Legs & Pachinko 2008-04-26 20:36:00
A shot outside a pachinko, a Japanese game like slot machine, where you can win something from cigarettes to cars.. Players buy metal balls, which are then shot into the machine from a ball tray with the purpose of attempting to win more balls. The pachinko machine has a digital slot machine on a large screen in the center of its layout, and the objective here is to get 3 numbers or symbols in a row for a jackpot. Never played to pachinko, however it's pretty easy to recognize one: videogame style noises, cigarette smell and a lot of salarymen and weird people glued to those diabolic machines.
