KONAMI will introduce its PASELI digital cash service to game arcades^*1 across the country this spring. The service will initially be available for QUIZ MAGIC ACADEMY 7 as well as MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB GARYOTENSEI and then gradually phased in to include more game machines as time goes on.

Arcades have always been strictly coin-op businesses where customers must constantly feed money into a machine in order to keep playing. KONAMI developed its PASELI e-money service with an eye to overcoming the limits that this cash-based system imposes on both arcade operators and players alike. Now ready for full-scale implementation, this innovative service that enhances playability as well as pricing is sure to breathe new life into the arcade industry.

Pay Smart Enjoy Life

Taking the arcade experience to new heights, PASELI enables arcade operators to offer the kind of gameplay and price structures that go far beyond the limits of ordinary coin-op systems. Unlike traditional systems, nothing is set in stone with PASELI, operators can set flexible rates based on playing time, etc. to make it easier and more enjoyable for customers than ever before.

Players can use PASELI to buy items as they're playing a game as well as customize characters to make the whole arcade experience more fun than ever. Gamers can also use PASELI to participate in special stages or tournaments where they can explore new and exciting facets of various games.

PASELI can be implemented at any game arcade where KONAMI's e-AMUSEMENT^*2 system is installed without any additional capital investment.

KONAMI is continually working to develop its e-AMUSEMENT and PASELI services as engines that will drive the amusement industry forward and open new windows of opportunity for game arcades everywhere.

In addition, QUIZ MAGIC ACADEMY 7 and MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB GARYOTENSEI will be on display at the AOU 2010 Amusement Expo.
