Everything you ever wanted to know about pachinko but were afraid to ask!
As far as I know, this is the first video in English about how to navigate a pachinko parlor, and the basics of what to know about playing a pachinko machine.
(And actually no, this is not everything - I edited this from about 40 minutes down to 17 so it wouldn't be a marathon. If there is interest I will film a part 2).

This video is great! Up until today I knew exactly zero about pachinko, but you're spot on about walking past the automatic doors and being bombarded by the sounds of the various machines. Very cool upload!
Wish I could have gotten better footage in the hall. Maybe I will try again and luck out to film actually winning some money.
Thanks! First time going to a pachinko parlour and won because of this video!
Wow, lucky! What did you play?
@@Exjapter We picked a machine featuring Kaguya-sama, but it was actually a 4 yen machine. We were about to leave but noticed the machine was hot because of your tips. Stayed around and got to make back our money and then some haha
Great narration. Pachinko mystery solved. Thank you. 🙇♂️
Glad it was helpful!
Lol all in order to learn how hakari DE works 😂
lol. Hakari is a beast
haha, I had to look this up. I am watching the anime but I haven't read the manga so I haven't met this character yet. Interesting research, lol.
Same
Great informative video! Went to a parlour today!
First video to actually explain how it works!
Follow up coming in the next month or so, I have received a lot of questions that need to be answered.
Thanks for the video :)
Since the Japanese Yen has fallen against other currencies, 2000 Yen are not even 15 USD / EUR any more. Going to Japan has become much cheaper :)
It is not cheaper, it is affordable, since quality is upheld, and in most types is graded.
Dang, you even included parlor footage!
This guy has balls! (Ba-dump-tss!)
Thanks for the great video. You should probably add hastags in your desepcription and title to make the visibility more relevant if and when people search for it.
I can edit that in. Good idea.
Thank you so much. Spent two days not knowing left button was the start. Also “the ring” has English options. In Shabuya. Easier to select than others.
The plan for this week is to drop the next pachinko video, focusing on "what's happening" as you play the machine. So please look for part 2, this coming Friday! (Saturday Japan time).
Great video on the topic, thanks for this! Very helpful for anyone new to the topic - I'm interested in seeing a potential part 2 for that reason alone. I always find myself playing pachinko a little on my holidays to Tokyo, luckily picked up on most things you mentioned by trial and error, cause I certainly can't read the kanji!
Thanks for the comment. I have actually been slowly compiling some footage to try to use and demonstrate some of the common sequences and tropes common of pachinko machines. The plan is to upload "part 2" before April.
Finally!!!
Wonderful. I've been watching your Ukiyo-e videos, but I certainly had to watch this one too. I have two 1970's pachinko games my wife got as a kid. I have restored one and everyone loves it. Now I know how the system works; but could you possibly show us a Tuck Shop? I'm intrigued. Also our '70's models have ashtrays 🙄
I remember a friends house where they had a vintage machine, complete with ashtray. I am planning another how to play guide, with more details of understanding what you are looking at while playing, and will be sure to include a trip to the tuc shop.
Hallo. Yes please for a part 2. Thanks.
Will do, thanks for watching!
I've always wondered about this!
Happy to oblige. There is a LOT i left out, too, but the video is 18 minutes as it is.
I don't know what they will do in anime in order to explain how pachinko works for Hakari's domain. Cause it's really hard with understanding chance system, and sequence chains. What a manga lol
I plan to make an entire video about it soon. I didn't make this current video to explain Jujutsu Kaisen, but I realize that probably 50% of the traffic to this video is because of the manga, lol.
Thank you!
What does 1/199 mean? Does that represent the chance to win the jackpot, or the volatility?
That initial 1/199 is indeed the odds of one spin hitting that first jackpot.
Thanks for the info!
What does the 1/199 mean?
Maybe you could make a short video explaining the little statistics monitor above each pachinko machine...
I have a part2 video in the works right now and I will be certain to include that!
@@Exjapter Great! Looking forward to that. My next Japan trip is planned for the summer and I want to be well prepared!
You cleared up a question I had about what happens if you continue to drop balls while there are already 4 spins lined up. Seems like I was wasting some balls and you should always wait in that case.
Cool vid thanks.
How do you ask for the tokens that you give to the tuc shop when you're finished playing?
There is a counter inside the store. Depending on their system (smart card or old school basket collection) you will take the record of your winnings there and they give you the tokens. I will be sure to show that in part 2.
If you kept the TUC prizes... since they are effectivly a gold standard (roughly not necicarilay day to day) but... If you dont cash them... could you get in any sort of trouble? Honestly I would rather the little tuc prizes because I doubt it would amount to much at all and they are kind of cool
You can keep/request any of the variety of prizes on display, which can include food, alcohol and luxury items. If you kept any of the tokens as a souvenir that is fine too, no one will be upset at you. I have taken them home on occasion because I didn't have time to do the exchange, and I just came back another day.
On US slots you have a way to see how much money you have accumulated; with Pachinko points it is the same thing? I played last year and the entire time I was so confused as to what my total win actually was. Is it tallied up on the same display that you would use to "buy" more balls and/or cash out?
It depends if you are in the old system or the new system of ball collection. The old way is to have the balls collect in a tray and you call the staff over to swap out full trays for empty ones while winning. A full tray is usually about 5000 to 5500 yen. In the new system you just let the balls drop into the bottom hopper and they are machine tallied automatically. Your total is usually displayed either there on that bottom hopper or over on the left side where you would remove the IC card to go cash out.
@@Exjapter It wasn't the ball tray kind it spit out a card to redeem. Thank you for the help! I feel like I can probably play Pachinko more confidently next month after watching your detailed videos; they explained things way better than anyone else.
If you feel there are some other gaps in my explanations let me know and go ahead and ask more questions. That way I know what to include in a follow up video. And good luck!
@@Exjapter The only scary part of the process is not messing up the redemption (getting the card out to then get those special gold tokens and then finding the TUC shop to get paid). It'd also be nice to find a parlor that wasn't so damn loud but from what I understand they are all pretty deafening.
This is getting better, actually, since you can now adjust the volume on your own machine to lower levels. The rush of the balls is still pretty deafening though...
What was the term you used for when the game replays a spin? The closed captioning is calling it a “gigi then” and I’m tryna do some research and I cant find that term on google? Thanks
Great question. It is gijiren or 疑似連 in kanji. I honestly cant find anything in English on google about it, but maybe your google-fu is better than mine.
@@Exjapter thanks! And one more question if you dont mind, is there like a button you press to engage gijiren during a reach or does the machine use it automatically?
@@Exjapter and it seems like it translates to “pseudo spin” maybe??? If so that kinda helps explain the concept
@@Zeus_santana the machine generates the gijiren as part of the escalation of the spin, it's not something you can initiate. It also tends to be one of the most consistent indicators of a spin with a chance, as long as it happens more than once. Only once is pretty weak (unless a lot more happens additionally to indicate a hot chance).
@@Exjapter thanks so much I’ve been trying to research this for a few weeks now you really cleared this up for me
Why not just use a Magnet?
Because you'll at the very least get kicked out...
When you want to cash in the balls you have to shovel them? Or thry just tally the balls into ticket?
Places that have ball baskets are becoming increasingly rare in favor of automatic hopper systems that tally your winnings. So when you finish playing, the card or coin the machine spits out has all of your winnings on it and you take it to the reception desk for exchange.
I thogiht it showed you made money?
