Here's a description of the game for those who are not familiar with it

Pachinko

Basic introduction to Pachinko, a Japanese mixture between slot machine and pin ball.

This is where you can play the online pachinko. It's not a very realistic game but it's what's available out there now.

I have heard that some casinos in Las Vegas have Pachinko machines.

I don't get what's going on. I'm just rapidly clicking the play button and balls are just flying out at like 15 balls a second from the side. Is there any control in this game?

The Koreans control the game.

There really isn't any control. It's basically a game of chance like the slot machine. The object is to get the balls to fall into the slots marked "10". Each time you do, you get 1 credit. The credits keep adding up until you get a ball into where it's marked "jackpot." then you get the total number of credits times 10 balls added to your ball count.

In a really pachinko parlor in Japan once you feel you've won enough balls you can redeem them for prizes.

Capische?

Neptunemoon,

I live in LA now but I lived in NYC for over 25 years. I once taught math at Brandeis HS in Manhattan.

I hope you get to make your wish come true and go to Japan for a visit or to study.
