I Played Japan's Biggest Gambling Obsession | Pachinko

Pachinko is Japan's most popular form of gambling entertainment. Pachinko parlors often have Western-style slot-machines and operate and look similar to casinos. Pachinko machines are a mixture of pinball, video games, and slot machines. Many media franchises such as film, anime, manga, television, and video games have created pachinko themed machines. Some of the highest grossing machines are anime-themed games. Today, I played one of the Evangelion anime series machines.

Pachinko accounts for more than 4% of Japan's GDP and is a major part of the economy. The popularity and gambling money-making possibilities have led to organized crime infiltration problems in the past. Gambling addiction is of course another problem. Though gambling for money in Japan is illegal Pachinko finds a way to skirt this law which I explain in the video.
