Section 2. Business- Management Policy, Operating Environment and Issues to Be Addressed
This section explains the Company group’s (“the Group”) management policy, operating environment and issues to be addressed.
Statements involving the future in this section are based on judgments by the Group as of the end of 2025.
Management Policy
The basic management policy of the Group is to create enjoyment as a total global entertainment company and to participate in the forming of a society with dreams.
Specifically, as a manufacturer engaged in the research, development, manufacture and sales of Pachislot and Pachinko machines and peripheral equipment, the Group is offering enjoyment for all players. At the same time, by operating OKADA MANILA, an integrated resort in Manila, Philippines, the Group is dedicated to becoming a source of enjoyment for people worldwide as a provider of comprehensive entertainment that gives large numbers of customers’ memorable experiences.
Business Strategy
The Japanese amusement equipments industry is continuing to shrink slowly because of a downturn in the number of customers and utilization rates caused by the declining birth rate, diversification of leisure activities and decrease in the number of players. The number of amusement machines installed and sold is decreasing as the number of stores falls. In the Pachislot category, utilization rates remain high as installations of smart Pachislot machines continue. These machines are expected to capture an even larger market share. Although sales of the Group’s machines decreased briefly when regulations were tightened, the Group remains a leader in this market category due to the development of revolutionary systems and highly appealing products. The Group will continue to use its content and technological strengths to develop machines that are attractive as a source of fun for players. In addition, there will be measures to lower costs by developing technologies and manufacturing products even more efficiently with the goal of maintaining the stability of results of operations and achieving more growth.
OKADA MANILA, an integrated resort in the Manila Bay region of the Philippines, is the only integrated resort in the Philippines that has received a five-star Forbes Travel Guide rating. The resort is now the standard for the development of large integrated resort hospitality in the country. Located on a 30-hectare site in the Entertainment City district, OKADA MANILA operates a unified and integrated resort which has gaming, hotel, food and beverage, retail, wellness and large-scale event facilities. The resort’s design concept and policy for operations combine the Japanese attention to detail with the warmth of people in the Philippines. The combination of these strengths enables guests to enjoy experiences during their stay that create value and is an integral part of the services provided by the staff of the resort.
Operating Environment
In the amusement equipments industry, there are measures to enhance game playing characteristics and many activities for increasing the use of smart Pachislot and Pachinko machines, which include functions for the prevention of fraud and addiction issues. In the Pachislot category, most of the new titles recently sold by manufacturers are smart Pachislot machines. In the Pachinko category, the number of smart Pachinko machines in use is increasing slowly and the market share is climbing. This shift in the Pachislot and Pachinko market created new sales opportunities by using revolutionary systems, upgrading content and software, and utilizing advanced technologies, and ultimately resulted in an increase in market share. We have responded with speedy and flexible manner to these shifts in the market and development conditions in order to develop and sell highly appealing machines that help pachinko parlors to attract more players. These accomplishments demonstrated the superiority of the Group’s Pachislot and Pachinko machines. Furthermore, the Group’s highly appealing machines are playing a role in energizing the entire amusement machine industry in Japan.
The Integrated Resort Business has been growing rapidly due to a business climate in the gaming market of the Philippines that is better than in other countries because of low taxation, including a low gaming tax rate and an income tax exemption, and low cost of labor. A growing number of mass market customers in the Philippines and an increase in visitors from other countries have also contributed to the growth of this business. However, due to a sharp drop in sales in the VIP category, competition among all integrated resorts in the Philippines to attract mass market customers in the Philippines is becoming more heated.
Priority businesses and financial issues
Amusement Equipments Business
The business climate for this business remains challenging because of the declining number of players and utilization rates at Pachinko parlors. Market conditions have been improving because of the strong performance of smart Pachislot machines. However, the number of Pachislot and Pachinko players are decreasing because of Japan’s declining birth rate and increasing diversity of leisure activities. The Group will continue to supply amusement machines that make a big contribution to the operations of pachinko parlors through developing unique and appealing titles and leveraging its manufacturing capabilities, and thereby will strive to increase its market share while invigorating the market.
Patent Strategy
The Group has long been aware of the importance of creating and protecting intellectual property, and has worked towards the establishment of a system that enables it to acquire patent rights for superior inventions through standardization of patent applications. Also, the Group has been working to improve the quality of its patent applications and improve the ratio of patent registrations to submitted applications, by establishing a structure whereby individual inventions are categorized into different technical fields and applications for patents are filed for a group of inventions in each technical field. The technologies which the Group has acquired or applied for patents are considerably more effective and commercially viable than those of its competitors. The Company intends to fully apply these technologies in the development of its products to improve the value of said products, thereby differentiating them from the competition in terms of technology. The Company believes this will enable it to achieve a competitive advantage. Also, in order to secure license revenue from its patents, the Company will move forward vigorously with strategies for both patent utilization and the protection of its patent rights when said rights are violated.
Integrated Resort Business
OKADA MANILA, an integrated resort facility operated by the Group, was created to meet the expectations of customers, whether from the Philippines or other countries. This resort has a luxurious hotel, fine dining with cuisine of many countries, high-end shopping facility, The Fountain (a multi-color fountain that is one of the largest of its type in the world), and Cove Manila, an all-weather dome that has a beach club. Everyone at this resort is dedicated to providing guests with exceptional hospitality and experiences of the highest quality. To attract an even larger number of guests, OKADA MANILA plans to expand the gaming area for serving different customer segments and open more stores and restaurants.
Objective Indicators Used to Determine Progress Concerning Performance Targets
In the Amusement Equipments Business, the Group will gather information from the market and further reinforce the sales framework in order to capture the No. 1 market share position by securing unit sales through the provision of Pachislot and Pachinko machines that match diversifying market needs. Additionally, the Group will build a lean management framework by improving operational efficiency, and strive to forge a stable and profitable management structure.
In the Integrated Resort Business in the Philippines, the main performance indicator is the adjusted segment EBITDA.
- Sustainability Stance and Activities
This section explains the stance and activities of the Group about sustainability.
Statements involving the future in this section are based on judgments by the Group as of the end of 2025.
Governance and risk management concerning sustainability
The Group believes that a world in which people are physically and spiritually healthy and there is a sound natural environment is essential for the enjoyment of various forms of entertainment. We consider the measures concerning climate change due to GHG emissions and other environmental problems, social issues involving respect for diversity, human resources and other matters, and other issues as the Group’s important management objectives. In addition, the Group is dedicated to providing consideration for customers, business partners, shareholders, employees, the public and all other stakeholders and to working with these people in order to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society. The Board of Directors oversees all aspects of sustainability and Representative Director and President is responsible for making final management decisions about these issues. The goal is to build a framework for taking actions concerning sustainability issues, establishing a basic policy for sustainability, and reinforcing initiatives for progress involving sustainability.
Activities to address climate change
The Company has many energy conservation activities, including the use of LED lights at the head office and factories and the use of hybrid vehicles for the entire corporate fleet. In addition, the core Amusement Equipments Business uses operating units and components that are compatible with many models for the purpose of reducing industrial waste. There are also many activities centered on the three R’s (reduce, reuse, recycle) to lower the Group’s environmental impact. The following table shows the recycling rate of this business.

- Business and Other Risks
This section explains the major risk factors, from among items involving business operations and financial soundness as stated in this Securities Registration Report, that management believes may have a significant effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Group recognizes the possibility that these problems may occur and is taking appropriate preventive actions. No information about the magnitude or timing of the potential problems associated with these risk factors is provided because of the difficulty of determining reliable predictions. Statements involving the future in this section are based on judgments by the Group as of the end of 2025.
Amusement Equipments Business
According to the “Act Concerning Regulation and Proper Operation of Businesses Affecting Public Morals,” Pachislot and Pachinko machines need to meet the “technical standards” defined in the National Public Safety Commission’s rules (Regulations Concerning Authorization and Model Approval for Amusement Machines). Each type of machine must pass the model test conducted by the designated testing organization (Security Communications Association/ GLI Japan I.S.H.) and the model inspection conducted by the Public Safety Commission of the applicable prefecture. In case these laws or standards are amended or abolished, the Group will analyze industry trends and the application status of other companies, and make new applications for new machines in a structured and strategic fashion. However, if major changes need to be made due to administrative direction or voluntary restriction by the industry, the business results of the Group would be materially impacted. In addition, business results of the Group may be adversely affected by changing preferences in the market, as well as economic trends in Japan that include income levels. Furthermore, there may be a change in manufacturing and sales plans because of shortages of semiconductors and other components used in amusement machines.
Integrated Resort Business
The Group operates OKADA MANILA, an integrated resort facility in the Philippines. The business results of the Group may be affected by changes in the business climate or other items associated with the following risk factors.
Competition risks
In addition to the local competition in the Philippines and the international competition in the Asian region, there is a risk that additional licenses to conduct gaming operations issued by the Philippine government could further intensify competition, or that OKADA MANILA may not be able to gain or maintain market share. Moreover, there is a risk of increasing competition for maintaining a relationship with a quality gaming promoter, resulting in difficulty attracting VIP players who make a big contribution to earnings according to the policies of the governments of various countries.
Information security risks
There is a risk of fines, penalties or other administrative actions as well as the associated damage to OKADA MANILA’s reputation among customers or loss of trust caused by a security violation, leak or other problem involving the personal information of hotel guests, gaming players, special circle members, employees or others. There is also a risk of negative effects on business operations, earnings or the reputation of OKADA MANILA, as well as an effect on its license, caused by leaks or other problems involving information due to a defective or malfunctioning IT or security system or an attack or other unauthorized access.
Risks associated with the Philippine gaming business
In the Integrated Resort Business in the Philippines, the gaming business is operated under a license issued by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). There is a risk that revisions may result in even more demanding terms and requirements for maintaining this license. To continue receiving special tax treatment in the Philippine Economic Zone Authority, OKADA MANILA must continue to comply with terms of the registration contract and any future laws and regulations, which, if not complied with, may create risks. There is also a risk if taxation privileges received by PAGCOR and its licensees are revised by the Congress of the Philippines, OKADA MANILA may be required to pay a separate corporate income tax.
Other
OKADA MANILA may be exposed to economic factors such as a slower economic growth in the Philippines and a decline in the credit rating of OKADA MANILA; political factors such as political instability or terrorism in the Philippines, or a territorial dispute in the South China Sea; and external factors such as typhoons, volcanic activity, and other natural disasters and epidemics.
Other Risks
Litigation
The Group has several pending lawsuits, and their outcomes may have an impact on the business results of the Group. Although the Group makes every effort to eliminate litigation risk, there is always a possibility that third parties may file new cases against the Group, with the rulings in these cases having the potential to affect business results of the Group.
Risk caused by the spread of pandemic
If there is a global increase in the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic or other major pandemic or such pandemic continues for many years, business operations may be temporarily suspended and there may be disruptions in development, manufacturing, sales and other business activities. These problems may affect the business results and financial position of the Group. The safety of customers, employees and business partners is the highest priority of the Group. The Group continues to operate in compliance with the directives of the applicable governments while using staggered working hours, remote work, Internet conferences and other measures for safety during pandemic.
Risks of natural disasters, etc. that may significantly affect the business operations of the head office and major operating companies (bases)
There is a business continuity risk for the operations of major operating companies if the head office and major operating companies (bases) are damaged by earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, typhoons, or other natural disasters, war, terrorism, or social disorder caused by other factors, which paralyzes the head office and administrative functions of the management system.
In the event of a disaster or other damage, we will establish a disaster response headquarters to ensure that important functions are not interrupted as much as possible and, in the event they are interrupted, to restore operations as quickly as possible. However, a disaster may affect the Group’s business results and financial position.
Impairment losses on non-current assets
A decline in profitability or a change in the purpose of use may result in a deterioration of future cash flows, and there may be a need to recognize an impairment loss on non-current assets.
Reversal of deferred tax assets
The recognition of deferred tax assets is based on estimates of future taxable income. There may be a need to recognize deferred income taxes because of a loss carried forward for tax purposes or a decrease in the outlook for the recovery of a tax reduction due to temporary differences between figures on the consolidated financial statements and figures used to determine taxes.
Impairment loss on investment securities
There may be a need for an impairment loss on investment securities due to a decline in the actual value of the securities.
Foreign exchange risks
Exchange rate movements involving Group assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and the foreign currencies of overseas affiliates may have an effect on consolidated net assets due to a change in the foreign currency translation adjustment. Furthermore, due to interest received on foreign currency-denominated bonds held by the Company and to the business activities of affiliates, foreign exchange rate movements may have an effect on earnings on the consolidated income statement due to the recognition of foreign exchange gains or losses.
- Management’s Analyses of Financial Status, Operating Results and Cash Flow
Overview of Operating Results, etc.
Operating Results
During Fiscal Year 2025, the Japanese economy showed signs of a gradual recovery with improvements in both the employment and income environment and demand created by foreign tourists. However, the global economic outlook remains uncertain, reflecting concerns over increased U.S. tariffs, prolonged conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and the slowdown in the Chinese economy.
Against this backdrop, volatility in exchange rates as well as resource and raw material prices impacted corporate earnings. In an environment of heightened uncertainty, the Group must pursue flexible and prudent management decisions. Furthermore, the Group recognizes the importance of addressing environmental and social issues and strengthening corporate governance as part of its efforts to achieve sustainable growth in corporate value, and continues to implement various initiatives in these areas. The Group also implements risk management measures by anticipating the potential impact of natural disasters and unforeseen events on its operations.
In the Amusement Equipments Business, the Pachislot market remained solid, reflecting steady progress in expanding the market share of smart Pachislot and the introduction of new machines featuring Bonus Trigger (BT) functions aimed at diversifying gameplay. In the Pachinko machine segment, the rollout of smart Pachinko featuring Lucky Trigger (LT) 3.0 Plus continues to expand. During Fiscal Year 2025, the Group introduced 8 Pachislot titles and 8 pachinko titles, resulting in total sales volume of 115,000 units.
In the Integrated Resort Business, the Philippine gaming market as a whole faced structural headwind due to a contraction in the VIP market, and the Group was significantly impacted. Additionally, temporary factors such as a decrease in visitor numbers due to inclement weather and political instability compounded the situation, resulting in gaming revenue falling below the previous year's level.
As a result, sales in Fiscal Year 2025 totaled 122,827 million yen, decreased by 2.8% year on year. Operating loss was 3,228 million yen (compared with operating profit of 3,024 million yen in Fiscal Year 2024) partly due to the increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses including the depreciation at OKADA MANILA. Foreign exchange losses were recognized due to appreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar as in Fiscal Year 2025. As a result, ordinary loss was 18,497 million yen (compared with ordinary loss of 5,599 million yen in Fiscal Year 2024). Net loss attributable to owners of parent was 231,425 million yen (compared with net loss attributable to owners of parent of 15,569 million yen in Fiscal Year 2024) mainly due to impairment losses incurred at OKADA MANILA. Business segment performance is as follows. The figures are prior to adjustments for inter-segment sales or transfers.
Amusement Equipments Business
In Fiscal Year 2025, the Amusement Equipments Business posted net sales of 56,708 million yen (increased by 30.4% year on year) and an operating profit of 10,662 million yen (increased by 45.8% year on year).
In the amusement equipments industry, adoption of smart Pachislot machines continued to progress steadily, coming to account for the majority of new machine sales. This high popularity has driven growth across the Pachislot market, and market conditions remain favorable. In the Pachinko machine segment, the rollout of smart Pachinko machines equipped with Lucky Trigger (LT) 3.0 Plus contributed to the accelerated adoption of smart Pachinko machines.
Under these circumstances, UEC released titles such as the latest Madoka Magica series installment, “SMART PACHISLOT Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story,” A PROJECT's first smart Pachislot title, “AREX BRIGHT,” and “SMART PACHISLOT OKIDOKI! DUO ENCORE,” the highest-specifications in the OKIDOKI! series. In the Pachinko sector, sales included “P HANEMONO Family Stadium,” a motif of the popular baseball game from Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., as well as the Group 's first smart Pachinko machines equipped with LT 3.0 Plus: “e SHAMAN KING” and “e SHAMAN KING Dekkeena Ver.”
Integrated Resort Business
The Integrated Resort Business posted net sales(1) of 65,409 million yen (decrease by 20.2% year on year) and an operating loss of 7,114 million yen (operating profit was 2,871 million yen in 2024) in Fiscal Year 2025. Adjusted segment EBITDA(2) was 10,282 million yen (decrease by 47.4% year on year).
The gaming market in Manila’s Entertainment City is facing ongoing correction. Amidst a contraction in the overall market, OKADA MANILA's performance fell below the previous year's level due to factors including the temporary impact of visitor numbers affected by inclement weather and political instability.
Despite facing challenges in the gaming revenue sector, OKADA MANILA demonstrated notable resilience and growth across key business metrics including significant improvements in membership and participation. New sign-ups for REWARD CIRCLE loyalty program surged to 102,000, reflecting a strong increase from 79,000 in the previous year—a growth rate of approximately 29%. Furthermore, the number of unique active members per month showed a modest increase of 0.8%, indicating stable engagement among our customer base.
Our marketing initiatives, particularly through the REWARD CIRCLE loyalty program, focused on fostering customer engagement and loyalty. Key events included a successful four-leg VIP Tournament Series, exclusive concerts during significant cultural festivities, and the transformation of our annual “Christmas Village” into a vibrant “Christmas Carnival,” which engaged an average of 7,400 participants per day.
Moreover, new attractions were introduced, culminating in the launch of a Fountain program featuring “Dynamite” by BTS, further enhancing guest experiences and drawing new visitors to the resort.
In summary, while we navigated challenges, our focus on customer engagement, innovative marketing strategies, and market adaptability has positioned OKADA MANILA for continued growth and success in an evolving landscape.
We remain committed to strengthening our brand and ensuring an exceptional experience for our valued guests.
Net sales are defined as gross revenues minus gaming taxes and jackpots.
Adjusted segment EBITDA = Operating profit/loss + Depreciation + Other adjustments
Other
Other Business posted net sales of 534 million yen (increased by 12.1% year on year), and an operating profit of 113 million yen (operating loss was 198 million yen in Fiscal Year 2024) in Fiscal Year 2025.
In the Media Content Business, we have launched simulator applications for “OKIDOKI! GORGEOUS” and “AREX BRIGHT” on App Store and Google Play. Sales of “AREX BRIGHT” have been strong as it ranks in the top 10 in the paid game category. For “Universal Kingdom,” the subscription-based application, and “Slots Street,” the free-to-play social casino game, we are constantly holding in-game events to acquire new users and enhance user satisfaction.

Analysis of Financial Status, Operating Results and Cash Flow
The following analysis of financial status and operating results regarding the Group are based on the data presented in the consolidated financial statements, in principle. Statements involving the future in this section are based on judgments by the Group as of the submission date of this report.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
The consolidated financial statements are prepared based on generally accepted accounting principles in Japan. Estimation and assumption that were considered necessary to prepare these consolidated financial statements have been conducted in accordance with reasonable principles. However, figures based on these estimates and assumptions may differ from actual results.
Significant estimates and assumptions used to prepare the consolidated financial statements are listed in “Section
Accounting, 1. Consolidated Financial Statements, etc., (1) Consolidated Financial Statements [Notes] Significant Accounting Estimates.”
Significant estimates and assumptions used to prepare the non-consolidated financial statements are listed in “Section 5. Accounting, 2. Non-consolidated Financial Statements, etc., (1) Non-consolidated Financial Statements [Notes] Significant Accounting Estimates.”
Analysis of Financial Status
Total assets at the end of Fiscal Year 2025 amounted to 373,634 million yen, a decrease of 259,161 million yen over the end of Fiscal Year 2024. This decrease was due to reductions in fixed assets resulting from the recognition of impairment losses and a decrease in work in progress due to amortization, despite increases in cash and deposits, notes and accounts receivable.
Total liabilities at the end of Fiscal Year 2025 amounted to 243,947 million yen, a decrease of 19,117 million yen over the end of Fiscal Year 2024. This decrease was due to repayments of long-term borrowings and new borrowings at consolidated subsidiaries, a decrease in deferred tax liabilities, a decrease in long-term deposits received from subsidiaries and associates, and a decrease in lease obligations due to the appreciation of the Japanese yen against the Philippine peso.
Total net assets at the end of Fiscal Year 2025 amounted to 129,687 million yen, a decrease of 240,043 million yen from the end of Fiscal Year 2024. This was the result of a decrease in retained earnings due to net loss attributable to owners of parent.
Analysis of Operating Results Net sales and cost of sales
The Group posted a total net sales of 122,827 million yen (a decrease of 2.8% year on year).
In the Amusement Equipments Business, new products were primarily based on major titles as the use of smart Pachislot machines increases and the speed of the adoption of smart Pachinko machines increases. Overall, Fiscal Year 2025 sales of Pachislot and Pachinko machines increased from 92,150 in Fiscal Year 2024 to 115,000 units and net sales increased by 30.4%.
In the Integrated Resort Business, net sales were down 20.2% in part because of the declining size of the VIP market in the Philippines, a structural challenge, and a brief decline in the number of guests caused by unfavorable weather and political instability.
The total cost of sales was 50,846 million yen (a decrease of 0.7% year on year) (breakdown: an increase of 36.6% in the Amusement Equipments Business, and a decrease of 31.3% in the Integrated Resort Business).
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 75,208 million yen (an increase of 4.3% year on year).
Major changes in these expenses were an increase in depreciation in the Amusement Equipments Business and the Integrated Resort Business.
Non-operating income and expenses
Non-operating income was 5,884 million yen (a decrease of 54.6% year on year). Non-operating expenses were 21,154 million yen (a decrease of 2.0% year on year).
This was mainly because of gain on extinguishment of borrowings of 2,692 million yen, share of profit of entities accounted for using equity method of 2,027 million yen and interest expenses and interest expenses on bonds of 15,719 million yen. In addition, there was a large foreign exchange gain in 2024 but a foreign exchange loss in Fiscal Year 2025 due to depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar.
Extraordinary income and losses and income taxes
Extraordinary income amounted to 6,530 million yen (compared with extraordinary income of 156 million yen in Fiscal Year 2024). The extraordinary losses amounted to 230,304 million yen (compared with extraordinary losses of 1,399 million yen in Fiscal Year 2024). This was mainly because of compensation income of 3,512 million yen, gain on sales of non-current assets of 3,010 million yen and impairment loss of 229,115 million yen.
For these reasons, net loss attributable to owners of parent was 231,425 million yen (compared with net loss attributable to owners of parent of 15,569 million yen in Fiscal Year 2024), and net loss per share was 2,986.48 yen (compared with net loss per share of 200.92 yen in Fiscal Year 2024).
Analysis of Cash Flows
As of the end of Fiscal Year 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled 36,279 million yen, an increase of 12,483 million yen compared to the end of Fiscal Year 2024. The primary reasons for increases/decreases in each cash flow category in Fiscal Year 2025 are as follows:
Operating cash flows for Fiscal Year 2025 was positive 11,053 million yen. This was primarily due to the recording of a net income before income taxes (excluding depreciation, impairment losses, foreign exchange loss and increase in allowance for doubtful accounts) of 10,341 million yen.
The investing cash flows for Fiscal Year 2025 was negative 3,923 million yen. This was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment of 3,371 million yen, proceeds from the sale of shares of subsidiaries of 1,345 million yen, and expenditures for the acquisition of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets of 9,255 million yen.
Financing cash flows for Fiscal Year 2025 was positive 9,250 million yen. This is primarily due to proceeds from long-term borrowings of 71,990 million yen and repayments of long-term borrowings of 62,633 million yen.
The following section explains sources of capital and liquidity for the Group.
The demands for capital mainly consist of construction expenses at OKADA MANILA, expenses for materials and the cost of manufacturing in the Amusement Equipments Business, selling, general and administrative expenses, and other expenses for business operations, and research and development expenditures. Major sources of funds to meet this demand for capital are internal resources, private placement bonds and loans from financial institutions. At the end of 2025, bonds payable, loans payable (excluding lease obligations) and other interest-bearing liabilities totaled 133,417 million yen and cash and cash equivalents totaled 36,279 million yen.

Current Situation and Outlook of Business Strategy
Amusement Equipments Business
In the amusement equipments industry, smart Pachislot machines are steadily gaining market share, backed by its solid utilization. Furthermore, the wider adoption of machines featuring Bonus Trigger (BT) functions aimed at diversifying gameplay has led to the emergence of successful models, contributing to continued growth of the Pachislot market. Although the utilization of Pachinko machines remains somewhat sluggish overall, manufacturers continue to introduce smart Pachinko machines equipped with Lucky Trigger (LT) 3.0 Plus. The continued introduction of LT 3.0 Plus-featured models with enhanced game elements is expected to drive higher smart Pachinko utilization and support market revitalization.
In Fiscal Year 2026, the Group released its first smart Pachislot in the Hanabi series, “SMART PACHISLOT HANABI,” and began sales of “SMART PACHISLOT MILLION GOD: KAMIGAMI NO KISEKI” from the GOD
series, which enjoys overwhelming popularity in the Pachislot industry. Additionally, in the Pachinko machine segment, the Group began sales of the LT-featured model “P ETOTAMA 2 KAMIFESU ETOAMA” and “e Ragnador Ayashiki koutei to shuuen no yashahime.”
UEC will continue striving to develop unique and appealing titles, contribute to the revitalization of the entire amusement equipments industry as a whole, while striving to expand its market share.
Integrated Resort Business
The Philippine gaming market is expected to become increasingly competitive going forward. OKADA MANILA will continue to focus on acquiring mass-market customers and aims to increase its customer base through its loyalty marketing program.
