Though no I still haven't gotten glass or finished the electronics. I also prever the old mechanical ones. No stupid video screens, no motorized launcher, that's all BS. Just a mechanical lever and maybe some flashing lights to go along with the bell if you get a jackpot.
I entertained a screaming two year old with the pachinko machine last night. Her father, my brother, is out of the country right now and she wanted him to feed her. I sat her down in front of the machine screaming and plugged a few balls into it and she stopped crying. Then she wanted to shoot more balls, thirty minutes later she wanted to play.
Pachinko: Entertaining 2 year olds just as well as 62 year olds.

Aren't most Pachinko parlors used to white out money by mafias? I heard something about it
Looking for a cool game? Find it in my blog! Latest post: Often, games must be difficult http://eriktwice.com/
I've won a lot from Pachinko, so I do enjoy it. I've just been lucky since the game requires no skill other than to know which machines will pay out and which won't. I have friends who have unhealthy addictions to pachinko. Keep it fun, don't get addicted. You'll lose your house.

I wouldn't say that. I won 500,000 yen in a 2 hour span. I don't have a family to support, just hobbies and habits.

Surprisingly enough, Korean mafia...not Japanese mafia.

I won 10000 or so once in a couple hours (I have more experience on Mega Drive pachinko...), and a few hundred bucks in slot machines on this side of the Pacific... but for all the ding-dongs who can't control themselves, I kind of think it would be best of there wasn't at least one giant pachinko parlor next to every second train station and at the end of every town on the highways. I'm aware that the cause of the problem is not actually pachinko, but I'm happy to rant about the effects that come of it! Ironic how much money can be won at pachinko in a country where gambling is illegal.

Well, what they do with their money and their lives in their business, so I don't care about the guy next to me blowing his daughter's college fund on Evangelion pachinko. The only time I get upset is when parents leave their kids in the car on a summer day while they play Pachinko. YOu lived in Japan, so you know it happened a lot. The parents would come back to find their kids dead. That's just fuct up. So many kids die each year because of this.
Hitting up the keiba places also was fun, I just never let it get out of hand like I see some ojisans do.
