Net income dropped from EUR 406 million to EUR 317 million compared to the same nine months in the year before. Sales in the period dropped almost four per cent to EUR 2.6 billion.

The company has not altered its full financial year net profit forecast, which remains at EUR 385.2 million with anticipated group sales of EUR 3.7 billion.

The drop was blamed of poor sales of its pachinko arcade machines – a popular Japanese game involving steel balls dropping down a board of metal pegs.
