Japanese culture includes many different games, but few can match the popularity and entertainment value of Pachinko. It is estimated that up to 50 million Japanese people play the game, with 15 million playing it on a regular basis.
Pachinko is a mechanical game with small balls and special equipment which is used to direct the balls past various obstacles and into predetermined pockets. In some ways, the game can be compared to both pinball and pool, but the fact is that Pachinko is a unique phenomenon.
More recently, thanks to various technological improvements, the game of Pachinko has made its way into the online world, with various Pachinko versions and Pachinko based slots appearing in online casinos and mobile apps. Gamblers looking to get more information about this game or any other casino game can see the resources in Japanese by Onrainsagi.com.
