Terms of Use

Last updated / effective date: September 25, 2026

These Terms of Use apply to your use of Japanese Slot Guide. By using the site, you agree to use it lawfully and for informational and educational purposes.

Informational site; no gambling service

Japanese Slot Guide does not operate a pachislot hall, accept wagers, provide online casino accounts, process gambling payments, or facilitate real-money online gambling. Readers are responsible for following the laws, age restrictions, and venue rules that apply where they are located.

Accuracy and no guarantee of outcomes

We aim to publish accurate, well-sourced information, but machine specifications, availability, regulations, manufacturer materials, hall information, and third-party pages can change. Probabilities, setting information, historical results, statistical ranges, expected values, strategy explanations, or hall listings do not guarantee a particular result, profit, payout, machine setting, admission, or machine availability. Recheck current official information when a decision depends on it.

Hall listings and venue information

Hall listings are provided as independent informational references for visitors to Japan. Japanese Slot Guide does not operate, manage, represent, or provide customer support for listed halls unless a specific page clearly states otherwise. Listing a hall does not mean that the hall sponsors, endorses, or is endorsed by Japanese Slot Guide.

Hall names, addresses, opening hours, access information, age or identification requirements, smoking rules, available services, language support, machine inventories, operating status, and other venue details can change without notice. A hall may also apply rules that are stricter than general legal requirements. Check the hall’s current official information before travelling or relying on a listing.

Machine availability at a hall is time-sensitive. A machine shown in a hall listing may be moved, removed, unavailable, reserved, out of service, or otherwise not playable when you arrive. Japanese Slot Guide does not guarantee admission, operating hours, machine availability, prize availability, service quality, or any playing outcome.

Hall listings must not be read as advice that a venue offers better odds, higher settings, greater expected returns, or a guaranteed opportunity to win. Any editorial comparison or ranking, if introduced, will state its methodology and will be kept distinct from paid placements.

Intellectual property

Original explanatory text, original analyses, and creative elements of tables and site organization are protected to the extent recognized by applicable intellectual-property law. We do not claim exclusive copyright in bare facts, numerical specifications, ideas, or material not protected by copyright. Product names, hall names, trademarks, logos, images, character names, and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners. Reference to a trademark, product, or venue does not imply sponsorship or endorsement.

Any copyright notice displayed in the site footer or elsewhere applies to Japanese Slot Guide’s original site content and does not claim ownership of third-party trademarks, product names, hall names, logos, images, characters, or other protected material. A rights notice or attribution does not by itself grant Japanese Slot Guide permission to use third-party material.

You may link to public pages and make normal personal, non-commercial use of the site. You may not falsely claim site content as your own, remove rights notices from copied material, reproduce substantial portions of the site as a competing database, bypass technical access controls, or use automated activity in a way that materially disrupts the service or ignores applicable access restrictions.

These restrictions do not limit quotation, private use, accessibility uses, or any other use permitted by applicable law. Permission to use our original content does not include permission to reuse third-party material. Check the rights and terms applying to each item.

Third-party links and services

Links to manufacturers, halls, public authorities, map or navigation providers, media sources, retailers, or other third parties are provided for reference or convenience. Japanese Slot Guide does not control their availability, accuracy, products, services, terms, security, or privacy practices.

Advertising and affiliate relationships

Advertising, sponsorship, affiliate relationships, complimentary benefits, or paid placements will be disclosed where relevant and will not determine factual machine or hall information or whether an evidence-based correction is accepted. Sponsored hall placements will be identified with the relevant listing rather than relying only on a general disclosure page. See Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure.

Rights and correction requests

If you believe material on the site infringes copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or another right, follow the procedure on Copyright, Trademarks & Rights Requests. Evidence-based factual corrections, including hall listing corrections, can be submitted through the Contact page.

Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The site is provided on an “as available” basis. We do not promise uninterrupted access, error-free information, or any playing result. Content is general information and is not individualized legal, financial, travel, or gambling advice. Any liability is determined under applicable law. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for our intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or any liability or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without preventing a user from relying on mandatory consumer or data-protection rights that apply to them under another law. Disputes should first be raised through the Contact page so that a reasonable resolution can be attempted.

Changes and severability

These terms may be revised as the site changes. If one provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. Changes apply prospectively from the stated effective date, subject to applicable law. Material changes will be announced on the site with reasonable advance notice where required. Changes do not retroactively remove accrued rights, and we will seek consent where the law requires it.
