So true

+Robert Hein that's awesome. I actually have a machine of my own too they are a lot of fun to play if you know what you are doing. After understanding the basic concept they are fairly easy. Japanese game centers are the best.

Magic

I was confused at first too. It was a bit of trial and error playing 1 yen machines. Eventually I figured out the difference between 1 and 4 yen, how to play left and right shooting machines, how to read the stats, and how to communicate with the staff with a language barrier. My Japanese has gotten better over the time, however, my first time there I barely knew 5 words in Japanese

A B funny you mention that. There is a few machines that are actually In English. Once the devil may cry machine is released I'll do a video on it. Seems to be in English

Japanese only...

I've played it in japan. Even won a jackpot. But I had no idea whats going on. Theres a reason these games never spread anywhere outside of Japan. They just dont make any sense to non-Japanese. I think its more than just the language.

Joseph A they opened up a few parlors in Vegas for fun and one in North Carolina where you can win prizes. Guam, Taiwan, and Hawaii also have pachinko and pachislot.

Most american dont like gambling

Yup! Including Vegas or any other casinos! Pachinko generates so much revenue every year. Just wait til they legalize gambling in japan for real.

@@medalgameguru1367 he ment, its worth 12 billion dollars of the 17 billion dollar franchise worth.

MajinHurricane hmm interesting. I thought the Umi Monogatari (sea story) series was worth the most in the pachi world. Every parlor has countless sea story machines where as Eva machines aren’t doing as well now as they were maybe before. Maybe sankyo will work on catering to their fans.

@@MeowjinBoo correct

@@medalgameguru1367 no wonder Konami change their business from Triple A game dev to Casino machine and mobile game dev. So sad

+sigma975 great that you enjoy the amusement lol. I have more coming soon. I'm doing a longer video. I want to film an entire session from when I start to when I finish. These things confused the hell out of me at first, but after the first few trips I got the hang of it. Have you ever tried pachinko before ? My newest video shows me from the start of a session (renting the balls) To the first bonus. After the bonus hit, I hit a few more off of camera during the rush mode (this triggers after you hit a bonus and makes hitting another one much easier than normally) but my phone was low battery so I couldn't video the entire thing.

@@kahnadah when I started playing, I was just as confused! But yes, it’s pretty enjoyable.

That’s pretty much what is happening. When a bonus is hit, you tend to shoot right to hit the slot start hole which replenishes the lost ball and once it’s determined a bonus is hit, the quick time event occurs and if won, the fever gate opens and gives your payout based on the number of bonus rounds earned with the max on this game being a 16 round bonus. Once the fever gate closes, it continues until you lose a QuickTime event.

You seem to know a lot, have you played pachinko before?

Which version of it do you own? This is the 1/394 version.

@@medalgameguru1367 my bad I didn't even notice this was 10. They're so similar. I have 10 Speed Impact 1/198.

I see. I’ve played that one. I like the continuation chance you get in the 394 and 129 versions through.

@@medalgameguru1367 wher can you buy this machine? and whats its full name so i can look it up? all im seeing are 2018 versions that look different from this video

@@_Mydrin are you interested in this exact version? Over the years new Eva machines get released. I believe we are on Eva number 14 for this year. This specific one is Eva X and has several models. 1. CRヱヴァンゲリヲンX 1/399 1. CRヱヴァンゲリヲンX PREMIUM MODEL 1/129 3. CRヱヴァンゲリヲンX Speed impact 1/199 I recommend version 2 or 3 because the specs are lower which means bonuses do not payout as much but payout more often.

Battle Arcade well it's about 50/50. Because when you get the ball in the center hole you always get 3-5 balls back (depending on the machine). The slot is luck but sometimes there is more skill put depending on the machine. Some require timing some require spots where you need to aim the ball as it shoots out to get into a certain hole that opens only for a split second. But essentially the more balls you get in the center hole the easier it is to win. There is also surrounding holes that give balls back too but don't award a chance at the bonus. Now after you hit a bonus it goes into a fever mode where you have a certain amount of spins to hit bonuses a lot easier. I'll make a video shortly on how it works with the pachinko machine I own. There is some which are 100% skill with no luck required which I am currently in the process of getting and will post a video on that as well

Ok cool, thanks for the info. I'm really interested in how these games work and this helped a lot. Looking forward to your next vid.

Battle Arcade that will be coming really soon. I'll probably upload one on the pachinko machine that I own here shortly or when I go to the parlor on my day off Wednesday. I need to upload another video on medal games (Japanese coin pushers) those things are intense. I really hope the states will get those. I have a few videos about those

Marchel Castaneda that’s awesome. This was a 1/399 I believe and the payouts were insane. Your win was between 70,000 and 80,000 yen which is a huge win! They still have some great machines in the parlors! Do you still play any?

@@medalgameguru1367 nway that was 12years ago 🤔when i went to japan😊 Ilove pachinko

Marchel Castaneda awesome, if you are in the United States, North Carolina has a pachinko hall!

i'll have another one coming :D

when?

I’ll do a livestream on it soon. I finally got back so I am able to make more videos :). Today I made one for a symphogear machine. That one was fun to play.

Is it the exact version of this? Eva X

Which version?

KL great idea, thanks for your input.

I won 9,000 ish balls. I can't remember if I was playing high (4 cent per ball 360 dollar win) or low (1 cent per ball 90 dollar win) stakes. I put in a 10,000 yen note (100 bucks). the digital display at 3:25 would read 100 after i just insert my 10,000 yen note. it goes down every time you buy balls out of the machine. At 3:25 it reads 84(00). so i only spend 1600 yen or 16 dollars. thanks for watching!

Master Robotnik I never stated if I won or lost, I just can’t remember. I play pachinko LOTS and I’ve have had many profitable and many losing sessions. My biggest win on pachinko in one night is $1,600.00 USD on one machine. After all my wins and losses, I don’t know if I’m even, up, or down. in casinos in the states, you can get a win/loss statement. In japan, win/loss statements don’t exist.

+Laurajanehahn they are lots of fun.

Nice

this model is evangelion 10, 1/394 ver. there is now 2 newer machines and the company that makes the eva machines is sankyo.

thank you! other random question do you know if they make versions to translate anything to English?

Are you asking if any pachinko machines are in English ?

Yes i am

some have a lot of english some have a little, but there is no full translation. the easier machines to understand are the "sea story" pachinko machines, once you grasp the concept of those, you should understand how to play machines like this one. there is a machine though that does have an english guide on how to play pachinko. find the name of the machine when i go to the parlor next.

It’s pretty fun. They are difficult to understand at first. Even if you don’t know Japanese you can still get the hang of it.

I don’t know who that is but it’s giving me traffic!

@@medalgameguru1367 he’s from jujutsu kaisen he in the manga right now his whol technique evolves around this

@@Greeninja3 like winning pachinko?

This all depends on the machine you are playing. This particular machine 2180 balls for a super big bonus (three XXX) for the even numbers (example 222) on this machine, payed about 450 balls. After winning an initial bonus, the machine goes into something called a rush, this makes it easier to spin the slot and makes you have a higher chance of winning a second bonus. Once another bonus hits, if it’s a good bonus, the machine will stay in rush mode until you have hit an ending bonus (in this machine it would be a loosing battle.) Since I stopped filming during the rush, I ended up winning 4 super big bonuses and 2 regular bonuses before my rush ended. The total balls I won was around 9,000. I can’t remember if I was on a 4 cent per ball machine or a 1 cent per ball machine. So it was either 90.00 or 360.00. But I’m pretty sure it was a 4 cent machine.

Not yet. When I move back to japan I will play it.

Good for you. Must have hated it enough to click on the video 😂

I don’t exactly remember how many bonuses I got during this rush. It was probably like 12 so maybe 20,000 yen.

Had the denomination been a 4 yen machine, it would be 80,000 yen ($800). :)

Medalgameguru $200 isn't so bad. Why do the balls come out at the bottom?

That’s your opinion. gambling is a form of entertainment, do it responsibly. The same can be said for other things such as drinking and smoking, both can be addictive, yet none of those are outlawed. There’s a reason you need to be 18+ to gamble and 20+ to drink and smoke, because you are responsible for your own actions despite your addiction. If something is addicting, it is best to find professional help. Also based on what you’re saying, claw machines, redemption games, carnival games, and other similar forms of entertainment should all be illegal as well.

@@medalgameguru1367 agreed, all those things should be outlawed as well.

Naa not at all hun! It's hopes and dreams, uber spiritial connections, and the trains always on time, and everyones super polite and has magical powers etc. just like in tv. So why not get off your backside, stop binge-watching vids you obv hate, and make the trip over? We'll go to Tyson's, quaff a few beers, and put the world to rights.
