PPP Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Jinzen Ito) has launched its cashless payment service for pachinko halls, "PPPAY (pronounced P-P-Pay)," on June 18, 2026, at the "Access Sannomiya Store," a pachinko hall located in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture. A new era of cashless payments is coming to the pachinko industry. The introduction at Access Sannomiya Store marks the first step towards realizing a cashless environment in the pachinko industry. We aim to contribute to the construction of a sustainable gaming environment while enhancing user convenience and ensuring safety. Cashless payments for the pachinko industry— While cashless payments have become commonplace in society as a whole, the pachinko industry remains left behind. Today's people do not carry wallets, do not carry cash, and smartphones are absolutely essential. Cashless is no longer a matter of "convenient if available," but "unselected if not available." PPPAY is a smartphone app-based cashless payment service developed for pachinko halls. It supports Visa and Mastercard® branded debit and prepaid cards. By simply pre-registering your card on the app, you can complete smooth payments from dedicated terminals within the hall. You can rent balls and medals on the spot even if you visit without cash. Safety that can only be achieved with an app. Users can continue to use the service with peace of mind, as they can check identity verification functions and usage history at any time. Cashless adoption is not just about improving convenience; it also leads to the realization of a transparent gaming environment. For stores, it opens the door to business transformation, including reduced cash management costs, acquisition of new customer segments, and improvement of service quality. [Commitment to Safety] PPPAY implements multi-layered security measures concurrently with the promotion of cashless payments. eKYC (Identity Verification) — Reliably prevents underage use. 3D Secure — Bl
