Pachinko is a Japanese arcade gaming device that can be best described as a vertical pin ball machine without flippers. A ball is fired at a controllable initial speed into the machine and falls through a layout of pins. If it ends up in certain pockets then more free balls are awarded to the players. Originally the device was entirely mechanical but now the electronic versions are more popular. In Japanese arcades the players can exchange balls won only for gifts because gambling is illegal, but in the Microgaming version real money players can expect to receive cash payouts. Pachislo resembles the classic three reel slot machines. Their defining feature is that each reel can be independently stopped by separate buttons. After the player acquires the requite skill his chances of obtaining winning combinations increase. The other features of Pachislo games are the Big Bonus and Regular Bonus. Players at Microgaming online casinos like All Slots, Platinum Play and River Belle can expect these new products going live soon.
