I could not resist the temptation of playing Pachinko even though I did not know how to play. My partner in crime Leslie agreed to go. I would play and she would watch! The Pachinko Parlor was a madhouse. There were excited people everywhere and lots of noises and bells. I grabbed a seat beside a kind Japanese lady who had five baskets of little silver balls. I figured either I would have beginners luck or Lady Luck sitting next to me would take pity on a poor American and share some of her winnings with me. Well, I was wrong she didn’t share any of her winnings. However, the kind Japanese lady did try to teach me how to play by pointing to the target where the silver balls needed to land. She even stuck one of her personal coins into the machine to help me keep my aim on target. Before I knew it I had lost 2,000 yen (don't worry that is only 20 US dollars!) My momma didn't raise a gambler. So I called it quits. Despite her kind efforts, sometimes you've got to know when to hold them and sometimes you have got to know when to fold them. I folded!
