While pinball requires the player to pull a plunger to begin, Pachinko is played by turning a round knob located at the bottom-right of the machine. This is, arguably the only opportunity for technique: the degree to which you turn the knob determines how far your ball flies up into the playing field. Ideally, you want it to travel upwards and enter the playing field through one of the top corners, with the top left corner a recommended sweet spot of entry.
Once you’ve gotten the hang of it, you’ll have a stream of silver balls plunking down the board in front of you, some of which will hopefully find their way into the small hole in the middle of the playing field (called the “gate”). Getting balls into the gate is what kicks Pachinko into overdrive. - How to Play Pachinko - for BeginnersWhen a ball enters the gate, it triggers the three jackpot reels (usually digital these days). You’re hoping that they ultimately stop on three identical numbers, which constitutes a jackpot and will reward you with scads of balls.

Depending on the machine you’ve chosen, you're favourite anime characters, game characters, or even stars from your favorite film will appear.
Jackpots trigger payout mode, in which additional slots open on the playing field (called “attackers”), generating exponentially more winnings when targeted successfully. - 04
