    Default P machines - A new pachinko era

    I could find a lot on the forum regarding the new regulation on pachinko & pachislo in Japan which caused the change from CR to P machines (P機). By 2021, these P machines seem to be mandatory in Japan.
    It seems that the new regulation aims to make pachinko less addictive by decreasing the long term winnings. At the same time, some minimum payouts are also defined.
    In my understanding, this will promote shorter play, and limit both loss and winnings.

    Some reading I found : https://pachiseven.jp/articles/detail/8790 and https://biz-journal.jp/gj/2019/12/post_133859.html and https://nana-press.com/post/32789
    Some copy paste in case the sites don't work or google translate fails for you:

    After 10 hours: 50% to 133%

    Features of P machine
    Up to 6 levels of jackpot probability can be set as with pachislot
    Hundreds of balls are circulated in the table and the number of balls is managed by the built-in weighing machine.
    Also, from some other info found it seems the P actually would stand for "Personal" and that it would be a kind of full cyclic machine with 6 settings (same as pachislo) that just stores your winnings somehow.

    I think this might make it a lot easier for a home parlor, but it remains to be seen what this means for the future of pachinko.

    Did anyone else find some info? What is your opinion?

    Pachislo: Beatmania
