arnt those the balls you drop in those machines that seem really big in japan? I dunno how it works but from the dramas I seen you just drop balls in and do some twisting and somehow if you get lucky or skill you win stuff/money?

yes, it's not pinball... you drop tons of balls down little chutes in an attempt to get a ton of points and cool flashing lights

Sorry to crap on your thread OP but pachinko balls are nothing more than ball bearings. So go to a local hardware store with one in hand, match up the size, and you will have as many "pachinko" balls as you want for a lot less money.

They're often marked just like chips... We used to have a machine. It was fun for a while.

This was a while ago... no computer or anything like that. Little levver on the lower right to shoot a ball up into the machine. My brother and I broke it beyond out abilities to repair. We tried calling around to see if anyone could fix it. Almost no one has a clue what we were talking about. This was "more than a few" years ago.
Edit - ours looked A LOT like this one

i never understood pachinko.. you just drop the balls in then a bunch of lights go off and you get more or less balls comming out of the chute depending on what things you hit? are there even paddles like a pin ball machine? is it like slots where you put a bunch of balls in and just hit the button till you're out?
