Eventually the games became known as Pachi-Pachi.  The first commercial pachinko parlor was opened in<br>Nagoya<br>in 1948.<br>In the 80s,<br>Pachinko<br>madness exploded as electronics and computer technology were integrated into the machines.

The machines use tiny 11mm steel balls that are poured into the front trough that feeds the shoot
