About Pachinko
When a Pachinko parlor is said simply, it is a casino of the Japanese version.
Although gamble is forbidden law and there is no casino in Japan, The liquidation by the special form called the "three-shop system" in a Pachinko parlor is accepted law.
Pachinko is a game which a Pachinko ball pays out, when a game person hammers out a Pachinko ball and it goes into the specific hole on the face of a board.
As a result of performing a game, if the pachinko ball remains at hand, this is exchangeable for a premium.
Structure of pachinko
At general pachinko, when the Pachinko ball hammered out in the hole called a starting hole enters, whether it is great success casts lots, and by a liquid crystal display, the production for notifying of a lottery result is developed.
If great success occurs, it will be in the state where a ball goes into the hole called a large winning hole easily, and the game person can gain a lot of Pachinko balls.
Furthermore, as for a visitor, a game can be advantageously continued now because great success probability goes up for a while after great success (called "KAKUHEN") or it will be in the state where a Pachinko ball goes into a starting mouth easily(called "DENSAPO").
Premium exchange and liquidation
The kind of premium changes with Pachinko parlors and many daily necessaries, electric appliances, etc. are prepared. Especially the premium called a special premium also in it is important.
A special premium is gold of the unified standard, and if it brings to the golden agency (it is a TUC shop mostly that it is in Tokyo) outside a pachinko parlor, it is exchangeable for cash.
Although the exchange rate of a special premium is not interlocked with actual gold quotations completely, it did not necessarily change and it was decided, price amendment is performed once in several years.
In the case of premium exchange in a Pachinko parlor, it is common for all parts for the visitor to be able to exchange for a special premium to exchange for a special premium, and to exchange for sweets, tobacco, etc. about a ball not much.
