Environment Upgrades at Pachinko Parlor in
Hitachi
Upgrades Include the Introduction of a Clean Air

Satisfaction and Reduce
Costs
HITACHI, Japan
—
April 30,
2013
— Kinbasha Gaming
International, Inc. (OTCQX: KNBA), owner
and operator of retail pachinko gaming centers nationally in
Japan, today
announced that it has implemented a series of significant gaming
environment upgrades
at one of its pachinko parlors in Hitachi.
Several
key areas of the Hitachi parlor have been targeted to improve the
overall gaming
environment, and spur same-store revenue growth.
One upgrade is the introduction of a new smart
card system, which eliminates the need to physically move metal
balls from machine
to machine, and dramatically reduces labor costs in the
parlor.
As an example, at one of Kinbasha’s pachinko parlors
in Toride, Ibaraki, where this system has already been introduced,
total expenditures
on part-time workers decreased by 25%-30%.
“We
are pleased to introduce our new parlor upgrades in Hitachi,
including our
latest smart card system,” said Masatoshi Takahama, Chief Executive
Officer of
Kinbasha. “Not only does the card system significantly improve
customer
satisfaction, it also reduces our labor costs throughout the
year.
It’s a perfect example of a win-win situation
for both Kinbasha and our loyal patrons.”
As
part of its Hitachi parlor upgrades, Kinbasha also announced the
roll-out of
the company’s latest clean air generator to remove unwanted dust
and smoke within
designated smoking areas. In addition, pachinko machines are now
separated by privacy
panels that have been installed to provide a more secluded
environment for each
player to focus on the game.
These
improvements are part of Kinbasha’s efforts to create a comfortable
gaming
environment and appeal to as many demographics as
possible.
“Kinbasha
is intently focused on the satisfaction of our customers,”
continued Mr.
Takahama. “Although this equipment was first introduced at our
largest parlors,
as we continue to implement our upgrade initiatives these new
systems are
expected to be rolled-out at Kinbasha’s other locations as
well.”
