The last paragraph of the heading provides the revenue of the pachinko industry and then compares it to the profit of the casino gambling and narcotics industries. At best this is unhelpful, at worst it is misleading. The sentence should be revised with revenue/revenue comparisons or removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lhoriman ( talk • contribs) 02:24, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
As this has not been edited in a year, I am removing the misleading comparison. Wee Jimmy ( talk) 23:39, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
I read this article and most of the information seems based on the editor's opinion and knowledge. There are no sources to backup most of the information in this article.
The article someone else found (see archives) at http://www.pingmag.jp/2006/04/06/pachinko-designs/ actually has a lot of useful information in it and while rather toward the loose side of secondary, seems to be reliable enough for the basics, including many facts not mentioned in our article (where pachinko was introduced, the fact that the games are very noisy like American slots, so on and so forth). — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ Contribs. 05:30, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
I need some verification that Japan has children's version of pachinko which are played at night markets, fairs, and festivals. I know both Japan and Taiwan sells toy pachinkos made of bright colored plastic and uses small metal balls. But, the one I am refering to as the children pachinko is home-made using wood, nails, and glass marbles which are cheaper than steel ones. I know Taiwan night markets have them when I was a kid there, we redeem glass marbles for toys and candy. Anyone know about Japan's side of things?
These sections are unsourced, and they seem silly to me -- just a bunch of rumors and speculation.-- 76.167.77.165 ( talk) 03:10, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
I've declared Pachinko the December 2011 Collaboration of the Month for all of the projects within the scope of which the article falls. It badly needs work, especially sourcing. Since it is based on the ja.wiki version of the article, and most of the sources will be in Japanese, it could obviously use some help from someone who knows the language. Basically, the article has a lot of information, but virtually none of it is sourced. It has some suspect "information" in it (I removed most of the blatant WP:NOR and WP:NOT#HOWTO violations), and it is also missing historical information prior to around 1920. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ Contribs. 09:29, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
A list of known manufacturers might be useful, as some people believe there were hundreds of manufacturers. Did machines from these manufacturers survive? I have 35 or so named manufacturers (I can make a list). Then, will we determine that Maruto an Tomaru are the same? MNPachinko ( talk) 13:11, 22 April 2015 (UTC) Other areas for discussion: nail patterns, payoff amounts (e.g., 10, 13, 15, 20 (Misono)), payoff mechanisms (tulip, open-open-close-tulip, see-saw), garbled English ("King Gorira," "Asletic," "Itary," "Evelest," others?) MNPachinko ( talk) 13:11, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
There are hundreads of Pachinko video games. Many franchises like Sankyo Fever, Heiwa, Nishijin Pachinko, etc. I'm going to create the section "Video games". ok? -- Hydao ( talk) 09:59, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
I have evaluated the article Pachinko as High-importance. Pachinko parlors are an ubiquitous feature of any large town or city in Japan, new games are constantly designed and are much anticipated, and pachinko-addiction has been a major social and legal issue over the years. While pachinko has been a source of recreation or entertainment, it has also been grounds for bankruptcy and divorce, and fueled organized crime. Boneyard90 ( talk) 13:18, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
I was told recently, in the context of a Japanese online game ( [1]) that some "law related to pachinkos" set up to prevent giving out awards in incomplete parts (presumably so that players would have to keep playing to complete a reward) messes up with online games. Could anyone verify this, and add some information like - which law is it? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:37, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

there should be a section about the negative effects of pachinko on society and gaming addiction... Teemeah 편지 (letter) 21:38, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
I remarked to a friend last night (in allusion to Turing Tumble) that I don't think I've ever seen a Pachinko machine in the U.S. She averred that there was Federal law, but if so I have been unable to track it down. kencf0618 ( talk) 00:13, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Before I generate a
page move request, I'd like to first obtain some opinions. As far as I can tell, 'pachinko' is a descriptive name for a type of machine, just as 'pinball' is a descriptive name. Thus, I'm a little confused why the article title is italicized for a
common noun. In examining the article source text, I find
Template:Italic title, with the reason given as
Category:Japanese words and phrases. Well, I didn't find anything in this article's Talk page, or its Archive, that would offer a clearer explanation of why a common noun in Romanized Japanese, is italicized. Would someone be so kind as to provide a brief explanation for the record? Thank you.

This article multiple times makes the point that pachinko playing is gambling for money via the fiction of tokens or "special prizes". It probably ojnly needs to be said once or twice. 203.13.3.94 ( talk) 01:45, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
Neon_Genesis_Evangelion_(franchise)#Pachinko and Fist_of_the_North_Star#Pachinko vs this article Pachinko#Franchises
Any explanation for the difference here? the difference is upward to 4+ billion. thanks
