Kyoraku Sangyo announces Uma Musume Pretty Derby pachislo machine

Kyoraku Sangyo has announced a new pachislo machine based on the Cygames IP ‘Uma Musume Pretty Derby’, scheduled for release in Japanese halls starting in 2027. The announcement took place at a press event held at Bellesalle Shibuya First.

The new machine features a specialized ‘training-type AT’ (Assist Time) system that mimics the gameplay of the original franchise. Players can develop character statistics such as speed, stamina, power, guts, and intelligence to influence gameplay outcomes, including race win rates and bonus triggers. The hardware is equipped with a 640Mbit ROM capacity and a high-performance graphics engine to deliver high-definition racing scenes and winning live performances.

Kyoraku Sangyo CEO Hiroshi Ogawa noted that this marks the company’s first major exhibition in approximately ten years. Additionally, the company revealed that a pachinko version of the ‘Uma Musume’ IP is currently under development, with a target release around spring 2027.
