Pachinko

[BossVic]

Has anybody tried those Pachinko machines? I saw a long row of these when I was in Tokyo so I got curious about them.

I think there's a Pachinko section in Ceasar's Palace in Las Vegas but I'm not to sure. I've seen those machines too and they are very popular in Japan!

I've heard of these before but I've never seen or heard of a casino that has pachinko machine. but then again I live in a small town. I hear these are quite a hit in Japan. :cool:

pachinko is so famous in japan. to some japanese this machine is an effective way of taking relaxation after work (most of japanese are workaholic) so they need time to relax and pachinko is one way to treat their self.

i've heard of panchinko machines many times but i don't think it's available here in our place so i didn't had any chance of seeing it personally. how does it look like anyway?

[alicia]

if i am not mistaken, panchinko looks like slot machines. this is a game wherein you fire small metal balls into a playfield and bounce through rows of pins in hopes they will enter the targets and rewards you with more balls.

[MardyShawn]

that's true. its look like a slot machine and a combination of pinball. and as what groban said its a famous machine in japan. but i think its all over US now.

Pachinko is like the Japanese equivalent of our slot machines. These are really huge in Japan!

I'm really curious about this too. If you guys know of a pachinko parlor in Vegas or Atlantic city, then post it here. I wanna try this!

its actually playing pinball anyway. and you don't need coins or chips to activate this. as long as you got metal balls then your good to go. they will give you a bucket of metal balls and its all up to you on how you are going to use it.

[cyrilM]

it's definitely a pinball, it's japan's version of slot machines. i have tried playing it ones and it's so addictive but very entertaining. if you"ll have the chance, try it to believe.

in japan they use a coin with a hole in a middle for luck. they inserted it in a circle button and that button control how strong the metal balls goes inside the machine. the stronger it goes the chances is low. so its better to do it slowly but surely.
