Sonic Live the Pachislo Machine
What is a Pachislo? It seems to be a combined word of Pachinko & Slot (but without the T) A pachinko runs on balls instead of coins, while most slots run on coins. However, a pachislo runs on tokens. For some reason, token gambling is not considered direct gambling in most areas. (why not? you buy tokens with money...)
This particular machine is in a Japanese arcade somewhere. You'll notice it has Sonic merchandise perched atop it to attract people to gamble on it. It also has a sort of...video entertainment as part of the experience. As you stop the spinning wheels (like a slot) Sonic jumps from pillar to pillar. If something special happens, it plays a video of Sonic, Tails & Amy in band & Omochao tells you something. You can also see Big, a UFO Catcher with dolls & a chao garden. The video doesn't seem all that relevent to what's going on with the wheels...and not much of interest happens in the video until about 3 minutes in. The video portion is supposed to make the slot more entertaining...but...does it succeede?
