This can be define as the oldies “slot machine”. Definitely a fav Japanese past time which you may not find outside Japan.

The Pachinko Hakubutsukan boasts 148 machines, many of them rare and historic mementos of the game’s industry. The popularity of the game can be explained by the fact that any form of gambling, despite the ubiquitous existence of pachinko parlors, has been officially prohibited in Japan unless it is run by a government-related body. Even pachinko is a form of gambling, the government has allowed it to thrive for decades in a legal gray zone.
