Pachinko is a pinball gambling game originating in Japan. Players load a small steel ball into a cavity, which is launched up through a metal track and down into a field of brass pins that may be caught by numerous cups. The goal of the game is to capture as many balls as possible. Pachinko machines are usually facilitated in parlours where you can exchange your winnings for prizes, rather than directly awarding cash.

Although Parlors deny cash rewards and restrict balls to the premises, prizes can be sold to a vender in close proximity for money (which may or may not be affiliated with parlours), and are purchased in return by parlours, with a commission to profit from without legally being considered gambling. This strategy provides a popular business model as Pachinko is one of the few sources of legal gambling in Japan, another factor into its extreme popularity, with a market size of 14.6 trillion Yen and a substantial portion of Japan’s leisure industry.

If we look at an average Pachinko machine, you can observe distinct traits designed to addict players. Machine exteriors are visually appealing with a position at comfortable eye level with bright, elaborate sequences of colours and lights to draw you in.

In modern day, digital screens are utilised to not only communicate different play modes but also graphics or animations, that introduce elements of excitement to capture your attention in play sessions. Machines also rely heavily on popular anime media franchises, so they can entice fans and often include interactive content of franchises that you can only proceed in with further play, which may persuade players to invest more time and money.

Pachinko parlours are constructed of aisles of machines designed to surround you in an environment which distracts you from leaving. They are also located in neighbourhoods or busy areas, such as train stations or shopping districts, to attract people passing by. The reason why Pachinko parlours operate with such a large presence is because it mostly exists without a stigma that could deter the public from participating. It is treated more leniently as leisure, rather than the more critical view of casinos in the west, which
