To me, pachinko with that noise and the pictures epitomises the totally kitsch aspects of Japan. Wouldn't you just love to be there... And yes, of course it's a gambling game, and those folks are not just playing to watch for ball bearings! Check out these articles if you're interested http://www.the-pachinko-guide.com/pachinko/articles/ Love the video!

When one does win, he takes his balls, and goes outside to a nearby vendor, and trades them for cigarettes, textiles or whatever the winnings are woth. As long as they dont give you money, its not considered gambling.

You can't tell me with a straight face that so many pachinko parlors exist because pachinko is just so damn fun. It's a form of gambling, is it not?

You don't win anything? At all? You just win more little metal balls... okay now. Sheesh and here i thought the Arcade Slot machines down the Jersey Shore were lame. At least you can kind of win something playing Skee Ball after a while...albeit, cheap $1.00 kiddie toys. But hey, I have hundreds of tickets. I'm still saving up for that PSP from three years ago. I'm gonna get it eventually heh. So wait, people play these games just for fun? You don't win anything? At all? You just win more little metal balls… okay now.

Now, we both now this isn't true, but my limited Japanese wasn't enough to negotiate with the people running the shops. Is there anything I can say to them to convince them to let me keep my winnings?
