Pachinko is a Japanese game played on a tall, noisy machine. You buy small steel balls, shoot them up into the machine, and hope they fall into the right holes so you win more balls. Those balls can be exchanged for prizes — and, in a way Japan has lived with for a long time, for money. Whole streets of pachinko parlours have rows of machines, bright lights, and a sound like rain on metal. It looks a little like pinball, though actually the machine stands upright and the feeling is closer to gambling than to a casual arcade game. People play it for fun, for habit, and for the chance of a win. English kept the Japanese word; we did not give it a English name.
組成Borrowed from Japanese パチンコ (pachinko): ぱちん (pachin) is the sound the machine makes, and こ (ko) is a small-making ending.
