2025年12月末時点の、全国のパチンコホールの店舗数（許可数）は6,464店で前年12月末時点より242店（3.6％）減少した。警察庁が4月23日に資料を公表した。
遊技機設置台数（※）は3,234,218台で、1年間に9万1,534台（2.8％）減少。パチスロ機は6,338台増加したが、パチンコ機は9万7,872台減少した。※パチンコ機とパチスロ機の合計、スマートボール等を除外して計算。
店舗数の推移を規模別に見ると、前述の通り1年間に242店舗減少しているが、「1001台以上」規模の店舗は23店舗増え、「501台～1,000台」規模の店舗は31店舗増えた。つまり、小規模な店舗が減少している。特に「100台以下」の店舗はほぼ半減（47.3％）し135店舗になった。つまり、業界では「小型店の淘汰」による店舗数減少と、店舗の大型化、が進行しているといえる。
コロナ禍直前の2019年12月末と比較すると、店舗数は32.9％減り、遊技機総台数は22.9％減った。
As of the end of December 2025, the total number of licensed pachinko parlors in Japan stood at 6,464, marking a decrease of 242 locations (3.6%) compared to the end of the previous year. This data was officially released by the National Police Agency (NPA) on April 23.
The total number of installed gaming machines reached 3,234,218, a year-on-year decline of 91,534 units (2.8%). While the number of pachislot machines saw a slight increase of 6,338 units, this was offset by a significant drop in pachinko machines, which decreased by 97,872 units. (Note: Total figures include both pachinko and pachislot machines, excluding smart ball and other minor categories).
An analysis of parlor counts by scale reveals a clear trend toward large-scale operations. Despite the overall loss of 242 parlors, the number of “Mega-parlors” with over 1,001 machines increased by 23, and mid-to-large-scale parlors (501–1,000 machines) grew by 31. Conversely, smaller establishments are rapidly disappearing. In particular, small-scale parlors with 100 machines or fewer nearly halved (a 47.3% decrease), falling to just 135 locations. These figures illustrate that the industry is undergoing a significant transition: a decrease in total parlor counts driven by the market shakeout of small-scale outlets, alongside a shift toward larger, consolidated venues.
When compared to December 2019, just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the total number of parlors has plummeted by 32.9%, and the total number of gaming machines has shrunk by 22.9%.
