I love these games, started with one and then it took off. I have 15 of them lined up on the walls. I worked on each of them and play them as I walk by daily. Themes are different and makers as well. Simple Games, Fun to play! All though they are not actually coined operated, the balls are the money, when you win they would pay out in prizes and then you would go to a shop next door and exchange prizes for cash. Illegal to gamble in Japan.

Hey Dave,
These are great I had one when I was a kid and sold it long ago. But was lucky enough to come across one from a local store and bought it for my son a few years ago. Just have to get all of the lights working. They are so much fun.
