What’s documented
MARUHAN lists 1,400 machines here (4-yen and 1-yen pachinko; 20-yen and 5-yen pachislot). It offers the same free manga guide and how-to-play help in English, Chinese and Korean as the other MARUHAN visitor halls.
Before you go
Shinsekai is a popular evening stop for visitors, so it’s easy to fit in. Set a time limit as well as a money limit. It’s easy to lose track of time under the lights. See responsible play.
