Pachinko-HD 1.2

The game Pachinko, traditionally associated with Japanese gaming parlors, bears similarities to pinball machines but maintains distinctive mechanics. Historically, Pachinko machines are used as gambling devices where players aim to win prizes or monetary rewards.

We are pleased to note that in Japan, this game has achieved notable success, reaching the #1 position in Top Paid Games and ranking #5 in Top Paid Applications. This reflects its popularity among players and its prominence within the app marketplace.

The original Pachinko machines were entirely mechanical, and our digital adaptation seeks to emulate these early models. The gameplay involves a degree of skill in launching the ball towards specific areas of the machine, combined with elements of luck—particularly when aiming for “tulip” or “drop bucket” zones to trigger jackpot rewards in the form of additional balls.

How to Play

To initiate gameplay, swipe downward across the lower section of the screen to move the lever and then lift your finger to release it. The force behind the launch is determined by how far you pull the lever down—greater distance results in a more powerful shot. Balls are launched through a chute on the left side and descend vertically through the machine’s playfield. Achieving a jackpot involves guiding a ball into “tulip” zones, “drop buckets,” or the central area; successful entries payout with additional balls from the bank. When a ball enters these zones—particularly the center—multiple outcomes may occur: multiple tulips could open, increasing the chance of further jackpots depending on where on the wave the ball hits. Experimenting with different lever pulls allows players to learn how to better control where balls drop and improve their odds.

Some users have noted that initial gameplay may seem challenging. We recommend adjusting settings: increasing “Balls to Start” and “Balls Per Award” for a more accommodating experience. Additionally, high score features have been incorporated based on popular demand, encouraging competitive play among users.
