    Default Japan for the Uninvited: Pachinko

    Japan for the Uninvited: Pachinko
    September 5th, 2004

    Pachinko
    Have you got the balls?
    Pachinko is the largest industry in the worldÂ’s second largest economy, but few people outside Japan have ever heard of it. Raking in over 30 trillion yen every year (to the pathetic 18 trillion of JapanÂ’s massive car industry), itÂ’s also the worldÂ’s largest gambling enterprise. Vegas is small change compared to this.
    Pachinko parlours are not difficult to find. There are thousands of them, spread across buzzing commercial areas and sleepy suburban streets. Covered in massive neon signs, they are an essential part of JapanÂ’s urban character.
