Pachinko is a game that has evolved uniquely in Japan. It uses a vertical platform with lots of nails inserted and some randomly placed holes. The purpose of the game is to flick balls from under the platform and add them into the holes. Since the first pachinko parlour in Japan about 90 years ago, it has gained popularity as a familiar entertainment.
What is Pachinko
Pachinko is said to have originated from a wall machine (wall game) which originated in Europe. The wall machine is a game that has the same structure as a pachinko machine where balls have to be flicked into a hole. It is thought that the game developed independently in Japan and became Pachinko.
Even nowadays, the basic structure of pachinko remains unchanged. However, since the trajectory of the ball changes due to the complexly placed nail, it is difficult to put the ball in the target hole. Therefore, it is necessary to finely adjust the angle at which the ball is flicked. While it is a simple game, it requires a certain level of skill.

There are many pachinko machines that give a view of the world, and there are image characters that show this. In addition, collaborations with TV celebrities, comedians and anime are also common, and the designs are abundant.
In particular, collaborations with popular Japanese anime is thriving. There are machines with various anime and cartoon characters such as Ninja Hattori-kun and Tom and Jerry.
