- What a mindless creation!!! BUT, its in a nice wood case and comes with 400 steel balls! (They're worth $50 alone!) This is for sale....bring $100 cash--and this thing can be YOURS!!
(Note:...this sold within a day of this posting!) Развлечения
Best sale pitch ever: "I cant think of anything more mindless or stupid than this, but I'd like you to have it"
And it sold it too!
I mean....I kinda want it now
"Everything is in Japanese, The only thing I can tell you is, to brush up on your Chinese" haha xD
:-)
"I can't think of anything more mindless and stupid.....but I want you to have it" :-D
Too good!
I honestly can't believe he said something like that since we have Casinos lol... a casino machine is just as mindless as these if not more, at least there's some actually physical effort because you gotta move the steel bearings.
I had no idea what a pachinko machine was so I looked it up and this was the 1st video I clicked on. The last line, "Come and get it." Hahah this was pretty entertaining.
ihopeutubedies And one person did come and take it! :-)
TNT Amusements Inc I think the free cobweb had something to do with that ;)
Hahah! awesome.
ihopeutubedies Haha, same here.
Hey man, do you still have that pachinko machine?
I'm interested
WTF, so Konami killed all their business to make those crazy noise making machines.
+s. Jackson Konami thought they were the greatest thing since sliced bread!
+s. Jackson Pachinko machines are the japanese equivalent of slot machines. Old men just gamble all day on these things. It's easy money and practically every game developer company makes them.
+s. Jackson Could you imagine a whole room full of these? BTW, SNK did the same thing when they got bought out in the early 2000's and they made King of Fighters themed pachinko machines. They still lost a lot of money and sold the company assets back to the original owners. Now Konami trying the same thing.
+s. Jackson
They didn't kill all their business. They make most of their money on Pachinko machines (and after seeing how it works I can see why...kinda unfair system). Gamers are lucky Konami were making games as long as they were.
I remember seeing these things in Fast and furious tokyo Drift. a whole room full of these things would drive me nuts! but i wonder if there is money involved in these over there in japan.
This brought back memories!!! My father bought one of these back in 1973 .. he purchased in Thailand when he was in the Air Force. Very similar but his actually had the electric kickers or whatever they are called where the ball not only bounces but is punched in different directions. I was only like 3 or 4 but definitely remember it! No tv monitor on it but it did make sounds and motions kinda like American horizontal pinball machines. I do remember he was VERY happy when he sold it aprx 10yrs later. A collector bought it. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.
I don't know how pachinko games are played.
But I do think pachinko machines are pretty cool.
There's something satisfying and somewhat hypnotizing with those little balls flying around and the sounds they make.
I definitely would own one if I could.
When I was in Japan I stumbled into a gaming center and people were lined up around the door is seemed to play. It is a form of gambling like slot machines or the like. You would buy a bucket of balls and after can trade them back in for "Prizes" Those prizes are like slips of gold in plastic where you can exchange them at the neighboring building for cash as to not violate the gambling laws. Getting the balls in the slot machine is where you can win big.
I used to have a very own Pachinko machine when I was a small child. I think I have it in the attic right now.
+NessLover94 You should dig it out!
lowkey one of tnt's best videos
well, the machine fires the balls out exactly the same speed...the dial you turn does not control the speed or power...its completely mindless! Possibly if you turn the switch on and off quickly, you could maybe slow the balls down a bit, but I fiddled with it for awhile and found no difference.
imagine playing dark souls on that screen
A friend of mine stepfather had a whole basement full of pachinko games from the late '60s early '70s he used to say that they were the most heavily form of gambling in Japan
Kojima got the axe for THIS noise?!
0:44 Because everyone knows you gotta brush up on Chinese to read Japanese. Be right back, gotta finish studying French for my Spanish test.
you know he did that on purpose just to be an ass
Actually, French and Spanish are somewhat mutually intelligible, with both being Romance languages. So studying French for your Spanish test just might help.
@@mikeycourington2011 No, it doesn't . I speak english, french, some spanish, Korean, and mostly japanese. (witch has 2 main text ...and china has its own speach and text. but it helps to know one when learning the other. BUT they are veery different more so than french to english
The written Japanese language uses 3 different symbol systems - Hiragana (a phonetic symbol system for native Japanese words), Katakana (for foreign words) and Kanji, which are symbols borrowed from Chinese - of which there are many thousands. So, yes, you should bone up on Kanji, borrowed from the Chinese, to read Japanese.
This guy is amazing. I was very amused indeed.
Augusto Severini Hope we made you laugh!
You did. I watched some other videos by you, very curious stuff to me. I randomly bumped into this pachinko one, but coincidently, I had recently read up a bit about the history of pimball machines in US and a bit on the collector´s culture that exists now-a-days. I have nothing to do with any of that, I just like reading on random topics now and then. Your channel happened uppon me in perfect timing. There is certainly something very romantic about how kitsch these now obsolete machines seem on retrospective analysis. It´s nice that there are guys like you keeping this piece of history alive. :)
when ur life is on the line like kaiji, u will know how interesting the game can be:)
I need that screen! lol
Konami makes a majority of Casino games in America, for those "gamers" thinking Konami makes just pachinko machines
Thanks!
You get FOUR-HUNDRED balls!? That's twice as many balls as there are pixels in this video! Amazing deal!!
Thanks Eddie!
Pachinko looks fun. That's we have our own Pachinko game here in the USA called Plinko.
LittleRockElevators It is similar for sure
1:33 imagine an arcade with dozens of these noisemakers. Reminds me of Hyperball.
I used to have a pachinko machine when I was a kid.
They are readily out there usually for around $100! Check Craigslist!
TNT Amusements Inc Don’t really need one. Enjoy your videos though. Sending you greetings from Idaho!
Kids go NUTS for them!!
I believe the number that pops up is how many tickets you win. The tickets are traded in at a window in another building for cash or prizes.
we had an old pachinco with the mechanical handle which had to be turned and released for each launch. ours didn't light up though and each payout was 10:1
+Rich Dziuba Ye.s..most of these were actually battery operated with a couple bulbs in them!
+TNT Amusements Inc- other than the lights the machine was totally mechanical
They are primarily gambling machines. The balls can be exchanged for prizes officially (and for cash unofficially). There should be a control to adjust the strength of the mechanism that fires the balls.
sorta digging up an old thread here but they do. this guy just wasn't smart enough to realize that turning the knob less decreases the strength of the shot
Also there's a button that stops the shots@@MrSplintercat
Pachinko, pinball's gamblin' Japanese cousin. Found an older mechanical model in a junk shop and I'm working on spiffing it up, a bit more skill involved as the plunger is manually operated.
Nice compromise if you don't have space for a pinball machine. Most pinballs pre-1947 didn't have flippers, so they'd play a lot like a pachinko machine does, also what got folks like Mayor LaGuardia mad...
WOO!!! WALTER!
+Chris Sharpe Thats my man!
Glad you laughed!
I'm in Japan right now and you play it wrong. It's actually quite fun and EVERYONE plays it. If you turn the wheel less, the balls are gonna shoot out less hardly. That's how you can get it in the centre hole. Then you gotta be lucky that the numbers on the screen are the same and you win the jackpot. Enjoy ;)
This looks like a model from the early 90s. The newer ones have elaborate visuals and sounds. They are more entertaining than slot machines, at least.
I would like to know size of the steel balls here.
Any guys have any idea?
Thanks
Tian Suki planning to bring some bearing balls of your own to the arcade?
lol great video
There is simply NOT much to understand about this stupid mindless machine! But perhaps, you enjoy playing them! Someone DID buy this machine for $100 though. It was a 13 year old boy. Maybe he will uncover the "secret power" these machines seem to possess over some folks! :-)
"Can you imagine people sitting in front of these machines for hours?" Don't have to as I've been to Vegas.
+Luc Damiani :-) I agree!
Right, this dude just seems to be anti-asian. Especially when he says ignorant stuff like that and says, "look I can play it without looking, how pointless"...yeah you can do the same thing with Casino games, but instead of a lever it's a button which is technically MORE lazy lol
Money makes the world go round.
100 bucks.
I would get it but this video is 9 years old.
I'm guessing you already sold it.
Plus I was so hoping to get that cobweb. At no extra charge.
What a deal.
But yet in the 80s and maybe still now pachinko parlors make time of money lol
Do you guys have any of these for sale still?
people said my price of $100 was outrageous and that they could buy them for $25...we have no more!
@@tntamusements People are idiots, lol... They seem to becoming popular lately. Don't think you can find one of that era for less then 300 these days. Unless they don't know what they have of course.
so you sell them for $100 dollars . how much is the shipping ? im interested ..
this was almost 7 years ago...sometime we get them in trade (last one was perhaps a year ago)...but we do not pack and ship them...too fragile...they are pickup only...
The activities. director of the base recreation center had one and no small screen. This was back in 74 to 75.
I wonder if he still plays it?
I want a captioned GIF of the end...
5:45 to 6:01
"My goodness! 1...6...3! What does that mean, Walter? What the hell does that mean? Oh my god. Who the hell would want this?"
Does someone came here to understand the chapter 183 of JJK ??
I think it's cool.
The way I describe a pachinko machine is "A pachinko machine is kind of a combination of a pinball machine and a slot machine."
Yes...but very little control or skill
Can’t wait to play MSG3 remastered
Is that a video game?
is this some kind of commercial? this is funny :D
good mindless fun with some sake or a light beer
a way to introduce people to video games with no intimidation
Yes...simple mindless fun!!! :-)
She was about ready to kill us. It was fun.
:-)
Better than your pinball gameplay. Hue hue. ;) I'd have bought this from you for $100. I had a 1970s one in the 1980s.
John Southern we have had a few pass through over the years
Wiki: "The Japanese government estimates the annual revenues of the pachinko and pachislot industry are in the region of ¥29 trillion (US$378 billion) thereby indicating the popularity of these games.[2] This is approximately four times the total profit of world-wide legal casino gambling each year.[2]"
That is enough to pay for an brand new Stern pinball machine for every American in five years.
there making a silent hills theme of these
Jason Betancourt That would be neat!
+TNT Amusements Inc Everyone was really pissed off about it, because Konami canceled the last major silent hill game. It's pretty insulting to the fans of the series to make a money-stealing pachinko machine instead of working out a way to finish the game. Removing P.T. and destroying Kojima Studios didn't help either.
Your 102% right Zadamanim
And Gurren Lagann
HAHA Nice sales pitch. Wow..you're right...completely mindless. I think I'd rather eat glass. You'd have to pay me $200 an hour just to sit there playing it. NOW PINBALL ON THE OTHER HAND...if you feel like you've ever lost your mind after playing that horrid game, and you wanna part with a nice 90's Williams pin for $100.00 I'm your man. :) Love your videos my friend! Hi from Salt Lake City.
Never been to a casino huh? Lots of mindless games in there too. I just noticed your from Utah, well of course you've never seen a casino lol
By the way, you realize that by turning that knob you regulate the power the balls are launched? The guy just cranked it up to the max and all the balls kept falling through the right side, missing the center gate completely - the "slot machine" game on the little screen. Which may win you more balls, or if you hit jackpot - different prizes (from the parlor.). In other words, it's as mindless as you make it. You can play Poker by saying "I fold" every time it's your turn and it will be just as mind-numbingly stupid.
sharpfang we tried turning it only half way...and different angles...and the balls always hammered to the same places...
@@tntamusements then you didn't repair it correctly because it is a skill game.
@@tntamusements There is a very small potentiometer in the knob and they are know to go bad and when they do you can't adjust and it always shoots hard. I have about 18 pachinkos with 4 (I think) being this modern type and the others being mechanical. The modern have a cool light show but other than that you are correct in being pretty mindless especially considering how many balls it goes through. The mechanical can be played slower and with a bit more skill. But the nails will determine the wins and there are workers in Japan that do nothing but set nails.
Same idea as a slot machine. No strategy, completely mindless, watch the balls fall down and then win (or more likely lose) money.
:-)
i had the same fuckin thought... it is like gambling - but without gambling...? fuckin weird... but i love the way he is trying to sell this thing hahaha now *i* want one haha
Of course not!! :-)
Your very Welcome LOL Hope I didnt offend you that wasnt my goal.
:-)
If you sold that for $100 you did yourself out of around $500-700!
Funny video.
TehOnlyShoe Thanks!
LMBO LMBO
Konami brought me here
EverardoGuzman89 Great! Please subscribe!
I’m here because I just bought one for $100
hey walter
Walt's first video too!
"It's japanese, so you'll have to brush up on your chinese." dislike gaining quote.
when he said, "japanese" im like wow, he actually knows. then he says, "brush up on your chinese" im like wtf? lmao
Like how he calls video game monitors televisions.
The have entire buildings filled with these... a hole lot of nose and cigarette smoke ;)!
The mindlessness of it is the same issue I have with most gambling-centric "games" and games of chance. Still a cool looking machine.
How more mindless is it for Americans to be sitting in front of slot machines at casinos wasting their time and money??
Sometimes I shake my head at our fist pumping "MURICA!" attitudes toward other cultures. It gets embarrassing...
I would understand, but it's a little different with slot machines. A lot of slot machines over here now actually have little minigames to play, and you're doing a lot more than just watching balls drop. You actively try to get it so everything lands on the right number (even though it never does because it's all rigged).
Hell, some casinos look more like arcades nowadays. There's this one that I played themed like CSI: Miami, where you gain "clues" as you play, and after you gain enough clues from playing a long enough time you enter a "case" where you "solve" it by trying to get specific numbers and turnouts.
So it's not really "hold this button and hope for the best".
+LouisAndPillz The modern pachinko machines are almost just like that. Ultimately, though, its all still gambling. The entertainment value comes from the possibility of ending up with more money than you put into the machine. Not my kind of thing, but I understand it...
+LouisAndPillz In a slot machine you put money in pull and play, this you put the balls in and have to wait and suspense until .. OO finally you play. It is a delayed gratification. It is a game of chance even before you play a game of chance.
Blaq Ice
I didn't feel our buddy in the video said anything about American culture being any better. All he said was that certain machine seemed like a mindless task. I think you read into it a little too deeply. I would get the impression he would most likely say the same thing about American slot machines.
They are developing a snake eater remake in one ( hence all the recent Konami comments ) So much for that
Hey guys a have one 80$
My 4yo son just told me that this machine is annoying...lol.
but.but...but...
TNT Amusements Inc we have a Donkey Kong cab, so he might be a bit biased..
Kojima was fired because he didn't agree with this shit
No that is a Bitcoin ATM. LMAO!
Thats a neat comparision!!
I've never seen anyone more arrogantly dismissive of a product while knowing absolutely nothing about it at all.
Thank you! Apparently everyone in the USA feels the same way, as these machines are basically boat anchors...NO ONE wants them even for $100 working!
TNT Amusements Inc I make this comment based on your own admissions of ignorance in this very same video. I came to this video to find out what this machine was about I left having learnt that you don't know much about it.
Xesty
Pshhh, I mean, isn't it obvious? It's a flashing noise maker. My cousins kids have plenty of these. Although, I'm pretty sure he didn't pay $100 for any of them. Also, they look different. Plus, the flashing noise maker only holds his kid's attention for a very short time. I can't imagine these flashing noise makers holding anybody's attention, child or adult, for longer than it takes for it to induce a migraine.
No shit Sherlock it's an Asian product, it has the same sort of value as an American slot machine would an Asia ... Maybe you should of done your research before you bought it for resell
You must have never been to Vegas , there's people who have sat at those Western style adult noise makers for literal decades
" A weapon to surpass meatal gear! "
anyone else here cuz of the Game Grumps?
Arin talking about Barry rocking Pachinko for his first time?
Just Mario sunshine in general, but yeah.
LMAO at your sarcastic comments !! "Look at the fun we are having, the excitement, the mirth" !! LOL !! :-) You should be in comedy ! Anyways , to answer your question about the 3 numbers in the center display: These 3 numbers appear at the end of every session when you run out of balls. If the 3 numbers are the same, you win a big prize. It rarely every happens. I know this is a mindless game like slot machines, but sometimes if you had a stressed out or lousy week at work or home , you want something mindless to take your mind off your troubles; it reduces stress for some people, and of course the hope of winning a big prize for a little money.
Thanks for the trivia...many people would have not know that! This low def video is one of my top viewed videos I have ever done...wish I had a better camera at the time!
i think after today, i want to destroy these pachinko machines.
Now you know why they are so cheap to buy!
oh well at least at casinos you at least have a chance to win a couple dollars. instead of balls smh didn't Black Rain have a scene walking down with everyone playing th(playing? ) watching. like trying to pick up a toy from one of the claws.
konami is raping MGS for this?!
No, try going to the Casino..Konami makes most of the slot machines. When Nintendo, PlayStation and Sega started making games it squeezed them out if the market.
What a headache.
This game is too confusing
This machine is really dull. Mine was older but wow when it hit, the song and dance that came out of it was addicting! I don't know what's wrong with this machine. No wonder this guy is so annoyed by it.
+TeeGification Yes...it does not do much it seems! But people really like them!
TNT Amusements Inc I to have to agree with the comments made by your previous viewer as my father bought me a Pachinko machine way back. I guess it most have been an older model but so much more animated with flashing lights and a few songs I loved it . This current model does seem dull to the my Yellow and Gold one . If I had been there that day I would have bought it from you no questions asked. I guess we Americans will always stick with pinball .
Sum Ting Wong Wit Machen.
Clever!!
why do you need to brush up on your chinese if the thing is in Japanese..?
you realise they're two totally different countries, cultures and languages right?
AyZeD The Japanese language also uses some Chinese characters in writing.
Anonydeath beside the point.
no they arent
+Anonydeath 90%
I also noticed, and it's pretty clear he guy didn't understand that
This is dumber than I was even imagining. Before watching the I didn't fully understand what a "pachinko machine" was. I wouldn't pay $5 for this, it's loud, annoying, with a pointless concept. Those balls look like basic ball bearings, and sorry but that "nice wood case" looks to me like someone slapped a couple of 1X6s together.
+MistaTofMaine Well, it's just a gambling machine like a slot machine. I had one when I was a kid and had fun with it actually. Just because you don't care for it like these dopes in the video doesn't mean you have to piss all over it for everyone else though.
lol you're not doing a good job selling this
Todd I think you rule! Your Videos are fantastic but this time Im let down completely. Pachinko is a fantastic game and your knowledge of it is severely lacking. As one of the branches of bagatelle the other being Pinball you should be ashamed of not at least knowing how to play! Stick with Pinball vids something you are a great Master at!
Seems like this guy is more anti-asian if anything because I can imagine people sitting in front of a machine like this, they're called Casinos...fyi you can also look away from a modern casino machine and push a button 🙄
