Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. wishes to announce its assent to the 'Operating Guidelines for Random Item Distribution in Network Games' (below, 'the guidelines') announced by the Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (CESA) on April 27. Relevant KONAMI titles will be adapted to meet the guidelines during the time period specified by CESA.

The guidelines have been set down with the intention of providing a safer and more reassuring environment for customers who play internet-distributed smartphone games.

KONAMI places the utmost importance in ensuring that the details of paid content and items obtainable in our smartphone game titles are transparent and easy to understand. To further this goal, we will work on implementing even clearer displays of core elements such as the probabilities of earning each kind of item in paid 'gacha' prize draws.

KONAMI will continue to actively listen to the opinions and requests of customers and persons within and without the digital entertainment industry, working with industry organizations to continually improve the services we provide.
