Keroro Gamble title=

Kids in Japan are encouraged to gamble at an early age judging from this photo of a Keroro stair-o-coins machine. May be its to get them hooked on gambling so that they fuel Japans Pachinko industry at a later age?

Speaking of Keroro, the second movie is out in march.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    That's what games are all about in these kinds of places: bet a token on your experience to win tickets (which in turn are used to get prizes).


    It's in America too: the thrill is there to "win" tickets to ultimatly get a prize. I don't believe it turns kids into problematic gamblers, because I used to play those games ALL the time and look where I am now ^^ not gambling at casinos or robbing any stores.


    Me personally I don't believe in luck, and I don't believe in winning off the misfortunes of others (IE Gambling Texas Hold 'Em). Playing slots though... your betting a machine, and ultimatly the casino company which can't lose ^^

    I remember going to Sega Park (its now gone...) and pop in 10p or 20p into this glass thing with money :D
    I bet online once also, Don't like it one bit D:

    Now I only participate into competitions and other stuff that allows me to easily win something rather than nothing. Such as winning a copy of Phantasy Star Universe for PC :D

    Heh, looks like something out of the series, what are the prizes anyhow? The first keroro movie was fun to watch but not much happened till near the end. Hopefully the second movie will be better.

    a little bit when just playing cards with friends, small buy-ins so we won't get too mad when things get a little hostile.

    I expect lots of poor Japanese people in a bout 10 to 15 years. :P They all will gamble thanks to Keroro.

    Off topic:
    I hope I recieve my Keroro Gunsou movie 1 DVD tomorow. It's the Hong Kong version, but I'm not gonna listen to the Cantonese dub. It's probably terrible, like lots of cantonese dubs except Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z which were good IMO.

    It also has English subs and Japanese dub luckily, which is odd for a official Hong Kong Release. It's official because my brother ordered it at Yes Asia (Good for DVD/CD's, bad for toys such as Transformers and Gundam).

    Curiously, gambling never interested me. I tend to think much more about the risks involved (losing hard-earned money slowly but surely) rather than the possible gains (I always find it amusing that people believe on the infinitely small probability of being millionaires at the slots. Humanity can be so envious and greedy/desperate sometimes. So sad).

    The interface seems nice, but the essence of addictive gambling is there, isn't it?
    This makes me wonder... Millions of people played Super Mario Bros. 2 and the "Extra Chance" slots at the end of each level to gain lives (including me of course). Hopefully not all of them became gamblers, right?
    But only if they temporarily associated fun, Mario and company, and slots and wouldn't get the "thrill" afterwards.

    For the others, well, their choice... of funding governments their way!

    Oh and by the way, I still don't understand the fuss about pachinkos, even if there is an old post on it here.

    Sorry Danny, you haven't made my mind change about it ^-^

    you stick some coins in which may in turn push other coins down the steps.

    Scavenger,
    Is there anybody that orders toys from Yesasia?

    Oh yeah, seen stuff like that before...! I didn't read it thorough.

    Here goes:

    It's all about physics.
    First of all, there are a lot of coins and tokens at the edge (boy, you do think it will easily fall when you see that!!) of the lower metallic plate. The newest inserted ones will slide vertically and fall on the upper one, the latter constantly moving back and forth on the lower plate.

    You always imagine that putting the next coin will make a chain reaction, in that coins on the upper plate fall and connect with the lower one (since it would be a push away) making coins and tokens fall and gain a LOT in return.

    Trust me, it is not evident at all, and the temptation to make a "Tilt" (shaking the whole machine) is simply irresistible.
    Needless to say it is completely forbidden and usually made clear on the notice.

    Quite a hypnotizing machine if you ask me... Very hard not to look at it in detail and to look elsewhere.
    Even if I never tried that game, I'm sure you will lose a lot of dough before you can even gain something in return ;)

    Thanks for reading, hoping it was clear enough for an explanation!!
    *Phew!!*
