(Newswire.net — December 7, 2018) — Japan is the land of the Samurai and of the beautiful cherry tree blossoms, carrying so much wisdom that is reflected in its simplicity. Its ancinent practices are widely known and respected throughout the world, not to mention the sayings such as “Fall seven times, get up eight” reflecting their devotion and hardwork. Yet, many don’t know its other side, the quirky one.
Japan is a country that many think of as controversial. There are bizarre things like girls painting their face black on one day of the year, or cafes where men can sleep (and only sleep) next to girls, with gazing at their eyes being possible at an extra fee. Surely, you’ve seen James Bond’s Skyfall and Japan’s Ghost Island that served as the location of Javier Bardem.
But, did you know that hardworking business men are obliged to indulge in a short nap at the office? The only condition is to remain upright while in ‘inemuri’ and if you don’t feel like taking a nap you might as well fake it as otherwise your boss won’t think you’re working hard! Going further on the bizarre side, there are even naked festivals and girls dressed as maids serving cakes at coffee shops.
Japan did combine adopt some Western ideologies. For example, Christmas has been adopted by a large part of the population but it is most often celebrated at KFC- needless to say their marketers did a very good job as their campaign resulted in reservations being made as early as 2 months in advance!
But Japan has brought its own touch to many Western ideas. For example, vending machines even sell lobsters and underwear. Just like its game, Pachinko, Japan is literally a little bit of everything.
Being considered as an alternative to gambling, this well liked japanese gambling game is a crazy mix of slots, pinball, karaoke machine, and arcade games. It’s flashy, bright, loud, and is considered very entertaining by many.
Moreover, it is on the safer side comparing to other casino games being an arcade game, just like those that kids can play all over the globe. The trick is that you don’t win money directly, you earn cute little balls that you can exchange for cash at specialized facilities.
As in every well organized country, this business pays taxes and is a huge part of the Japanese economy. Believe it or not, in 2015 Pachinko earned more money that Macau, Singapore, and Las Vegas combined!
Pachinko sounds like an excellent opportunity to diversify the entertainment and shake things up. It’s not like slots but it’s somewhat close to it so American, European, and Australian audiences will find it familiar. This Japanese game has so much more to offer than just hitting a spin button and hope that this is your lucky day. You can develop a strategy and play according to a personally tailored plan. So, it becomes more challenging and therefore, more fun and exciting.This colorful and entertaining game is rich in complexity and even has various interesting topics and unique soundtracks that set the tone of the game.
Ultimately, Japanese culture is founded on the adoration of our existence, as the saying goes, “We’re fools whether we dance or not, so might as well dance”! In the end, everybody goes to Vegas to just have fun rather than to achieve the hardly likely goal of winning the jackpot. With this game, you will unavoidably get smarter making it a treat for your brain and who knows, maybe you get lucky and your wallet gets a treat too. Even the Sin City itself and its visitors could benefit from the delight of a Japanese touch.
