Here is the context:
取扱いの容易性から、ボルト・ねじ類を外さなくても、取外し・取付けできるようにだるま穴とする。 |

the only issue with calling it a "slotted hole" is that there's no distinction between a "slot" and a "slotted hole", although 'we' knew what they were, I don't know if that's true outside of where I worked (OEM + supplier).
If this is a description on a spec drawing, "slotted hole" with an arrow pointing to the actual hole would do the trick.
If there's no graphics, well, I don't know...
Maybe you can search through GD&T or maybe a CAD interface`s template, etc. to find perhaps more commonly used term (if there is one).

Found another example here - http://support.radioshack.com/manuals/ome49-1000.pdf - again, search for `slotted hole`
