Osaka Prefecture named and shamed three more pachinko parlor gambling outlets that were defying coronavirus lockdown requests on Monday after three out of six locations it identified on Friday subsequently closed.
Hyogo Prefecture also released on Monday the names of six pachinko parlors that have not closed even after being requested to do so.
"A lot of places have closed down after we named the six last week. We are now conducting a survey of pachinko parlors and will announce the results accordingly," a spokesman for Osaka Prefecture said earlier in the day.
