Do you know a smart ball? It is similar to pachinko, or Japanese pinball machine game. Probably pachinko originated in this smart ball. I don’t have a habit of betting. I have played pachinko only twice in my life. But I peeped into this amusement ground, it was crowded with not only middle-aged or elderly persons but also young persons(18 years old or older is permitted). I decided to challenge it once. Thankfully it costs only 100 yen for one play. It is larger than pachinko and the stand is horizontally placed(pachinko stand is vertically placed). The white ball is also bigger than the one of pachinko. I chose a stand of pachinko among several ones without thinking a lot. There seems to be the thing which is easy to appear of the ball depending on how to shoot nails. So you had better choose easy one, if you play this game. It was very enjoyable. Some balls went into the hall and then another 5 or 15 balls flowed to me additionally. My box was full of balls(50 balls). So I exchanged the balls for an almond chocolate, which costs 210 yen at regular price. 100 yen has doubled! I won! I gained! There is a person profiting for around 10 times, but profit of double is just right for me. This game ground with the smell of the Showa was nostalgic and pleasant place. I want foreigners to enjoy it by all means.
