so they let under aged people join in? Those games look so darn fun! I’ve been wanting to play the Ginga Pachinko game.

For those of you who have yet to experience the fun of it, pachinko is a Japanese-style pinball machine that is vertically-oriented, as opposed to the pinball field, which is slanted 45 degrees. Will it make it big in the US? Well, the chances are pretty good. As you just mentioned, it is a big industry in Japan, and most pachinko parlors have slot machines with anime characters printed on them as well. I understand Americans in general enjoy both slot machines and anime, and if that's the case, there's a good chance that someday it'll be a smash hit.

They sure do, at least some places. In a small town, for example, most people know each other, so the restriction is often not enforced if the parents take responsible.
On the other hand, if you go to the big cities, they probably won’t let you in.

I've been looking into this as well…
So far I've only found this one seller of modern machines online.

I only came across this from a search on e-bay.

Basically, pachinko parlors are everywhere in Japan or in Tokyo.
You won't have any difficulty in finding one in Tokyo.
If there is any gaijin friendly one, I can't find if one parlor is gaijin friendly unless I actually visit every parlor.

>What do you need to know before getting in?
You don't need any skill to work part-time at pachinko parlor. In fact, other part-time jobs do not require skills, either.
If you know and like pachinko, it's plus.
>What will they teach you?
How to maintain pachinko machines
How to clean the hall
How to treat customers
But basically the job is very easy and simple, like carrying boxes. That's what part-time workers do.
>Parlors are always recruiting but is it as hard as it seems to get the job?
I don't think it's difficult. But as we are in recession now, it could be difficult in some cases.
In your cases, you need visa and Japanese skill. But you can't get working visa with part-time job. You have to have student visa or something else so that you have right to work.

There may be some in Los Angeles. There's the Commerce Casino outside LA which is mostly an Asian clientele, so that may be a possibility. And there's a place called Pachinko Palace in Northridge, CA, but they don't have a website.
There's also a place called Pacific Rim Pachinko in Anaheim, CA, but again, they don't have a website.

A friend of mine went into one–hadn’t a clue, really. Spent hours there. Loved it.

Google is your friend.
There's no shortage of places in California that will happily sell you a pachinko machine. (I have no idea what you mean by "pachinko pinball," those are two different types of amusement machines.) Both pachinko and pinball have been legal in California for DECADES.
As for prizes…
Cops aren't going to break down your door for gambling with friends. They've got more important crimes to pursue.

I have tried many times in Tokyo, but it’s nothing special.
November 13th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
It depends on how much it's been used so far. They say it's usually 1-3 years. Or they do not use it so long because they need to replace it with the latest ones.

stay at home next time, eh? :p
