Japanese Animation Slot Machines

[acroman08]

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

Maybe it is just my imagination, but I heard that fingerprints could know many things about us.
But imagine if that data transfers on our fingerprints or if our fingerprints are being used to access something before we can use it.
Nowadays, fingerprints are used to find evidence of a crime.

You are over-imagining due to the fact we don't wear gloves when in public spaces even when accessing ATMs, the above screen display is impossible to record/detect fingerprints because that animation can work too if you touch in other ways, I don't see any specific difference from the game other slots are just additional animated screens to get excited about playing slots.

Yes, fingerprinting is widely used in forensics. 

Fingerprints identify criminals.  Therefore, there is a potential risk that malefactors from among the workers who maintain anime slot machines will resell your fingerprints to real criminals.  This threatens with serious troubles (up to imprisonment). 

Fingerprints are also used to unlock smartphones. 

Leakage of sensitive personal information can lead to very adverse consequences.

The idea of getting involve physically with the slot machine is an interesting idea

We should built slots where you can slap horse's ass, or something symilar. Western answer to japanese slots 

But yeah, about Vegas: I also can't find this case. Maybe it was experimental machine or something like that.

Anime is a big industry, having this on slot machines can also attract gamblers, I hope to experience one and probably will start searching for this machine in the casinos here locally.

I doubt that you find anything similar. Japan and Asia in general is another world. Eventually they have such slots and vending machines with used women panties

...Are these slot machines powered by powerful AI or is it some cheap gimmick? If the AI is restricted due to the complexity of its code, then that would be a deal breaker for me.

Or actually, forget anime characters, lets make slot machines with deep-fakes of celebrities. I would love OJ Simpson cheering me on as I gamble.
 

I think these machines are not powered by any AI whatsoever, but pre-set animated scenes. nonetheless, thanks the advance of technology these slot machines could easily be designed to receive updates in order to include new animations and settings so they will not become too repetitive. I don't think people would completely agree on implementing an Artifical intelligence on a gambling machines because moral implications.

Deepfakes would be ok, but obviously they would require the permission from the celebrities/people to be deepfaked.

Obviously any kind of deepfake of a celebrities (or actually, anyone's) face would require the permission of mentioned the person. Not doing so would be unethical and in some countries (like the country that I live in), it would also be against the law.

After taking a look at the japanese slot machines, its obvious that there is no AI and its a simple touch activated script and animation, but what I am saying is that it would be way better to use AI. It would really liven up the gambling experience.

I think it might even work to the advantage of the gambling casino which owns such slot machines.

Why wear gloves? If you are overprotected and you are scared to catch any viruses then yes but only few of the people do that during the peak of the pandemic. Maybe he is just paranoid but what he was saying is possible because we can also access our phone and our wallets by using a finger print but I don't think a legit and trusted company will do something fishy so no need to be paranoid as long as we choose them over those unpopular and known to have a bad record.

These new type of slots are only touch screen and they didn't say that you will be needing your fingerprint at all times so yes, it's possible to interact with them in other ways.

I have the same thought, somehow the slots animation makes the player looks like a pervert harassing a child-like-looking anime character.  It isn't a funny scenario.

Well, there is nothing wrong in stating what we think about the slots with a child-like animated character.  Actually, I also think the same.  Besides, this thread is created for that kind of reaction.  Since it was posted from our point of view and comments regarding the Japanese Animation Slot Machines.

[gagux123]

You are right, but how do you make sure that the fingerprint on the monitor screen can be saved while everyone else in the place has put their finger on the same screen position. Even though your opinion is relevant for the same opinion but the game animation is for entertainment to move the animation on the monitor screen.

So... this is a worrying issue, but I don't know, maybe the use of specific gloves to activate the buttons/screens could be a way of not leaving your fingerprints in these places, or also the use of resistive screens to facilitate the use of gloves when it will be necessary to use interaction with the screen. Or also cleaning the machines more frequently... I don't know, maybe I could have said something silly, but these could be some ways to make it difficult for some gambling users to collect fingerprints.

They could integrate some AI so the character on the slot machine could interact with the player according to the money they have won/loss or better they are having a bad or good streak. Perhaps, they could even play different kinds of music according to that as well, for example, an exciting/epic melody if they player is winning money (that may encourage them to continue playing).

Of course, all this would require a significant amount to money as investment and I am not sure if big casinos would get out their comfort zone in order to try something like this, considering they are already making money with classic slot machines.

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.

[Viscore]

Would you gamble on them?

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.

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.

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.

[Rabi3]

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)

What do you think about these japanese slot machines?
Do you like them?
Would you gamble on them?

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.

[Reatim]

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?
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.

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.

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.

[rahmad2nd]

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.

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...

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.

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!
