Governor of Saitama Prefecture "Considering disclosure of pachinko parlor names that do not respond to leave requests" April 24, 20:24
Saitama Prefecture did not respond to the request for closure, and it was determined that there were pachinko parlors that were still operating, and we asked the union affiliated with the pachinko parlors in the prefecture in writing to cooperate with the suspension of store use.
According to Saitama Prefecture, about 450 pachinko parlors in the prefecture are members of the Saitama Prefectural Gaming Cooperative Association, which requested a written cooperation on the 22nd regarding the suspension of use of each store.
Governor Ono of Saitama Prefecture said, "We also want to take an investigation and take measures based on the announcement if necessary," and in the future, if we do not respond to the request, the Special Measures Law for New Coronavirus Measures Clarified the idea to consider publishing store names based on Article 45.
By the 23rd, there were more than 500 reports that there was a pachinko parlor that continued to operate even if the call center in the prefecture did not respond to requests for holidays.
