This was a smart move from slots' developers to captivate anime's fans in order to gamble. I don't like this art style very much, but what I most enjoyed is the interactivity the game proportionates to the gambler, going much ahead than every other slot machines games around. It's the first time I see a touch-screen slots game where you can directly interact with the screen using your fingers. I guess the experience is much more immersive and impressive this way for the player who will definitely maximize the excitment of his gambling journey.
Actually, from the visual appearance of the game itself, it is still very simple, but with other features like the one in the video given by the OP, it clearly makes something different which makes it quite interesting there.
Personally, if this is indeed disseminated to other regions or countries, maybe I will try this because it is indeed a pleasure in itself and there is nothing wrong with trying this once in a while just to feel the sensation and without thinking about the money spent.

When it comes to anime and something related to this then it cant really be that avoided on not to think about being too sexual or finding it a bit over on casual intent.

I think you are referring about Hentai games  Grin.  Sadly they can't be publish in public because of the censorship. 

As just been mentioned that this do really serve out on such certain audiences, some might really get that interested and some wont and this would really vary since we do have different insights
with animated things.
Some might stick into those normal casino slots and some will really be trying out something new that they haven't seen before.

There are also anime slots that have different themes.  Some are fighting-themed anime slots but they are not as interactive as the one given by OP since the slots example at OP is made just recently.

Japanese anime is too broad and they could design different themes depending on their target audience. Hentai would never be an option for sure. I guess it will attract people who have been addicted to anime especially during their younger days. It can add excitement and nostalgia.

Well, The target audience would be adults for most of the time since it's a slot machine. This could also brings memories to adults who likes anime or that became their childhood entertainment. As we saw on the OP, It's a Magi Madoka anime characters and fun fact it is released on 2011 and I'm sure that there are some adult now who watch this anime before. There are some older titles like the famous Evangelion which even west countries knows.

You are right and I just made some brief search and it seems that not only companies are taking aim to the memories and nostalgia of adults with anime series but also using popular videogame fanchises to capitalize within the gambling business. I found this article about Konami (the famous videogame developer) betting harder on turning their famous brands: Metal Gear and Silent Hill into pachinko machines.

https://gamerant.com/konami-pachinko-machine-patent/

These machines seem to be specially popular on Japan, but they want to bring them into the West as well, for more profit, of course.
Some may argue that using nostalgia for classic video games / anime could be a low blow from companies, but I am not sure whether it is true.

I think that slots with Japanese characters or manga will not be famous outside of Japan because these characters are familiar to a very narrow circle of people. In my opinion, to increase interest in slots, you should use more well-known characters or use a neutral theme that suits anyone regardless of where they live, interests, age, etc.

There are millions of anime fans all over the world.  I do not think that the fanbase are too narrow or just a small circle for this theme.

Just look at this statistics and see it yourself how huge the audience of anime is. So I think it is not a waste to have an anime themed slots.



Take note China is not included there since Chinese government puts up strict regulations on anime and I am sure there are lots of Chinese anime lover.

I bet at least a couple hundred millions of young people in China love anime and watch it.



I don't know how accurate Google is in this particular case, but it's pretty accurate normally.

So, I think by number of people watching anime China would take the first place. What's interesting is that from the table you quoted, USA is number one in this regard. That means that the slots from the OP can be even only US oriented and still make good money.

I thought this topic is related to a specific slot game that can be played in crypto casinos but I was wrong. After checking how the slot looks like, it is a slot machine that can be played in real casino. Coming up to the question, my answer is simple. Sure I wont be interested to play because even if I'm interested, I wont be able to play it unless I come across to other country where such slot machine is available.

What do you think about these japanese slot machines?
Do you like them?
Would you gamble on them?
I'm curious, other than the character reacting if the gambler touches the fingertips long enough what else does it do? if you ask me I feel it is unnecessary and to be honest, I am a little disturbed especially when the characters on the screen looks like a child. what I think they should do is incorporate that feature into something more practical.
If you are not familiar with Japanese culture it can be disturbing for sure. They tend to use tiny sweet characters called Kawai around anything. I think main point is them being cute, sweet. But obviously some people relate them to sexual content they call hentai... anyways I think you can easily edit them making it less sexualized by changing face and clothing. Or you can use different cultural objects related to USA or UK etc.

There are different types of anime animation, those are targeted to different kinds of people as well. In the case of Madoka Magica, it supposed to be a series targeted to teens and young adults which liked the show. The fact that adults are a main target for this show explains the existence of these slots machines as well, since adults can gamble and children/teens are not supposed to.

Your comment made me wonder if (in case these animated slot machines end up being a success) it is matter of time for machine designers to make slots with a more explicit anime content (which is also very popular, at least on internet), I had not thought about that possibility before...

Actually there's more anime inspired slots. I saw a vlog on youtube about playing on an anime casino. If you're a anime lover who likes to play slots, The casino on that vlog is a must to experience!

Maybe for mean time it is for Japan only but since this is a new technology for gambling and the demand will surely increase?

I don't know, if the demand increases, it means that innovation involving anime characters is very popular among gamblers especially those who like slot machines, but so far this has not happened. the possibility of innovation involving anime characters will only be in Japan.



then it will be spread for the whole world mate, we knew how big the gambling business all over the world and when you find this profitable and in demand then why not gambling owner will not invest on it?
so it will be for the world in the future.

however, without involving anime characters, slot machine gambling will still be loved all over the world.
so this does not necessarily attract the attention of land or online casino owners, especially for slot game developers themselves such as pragmatic for example.
they won't invest in something that doesn't have a high response from their customers, until the day it does.

If you want my honest opinion, i hate it, because I really hate gambling on slots, never got lucky winning anything on them, just some money back and then lose it all, and for personally, I don't care about anything not related to the outcome I can get gambling, this would probably just get people to gamble on it because they gamble on slots plus people who think is funny to try it, good marketing is all I can say.
If you have never won a slot game, you can choose another gambling game that might give you a chance to win that game.
Playing slots requires luck to win and that luck will not always be on your side.
You can hope that luck is with you, but you can't force your will.
But the slot game provided by @OP is an innovation in the gambling business and maybe it can become a trend in the future.

Yes but the question here now is that , will this be available in other country? or this will be only in japan.


it looks like this will only be in Japan, if you look at the impressions, that this slot machine is played on land not online.
the majority of Japanese people are used to anime, there are more anime fans than regular TV shows, and yes, I think the adoption of anime on slot machines is nothing but to increase the attractiveness of people in Japan itself.
And if any online game adopts, I don't know if it will attract a lot of attention from gamblers outside Japan, I don't know. Anime adoption doesn't change one's luck, I guess it's just a feature that Japanese people prefer.
Maybe for mean time it is for Japan only but since this is a new technology for gambling and the demand will surely increase?

Good morning. Some days ago I was taking a look at my twitter feedback and I found something some of you could find interesting or at leat worthy of some discussion.

It seems there are slot machines of a popular japanese animation called "Madoka Magica", basically girls with magic powers, these slots machines seem to include a tactile screen for the player to interact with the characters in order to gamble.

In these Tweets you can see how two of the characters seem to ask the player to "touch" their fingertips as part of the slot machine functionality. (For some reason, if the player chooses to hold on it more than necessary the character reacts to it)

Oh, can't imagine you are affected by the drawings there as it gives you a disturbing feeling which supposedly should not. But yes, we all have our own preference and if you feel that way, then so be it. Maybe you are not just used to it since obviously, Japan has a different approach to that.
I am not really affected by the drawings but I am disturbed by how they sexualised(the blushing and moaning part when you touched the screen long enough) these child-looking characters(at least that is how I see it).

We can't also tell them to never incorporate such features since, in the first place, they are used to it in their culture. Nothing we can do about it.
true, I am just stating my opinion that a more practical feature would have been better(at least for me)

Better for you to just ignore those for your own satisfaction and comfortability.
I completely agree


Point taken and acceptable.

It's just different people have different preferences and you just shared yours.

Quiet disturbing if that's your case and we should not play on slots with that feeling.

There is touch enabled gloves for using with smart phone, surely works here.  

Surprised there isnt more of this kind of interaction as surely it improves player retention which equates to profits over an empty machine.   Touch sensitive screens is a thing for decades of course but maybe certain 'attract' aspects of a game are restricted under wider legislation.
Yes, nowadays there is this type of technology in which it is possible to use the smartphone with gloves, this makes the screen more sensitive.
I believe, depending in the situation it may even be feasible to implement this type of technology in gambling machines... I don't know, but using some (Japanese) anime images can be a differential, it might even be interesting!
Interesting for those anime lovers out there but not for everyone because not all does love anime and if they do find something like this on the slot machines then its neither they would make some consideration on

those new images or animations or would just simply skip out and stick into those old slot machines that they've been get used to because not all would really be seeing these changes to be that interesting.

So demand of this changes would really vary if the time comes that these things been applied in most casino slot machines then there's nothing we can stop these trend or changes.

If i love slots, I will not worry so much about the kind of slots game I play, I may have a favourite that i love to play regularly, but say my favourite is not available, I will be willing and excited trying out a new slot machines, I think this is the same for other slot lovers.
The fact that all slot games are luck based, so whatever type of animation you are currently  referring to, still it’s a game of chance and luck. If you’re not lucky, you will play badly and eventually lose the game after. Maybe for slot lovers, these will look new to their eyes and enjoy the game, but sadly i’m not a fan of slot games.
