    Default Fun Fact for Pachinko


    A quote from Export Central:



    "Pachinko", the Japanese version of pinball, is growing FAST. Pachinko racks up gargantuan receipts of 30.4 trillion yen ($290 billion USD) per year! This leaves even the 14 trillion yen ($132 billion USD) Japanese auto industry in the dust.
