Pachinko Professional Lesson 1

Pachinko is not an easy game to master.  Many websites will explain what the machine is and what it does, but only I will tell you how you can win.  I am a winning player at this game and have been for some time.  You will lose some days, and lose a lot, but the days you win can offset this.

The first thing you must know is which days and time of day will be most profitable.  Sure, it is possible to win on any day but some days are luckier than others.  Go to your local parlor and check the signage, if they are having a big event then you should show up early in the morning, about 9AM or before to grab a good machine that you have scouted.

You can see the last days statistics and in some parlors the last days spins per win statistic on the LED display above the machine.  The machines are reset nightly but in the morning especially on an event day "yesterdays winner" will still be set high.

Pachinko Machines are set from levels 1-6.  1-3 lose, 4 win small, 5 and 6 are great.  The guys sitting at the 5 and 6 level machines are likely to go home with 70,000 yen or more once their day is done.

Event days have more of these such machines.

Lesson 2 coming soon.

Pachinko

What is Pachinko?  Simply put, Pachinko is a type of Japanese gambling machine.  I know that you may have heard there is no gambling in Japan, this is true in a legal sense when applied to Pachinko and Pachi-Slot. (Japanese style Slot Machines)  Pachinko is most easily explained to a foreigner as "Upright Pinball" but it is a bit more difficult to grasp than that.  This blog is designed to help foreigners become good at Pachinko, know the etiquette and how to get your money.

I also will tell you about Pachinko Software that you can buy for your home console such as Playstation 2, that somewhat mimics the experience for those who cannot go to Japan. (or those who wish to practice)

Pachinko must be played to be understood, and it is part of the tapestry that is Japanese culture.  I hope YOU TOO, can become a Pachinko Professional!
