This guy’s wailing about losing $2,000 at pachinko

This guy’s wailing about losing $2,000 at pachinko. But gambling is actually illegal in Japan, and pachinko isn’t considered one of those. But how? It’s not gambling because people don’t receive cash there; instead, they trade their balls for small prizes. The thing is, there’s a shop nearby where people can swap those prizes for cash—conveniently enough. Just like with other gambling machines, the odds of winning are everything in pachinko. You’ll see people lining up super early to grab the machine they want because pachinko parlors mess with the machines every day before they open. Once players find a machine with better odds, they’ll play it all day long. But if they get unlucky even then, they wind up broke on the streets. Wanna give it a shot?
