Uma Musume is getting a KYORAKU pachislot machine in Japan in 2027. Explore the announced characters, training, inheritance and live performances in English.
Uma Musume Pachislot: 2027 Release and Guide for Fans
Last checked: October 16, 2026. KYORAKU opened the official teaser site on October 14. This is a preview for fans of Umamusume: Pretty Derby, also commonly written as Uma Musume. The machine has been announced; that does not mean it is already available to play.
Is Uma Musume really getting a pachislot machine?
Yes. KYORAKU’s official Japanese title is ぱちスロ ウマ娘 プリティーダービー. A nationwide Japanese hall rollout is planned for 2027. No exact manufacturer-confirmed opening day was established in the material checked for this article, so a specific month or day should not be treated as settled.
| Question | Current answer |
|---|---|
| Who makes it? | KYORAKU / 京楽産業． |
| What is the format? | Smart Pachislot, a Japanese reel-and-stop-button machine. |
| When is it coming? | 2027 is the announced year; an exact official date has not been verified here. |
| What is its central idea? | Train an Umamusume, enter races, enjoy victory lives and carry development forward through inheritance. |
| Can I play it now? | The announcement is for a future rollout, not confirmation of regular public hall installation today. |

Special Week, Tokai Teio, Oguri Cap and Orfevre
The three announced cabinet panels feature Special Week (スペシャルウィーク), Tokai Teio (トウカイテイオー) and Oguri Cap (オグリキャップ). Those names are useful visual identifiers when looking at launch material.
A cabinet panel is the physical artwork on the machine. Three panel designs are not, by themselves, evidence of three different sets of payout rules, nor are they a complete character roster.
Orfevre (オルフェーヴル) also has a featured role in a later, high-stat phase. This is a progression feature rather than a promise that a player can immediately start with her or reach that sequence in every session. A complete selectable roster and all appearance conditions are not established by this preview.
How does Uma Musume’s training become pachislot?
The announced system uses the familiar five abilities: Speed, Stamina, Power, Guts and Wit (スピード・スタミナ・パワー・根性・賢さ). Development affects the race-related play, and inheritance carries development into a later run.
For a fan, the connection is the shape of the experience: preparation has a purpose, the race tests the developed character, and a victory leads into a live performance. Instead of translating every pachislot term first, follow the question: what am I developing, and how does it help in the next race?
- Training: build the character’s abilities.
- Race: the developed abilities influence the race phase.
- Victory live: winning leads into a performance and reward sequence.
- Inheritance: development can carry forward under the machine’s rules.
This is an outline of the announced concept, not a complete operating procedure. Inheritance does not establish permanent account progress, a link to your mobile-game save, or the right to leave a developed machine reserved. Those are separate questions.
The main assisted-play system is called AT (Assist Time). In pachislot, AT provides play instructions such as reel-stop order. Knowing how to train in the original game does not replace following the cabinet’s instructions, and the theme does not guarantee a winning result.
Winning lives, 19 songs and newly recorded material
The launch presentation announced 19 included songs, alongside race and live-performance sequences. Presentation coverage also reports newly recorded material for this machine, including comments from Gold Ship’s voice actor, Hitomi Ueda.
That gives music-focused fans something concrete to follow beyond the reels: which performances are shown, who sings, and what is different from the game version. However, this article does not establish a complete song list, every singer combination or the conditions for each live. A new recording is not automatically a newly composed song.
Use the official teaser to sample the look and sound before deciding whether the machine interests you. Watching official footage is also a way to follow this adaptation without paying to play.
Is this a mobile game, arcade game or pachinko?
It is Smart Pachislot, often shortened to sumaslo in Japan. Pachislot uses reels, a start lever and individual stop buttons. Smart models manage playing medals electronically.
Someone searching for “Uma Musume slot machine” may imagine a casino slot or an arcade racing game. The announced product is a Japanese hall machine: its characters and training presentation are familiar, while payment, controls and play rules follow pachislot conventions. It is not an announced expansion for the mobile or PC game.
It is also distinct from ball-based pachinko. Reports about a separate pachinko project should not be used as this pachislot machine’s release calendar or specification sheet. See pachinko versus pachislot for the visual and practical differences.
What should fans avoid assuming before release?
The checked material supports the announcement and the features above. It does not provide a complete, verified English play manual. These are the practical gaps to resolve before a visit:
- Availability: the exact official rollout day and which individual halls will install it.
- Language and access: an English cabinet interface, an overseas rollout or a connection to the original game’s account has not been verified.
- Costs and protection: a verified ceiling, the result it awards, the play-cost basis and a yen budget estimate have not been established here.
- Controls: exact reel targets, whether color-based symbol recognition is required, and all penalty-related instructions need a machine-specific guide.
- Content: the full cast, song list and conditions for seeing particular scenes or performances remain outside this article’s verified scope.
Missing information does not mean a feature is absent. In particular, no verified ceiling is different from a confirmed “no ceiling.” There is no justified maximum spending figure in this preview.
What should a first-time pachislot player learn?
If you are planning a Japan visit around Uma Musume, confirm the rollout and the particular hall’s installation closer to your visit. An announcement or exhibition cabinet does not guarantee that a nearby hall has the machine.
Before paying to play, read How to Play Pachislot in Japan for the payment flow, electronic credits, start lever and stop buttons. Use the pachislot cost guide to understand lending rates and unused cash. Those general guides cannot substitute for this machine’s final instructions.
Hall play is for adults aged 18 and over; follow the venue’s admission rules. Decide your time and spending limit in advance. A favorite character or an unseen live is not a reason to keep paying beyond it. The responsible-play guide explains further precautions.
Uma Musume pachislot: fan questions
Can I play the Uma Musume pachislot machine in Japan now?
The announced rollout year is 2027. As checked on October 16, 2026, the announcement does not establish regular public hall availability.
Does my favorite cabinet panel decide which character I can play?
The three panels identify physical cabinet designs. This preview does not establish a panel-specific character restriction or different odds, so do not infer either from the artwork.
Will my game account or trained characters transfer?
No account-transfer feature was verified. “Inheritance” here describes the pachislot machine’s own progression system; it should not be read as confirmation of cross-save.
Can I see every live by paying a fixed amount?
No fixed-price route to every scene or song was verified. Some presentation depends on progression. Treat hall play as paid entertainment with uncertain outcomes, not a ticket to a particular performance.
Where should I check for updates?
Start with the official teaser and manufacturer announcement below. This guide is for understanding the adaptation; a full machine guide needs verified controls, probabilities and protection rules.
