The true cost of Pachinko to Japanese society..

Japan Society, New York - Pachinko Nation

an interesting article I thought, and though it has little impact on us buying secondhand machines here, it's interesting to consider the human cost of gambling in Japan... and gambling in general.

This particular article has been posted on the forum before...but as with many neat things, has been buried in the archives.

It was nice to give it a second, or perhaps even third look... and now it is out in the open for the newer members to take a look also.

Thanks for posting this.
