In Japan there are Pachinko Parlours.
People play machines that are part slot machine/part pinball.
It's a never ending supply of little metal balls bouncing around between 100's of tiny little metal pins to the back drop of catchy music.
If you are lucky, the balls drop into special holes giving you a few extra balls.
If enough balls fall into special holes, the slot machine part comes into play.
And if you are really lucky, you get bonus rounds with the chance to earn lots of little metal balls: buckets of them.
Big buckets of them!
If you are a winner, you can exchange your balls for electronic chips, which you can exchange for money.
The machines can gobble about $10 a minute, if you're not lucky.
I have a friend who says he has 3 jobs: one of them is playing Pachinko.
He is serious too!
I guess that is why he has the 2 other jobs.
His pachinko job doesn't pay very well.
