Dynam Japan Holdings Co., Ltd. reported revenue of ¥109.82 billion ($1.00 billion) for the nine months ending December 31, 2018, a 4.6% decline from the corresponding period in 2017.

In a filing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the firm attributed the fall in revenue to a continuing “severe business environment,” under which “the Group has made efforts to grow and develop with local communities and to improve the machine utilization through various kinds of business measures under the important policies of setting up our halls from the customers’ viewpoint and operating each of our halls with a focus on customers’ needs.”

High playing cost machine Pachinko halls, totaling 180, had a combined revenue of ¥54.92 billion ($502.41 million), 6.8% less than April to December of 2017.

Low playing cost halls, numbering 270, brought in ¥54.90 billion ($502.23 million).
