LXXVII - Tokyo


Pachinko (パチンコ) is a very popular gambling game in Japan. It resembles a vertical pinball machine, but the goal is to fire up a small metal ball with the right speed to make it fall through a series of pins and into certain pockets to win the jackpot.

Much like our casinos, pachinko parlours can be recognized by the loud music, the garish decorations, and the scantily clad girls drawing in customers by the entrance.
