ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Panchiko

Okay, so imagine a pachinko machine is like a big colorful box with lots of tiny balls inside. When you put a coin in the machine and start playing, the balls will bounce around and fall through a series of pins and obstacles. Depending on where the balls land, you might win more balls or prizes.

It's kind of like a mix of a pinball machine and a slot machine, but with balls instead of playing cards or numbers. People enjoy playing pachinko because it can be exciting and fun to watch the balls bounce around and see if you win something. Just remember, it's a game of chance, so you might not win every time you play.
