About

Japanese Slot Guide is an independent English-language reference site about Japanese pachislot. It is privately operated by one individual in Japan and is not operated by a corporation or company. Japanese Slot Guide is the name of the website, not a separate corporate entity. Its purpose is to help readers understand Japanese-market machines, pachislot terminology, beginner guidance, and historical context.

How machine data is handled

Machine specifications and numerical values are collected from information published on the internet and organized for English-language readers. When official manufacturer information or another official first-party announcement is available, that information is prioritized.

The site compiles published figures, adds English explanations, and separately identifies any illustrative calculations. Public reference lists prioritize official first-party and public-authority sources; this preference never overrides attribution, permission, or quotation requirements. If the basis for a claim cannot be established, it should be marked unverified or omitted.

Machine page retention

A machine page may remain available after its normal installation period has ended or when current hall installation can no longer be confirmed. Retaining a reference page does not by itself state that the machine is currently installed or make a legal-status claim. Installation lifecycle and hall availability are managed separately from fixed machine specifications.

Individual machine pages include a last-verified or data-checked date for the underlying research. Confirmed specifications do not become incorrect merely because time has passed.
