Pachinko Slot Review

How to play

Pachinko combines gameplays from two different gambling games. At its heart, it’s a 90-ball bingo game played on four tickets, with 19 bingo patterns. To play the game, then, you start by adjusting your bet. You will select the bet per ticket, and when multiplied by 4, it will give you your total bet.

The bet per ticket ranges between €0.05 and €10, placing the total betting range between €0.20 and €40. The range is perfect for all players despite their budget. All wins are multiplied by the bet per ticket. After you choose your bet, you can click on the start button.

Different balls with numbers assigned to them will drop down to the middle. You get 30 initial balls and, if you’re close to a win, you can buy extra balls for a specific price. When the numbers of the balls match with those on the tickets, the latter will be marked. You win when the marked numbers of the bingo cards match any 19 patterns.

Symbols and payouts

Since the Pachinko slot is mostly a bingo game, there are no symbols on the reels. The payouts are calculated by the different bingo patterns since there are no symbols. There are 19 patterns, and while some will unlock bonuses, others offer different payouts.

The highest paying pattern is the jackpot that is rewarded when you fill all the bingo ticket positions simultaneously. It will reward you with the jackpot prize – more on this later. Next is the bonus pattern, which will unlock the bonus game and offer you 400x your bet per ticket.

The next pattern is The Torii Gate. This is when you fill all positions except the first, middle, and last on the center row. It will give you 400x your bet per ticket. Then, in the Maneki-Neko pattern, where you fill all except two on the first row, one on the second, and two on the third, you get 200x.

If you land two complete lines anywhere, you get 100x your bet per ticket. The next two patterns are when you land all positions except the two on the first row, one on the second row and three on the third row, or the other way around, you get 80x.

The low-paying tickets offer payouts of 40x, 40x, 10x, 10x, 8x, 3x, 3x, and 3x your bet per ticket.

Best Pachinko bonus features

Look out for top rewards with the Pachinko bonus features, and increase your winning odds. When you land the Bonus pattern, it will unlock the game. It is a five-level shelf with Maneki-Nekos of different colors. Each one holds random cash prizes or an exit message. The hidden rewards depend on the shelf level, and you can win up to 1,450x your bet per ticket and 400x the fixed prize.

You also have the chance to win free balls each round. If you're lucky, you can win up to five free balls and even get the extra balls for free. Note that there aren’t any Pachinko free spins.

The bingo-slot also features wild symbols. The wild symbol allows you to select a number on any ticket that wasn't called. It comes with the extra balls.

Finally, you can land a Jackpot prize. This offers a whopping prize of up to 5,000x your bet per ticket. It is rewarded when you can achieve a full house without extra balls.

RTP & volatility

The Pachinko Return To Player is set at 95.82%, and although it's way below the average for online slots, it is more than decent for bingo games. Its volatility isn't known, but these games usually offer consistent wins.
