Cashless Play with the "Yokopass" LINE Mini App
LINE users can take advantage of the "Yokopass" mini app, which handles game payments and point management entirely from a smartphone — no coin exchange required.
Three Key Features
1. Two Payment Modes
- Charge (Prepaid) Mode: Pre-load "value" (house money) to receive bonus value and points in the most cost-effective mode. Supports both cash and electronic payments; cash can be processed at an in-store payment terminal.
- Pay-per-Play Mode: Pay with services like PayPay for each individual play session without pre-loading. Points are earned with both modes — 1 point per ¥100 spent.
2. Smart Play via QR Code
Scan the QR code on a machine using the LINE mini app reader, select the number of plays, and the game begins. Charges are automatically deducted from the pre-loaded balance or processed per play.
3. Point Redemption on Your Smartphone
Accumulated points can be exchanged for in-store gifts by scanning a QR code linked to the desired item and the attending staff member. Point balances, expiry dates, and history are all accessible on the smartphone at any time.
