Posted in: Pachinko addiction a growing problem for Japanese women See in context
I love how a bunch of people who have probably never played pachinko, or maybe only played a few times, are so quick to say it's boring or useless or whatever. The fact is pachinko is genius. It's exciting, addictive and a rush. Why do you think millions of people are hooked?
Is it bad? It certainly can be to people who can't control themselves. Like anything in life, you have to do things in moderation. If you can't handle it, don't do it. Would people be moaning about chocolate cake? If I ate cake at every meal I'd be dead. Self control.
Personally, I play now and then and have fun... sometimes lose, sometimes win. It's a stress release after a busy day at the office. There are non-smoking parlous to get clean air and with headphones you can cut the annoying noise.
