Victory Zone : Real Pachinko Simulator

About

Pachinko is a Japanese gaming device used for amusement and gambling. A pachinko machine resembles a vertical pinball machine, but with no flippers and a large number of relatively small balls. The player fires a ball up into the machine, controlling only its initial speed. The ball then cascades down through a dense forest of pins. In most cases, the ball falls to the bottom and is lost, but if it instead goes into certain pockets, more balls are released as a jackpot. Pachinko machines were originally strictly mechanical, but modern ones have incorporated extensive electronics, becoming similar to video slot machines. The machines are widespread in establishments called "pachinko parlors", which also often feature a number of slot machines. Pachinko parlors share the reputation of slot machine dens and casinos the world over - garish decoration; over-the-top architecture; a low-hanging haze of cigarette smoke; the constant din of the machines, music, and announcements; and flashing lights. Modern pachinko machines are highly customizable, keeping enthusiasts continuously entertained. Because gambling for cash is illegal in Japan and Taiwan, balls won cannot be exchanged directly for cash in the parlor. Instead, the balls are exchanged for token prizes, which can then be taken outside and traded in for cash at a business that is nominally separate from the parlor, and may be run by organized crime (yakuza). There are many types of pachinko machines and parlor regulations, but most of them conform to a similar style of play. In order to play pachinko, players can buy metal balls by inserting either cash, a pre-paid card, or their member's card directly into the machine they want to use. At parlors offering an exchange rate of 4 yen per ball, 1000 yen will get you 250 balls. These balls are then shot into the machine from a ball tray with the purpose of attempting to win more balls. The pachinko machine has a digital slot machine on a large screen in the center of its layout, and the objective here is to get 3 numbers or symbols in a row for a jackpot. Victory Zone - Real Pachinko Simulator is a pachinko simulation game that features a perfect recreation of 20 pachinko machines. As the name states, Victory Zone is a Pachinko simulator. Pachinko is a gambling device resembling a pinball machine without flippers. Balls are launched into the play field, to hopefully land in an area that gives bonus balls. The player can control the launch speed of the ball, but nothing else. The tables feature a slot machine mechanism in the center, that if landed on, will spin, with the largest payouts coming from here. Victory Zone includes 10 modern electronic tables, and 10 mechanical tables from Sankyo. Tables can be customized in various ways, including changing the background graphics and music, as well as gameplay changes. In addition, a two-player mode (called Attack Mode) is included, where one player has a certain amount of time on a table, then player 2 has to beat their score. In-game, the table can be panned, zoomed, and rotated to examine it more closely. The player's wins and losses over time are recorded and can be viewed as a graph.
