I've never quite figured out how to play pachinko. I know the basic premise is similar to this, but with all the story based game machines out there, I generally can't figure out what I'm supposed to be doing.
Check back next Tuesday for another Amidakuji.
I think the general premise is you launch a ball slightly similar to how an old pinball machine works then the ball falls downwards bouncing off a lot tiny metal pins. The player usually hopes the ball lands in certain catching spots that offer pay outs. I actually always thought it was random luck but I have read stories about professional Pachinko players before.
That is the basic premise. A lot of games these days, in Japan anyway, have stories and animations connected to them with special chances and challenges, etc. I've only tried playing a few times, but it was beyond me.
Hmmm, I'll have to add pachinko to my blog-to-do list 😎👍
It's a topic worth writing about. I haven't gone there yet because I can't stand all the smoke and noise of the big pachinko halls and also because it's not something I really understand.
I'm looking forward to hearing about the education seminar you attended. If you don't mind, send me a link once it's posted.

I'll see if there is another way to send this to you as well.
Will do! :D
