NCS Product Synopsis
Update: June 6, 2001
«©NCSX» Pachinko rules in Japan. A close approximation of pachinko in the United States would be pinball but whereas the attraction of our table sport has faded in recent years, the Japanese continue to love their pachinko parlors. From the neon buzz of Tokyo to the natural settings of rural villages, pachinko halls dot the landscape and draw both men and women who are consumed by pachinko madness.
Outsiders may view a pachinko table as a rather staid affair. Simple Hanemono pachinko machines sport a circular play board pock-marked by little wooden or plastic pegs and spinners. Shoot a succession of small metal balls from a firing location and watch as they tumble down through the maze of pegs to land inside open slots which are marked with scores and bonuses. Hit the bonus slots and you'll receive a payoff in tokens or additional metal balls to continue your game.
Pachinko Station V focuses on Deji-Pachi, or digital pachinko, machines. A step above Hanemono, the payoffs are determined by a microchip. These pachi stations invariably feature an LCD screen in the center which is set off whenever a metal ball slides into a special slot. Keep hitting that special slot and you'll garner a straight. When a certain sequence such as 7-7-7 is hit, the lucky shooter nabs a payoff known as a fever. The gambling aspect of Pachinko is undeniable and perhaps therein lies the root of it's popularity among the Japanese populace.
