Lycoris Recoil (リコリス・リコイル, often shortened to リコリコ) is an original 2022 TV anime by studio A-1 Pictures about Chisato and Takina, two agents of a secret organisation who work at a Tokyo café (en.wikipedia, secondary source). In 2026 it arrived on both sides of the parlour.

Which one to try
- “Light middle” pachinko. P-World puts e Lycoris Recoil in the light-middle class. That’s a label about how often jackpots come, roughly 1/200 according to SANKYO’s beginner Q&A (SANKYO), between the light “amadeji” (甘デジ) machines and full “middle” machines. Our machine types and specs guide explains the classes and what they don’t tell you.
- Smart slot. The Sammy machine is a slot: reels, a lever and three stop buttons, with electronic credits instead of medals. See how to play pachislot and smart slot explained.
- Finding them. Line-ups differ from hall to hall. Search リコリス on a hall’s machine list, or show the Japanese name to staff.
