Hi-Tech Sega was a chain of arcades in Japan, alongside Club Sega, Hi-Tech Land Sega, Joypolis, Sega Arena, Sega World, and Sega branded game center locations.

Renaming of Hi-Tech Sega locations
On November 4, 2020, Genda acquired 85.1% of Sega's share of the stock in Sega Entertainment. The company was renamed Genda Sega Entertainment.
On January 28, 2022, due to losses sustained during the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Genda purchased the remaining shares and renamed the company Genda GiGO Entertainment.
Beginning on March 9, 2022, and continuing in the following months, all of the Sega-branded arcades in Japan were rebranded as GiGO arcades.
