Pachinko

Japanese are addicted to a gambling game called Pachinko. You buy little steelballs which you than shot up like pinball, and the balls have to go into different wholes. If you are good at it, you can win money and prices

It is a huge industry and many Japanese men and women are addicted to it. I have a friend who is a professional Pachinko player, he earns his living through Pachinko. It is said that Pachinko is mostly controlled through shady organisations. I went to this place with a friend to play a bit. the 10 USD we invested were gone after 5 Minutes. Seems there is not Gambling carrier for me..

ABOUT ME: Some insides into my Steemit life

Sort:  

I've never been to Japan, I would love to do exactly that in a few years!

Pacino looks like fun game, to bad we don't have these gamingmachines over here (Netherlands)!... Have you stayed there for long?

5 minutes. after that i left ;)

You could have made millions, ... Yen! :P

This place looks amazing. Reminds me of the rows of slot machines in Vegas. Very easy to lose a lot of money though!

it is so loud hear. you need earplugs

So many colors :D Yes, I am a gambler! Often play poker, blackjack and roulette in a casino near my hometown =)

oh cool. love bj. were do yo sit at the table for blackjack?

First position is my fav :) And you?

last one to control the game ;)

That looks like such a fun way to gamble!

It is very loud there. so I dont feeel joy playing that game ;)

Like slot machines in a casino loud or like hurts your ears loud?

I don't get the craze but Ive never even been to Vegas. I have started a small amount of sports betting but thats it.

I like playing poker and balckjack in casions. but not pachinko ;)

Just stay disciplined. Gambling for fun is one thing but many people let their imaginations run wild when they think its easy money and end up in awful financial situations. I know it may not be you but I always mention this when taking about gambling.

I like this games
I like also to gamble

Watch out steemit poker players.

I am a poker player and have won 2 tournaments in my life. we sholld do a steemit meetup for poker

I'm up for that. Isn't there people here who host steemit poker tournaments? You could add me on skype if you wanted to arrange it. Or just message me in here. Or we can communicate via the steemit chat

Amazing! Cant wait for your next blog!

thank you aneeb

I love Japan Every time I see it

it is so genius

Seems to be pretty huge there. $10 lost in 5 minutes??? You can lose a lot of money real fast.

well. I am a bad pachinko player. ;)

Makes you wonder how someone manages to make a living from it!

indeed there are some pros!
