Major Japanese pachinko game operator Dynam Japan Holdings saw revenues fall in the second quarter of 2017.
Revenue was ¥197m (£1.36m), a 4.7 per cent drop compared with the ¥206m (£1.42m) of the comparable period. The company attributed the drop to “a harsh environment”.
The company added that “we attract customers by creating easily accessible and secured environments through an increase in low playing-cost halls and a staged reduction of the percentage of gambling game machines being installed.
“Under such an environment, the group adopted a key policy of prioritizing hall creation from the customers’ viewpoint and promoting sales focused on customers at each hall, refurbished halls and implemented various experimental sales policies, all as an initiative for growing and developing together with the local community.”
Dynam operates 444 halls, of which “high cost” halls numbered 181.
