannot be withdrawn, and cannot be redeemed for cash.

Loyalty Points do redeem for real-world rewards, but that is a comps programme rather than a payout: points are earned by playing, cannot be wagered, and cannot be converted to money.

PLAYSTUDIOS publishes no return-to-player figures, hit rates or jackpot odds for any machine.

myKONAMI Slots runs on iOS and Android, with strong store ratings, reported around 4.7 in some regions.

The game continues to expand with themed machines, and the myVIP benefits have been formalised over time, including extra chips on purchases, higher bonuses at upper tiers and the personal host arrangement at the top.

myKONAMI is one of three playAWARDS games we cover, all running the same loyalty programme.

• myVEGAS Slots: The original playAWARDS title from 2012, with the largest rewards catalogue in the family.
• MGM Slots Live: Also PLAYSTUDIOS, with the same myVIP points and an MGM focus.
• POP! Slots: Another PLAYSTUDIOS game distributing chip links the same way.
• Gold Fish Casino Slots: A conventional social casino on real WMS and Bally machines, if the loyalty angle does not apply to you.
• Heart of Vegas: Aristocrat's cabinets, with a more generous free-coin schedule and no loyalty scheme.

Within the playAWARDS family the loyalty programme is shared, so pick on machines: Konami here, MGM branding on MGM Slots Live, the broadest catalogue on myVEGAS. If you are outside the US, the loyalty argument weakens across all three and a conventional social casino may serve you better.
