About Aruze
Aruze traces back to Kazuo Okada, who founded Universal Lease in Japan in 1969, the company later known as Aruze Corp. and then Universal Entertainment. In 1983 he set up Universal Distributing of Nevada, which the state licensed the next year to build, distribute and route slot machines. The Nevada company took the Aruze Gaming America name in 2005 and remained Okada's private business, a sister to Universal rather than a subsidiary.
A global factory opened in Manila in 2009 and Aruze Gaming Macau followed in 2011. Besides slots, Aruze built electronic table games such as Roll to Win Craps, and in 2018 its Muso cabinets arrived with what it billed as the first wireless phone charger on a slot. The logo shows an Archaeopteryx, chosen as the first bird to take flight.
Aruze Gaming America filed for Chapter 11 in February 2023. At the court-supervised auction that June the assets were split between Interblock, Empire Technological Group and the lenders; Empire took the slot business and renamed itself Aruze Gaming Global, still based in Las Vegas.
