Sony Playstation Super Casino Special

I did not have a chance to check this one out in full but it looks like a standard multi-player pachinko simulation where you are able to play a variety of different pachinko tables. For the uninitiated, pachinko is a Japanese national pastime where you maneuver a little dial to adjust the direction of a series of little balls and watch as they tumble down a cluttered playfield. Your goal is to have some of the balls go into bonus areas where you can win money or extra balls to play with. The parlor that the action takes place in looks like a real pachinko parlor with its machines that are lined up next to each other and the patrons engrossed in their activity. You can compare pachinko to our own pinball but the 'life span' of the pachinko ball is a lot shorter because there are no flippers in pachinko, just your dial and you sense of aim. Chance also plays a good part of where the balls eventually end up.
