Aspects of the ever-decreasing pachinko parlor “closure rush” A site in a good location is very popular in the redevelopment in front of the station

Due to the corona crisis, office workers are staying away from the station-front hall. The media has been flooded with pessimistic reports about the future of pachinko. On the other hand, pachinko parlors are often located in prime locations in downtown areas, and are being redeveloped into new commercial facilities one after another. ◇ ◇ ◇ 〈We regret to inform you that our store will be closed on Monday, October 10th.〉 closed on. Also in October, major chain stores such as D’Station Takasaki store and Maruhan Onahama store will be closed one after another. In the case of major companies, there is a strong implication of improving management efficiency through “selection and concentration,” but in any case, it is a big change from the previous offensive to open new stores. According to the National Police Agency’s Security Division, the number of pachinko and pachislot parlors nationwide stood at 8,458 as of the end of December last year, down 577 from the previous year. After peaking at 18,224 stores in 1995, the number of stores has declined for 26 consecutive years, less than half of the peak. ■ The Chosun Ilbo also reports on the crisis The Chosun Ilbo also published an article on September 18, titled “The decline of pachinko, where Koreans in Japan have made a living. People who were discriminated against and couldn’t find work made a living in the pachinko industry, but as the bubble economy burst, the number of people visiting pachinko parlors began to decline, and in 2018 the gambling aspect of pachinko significantly decreased. It is analyzed that the momentum of the decline has become more and more rapid. The reaction from some anti-Korea class is likely to be harsh, but such historical facts must be taken into account. According to Gensho Moriyama of Teikoku Databank’s Information Management Department, “Sales increase rate (three-year average), which indicates the growth potential of the industry, is 1.46% for all industries. The decline is even more pronounced, deteriorating by 9.03 points from -1.2% in the previous year to -10.23%. The pachinko/pachislot market scale, total ball rental fee, will increase from 34.9 trillion yen in 2005 to 14.9 trillion yen in 2020. It fell to 6 trillion yen, which is also less than half of the peak. While other industries are also struggling due to the corona crisis, the pachinko and pachislot industry is in an even tougher situation. As is the case this year, the spread of coronavirus infections in January and August, which is a big sales season for pachinko parlors, is also a major factor.
