Pros and cons of Sho Chiku Bai Pachinko app for iPhone and iPad

Sho Chiku Bai Pachinko app good for

i always wanted a pachinko machine, now i can have one in my pocket. addictive and fun. if you need to get you pachinko fix this is your app

-Gameplay is solid -Use of new style pachinko machines feels great -Incredible replayability (saves the amount of balls won during a session) -Visuals are soft on the eyes and filled with color -5 out of 5 stars -Best 2.99 spent on an app!!

ive lived in japan for 5 years but never really tried a pachinko parlor, because of the crazy atmosphere and confusing gambling. now that ive played this game i get it a lot more, you have to dedicate a decent amount of time. next time i walk by a パチスロ i may just step inside.

If youre a fan of Pachinko (ESPECIALLY if youre in or been to Japan), then this is the Pachinko app for you! This really brought back memories of my last trip to Japan. If youve been looking for a game covering this genre, you cant go wrong with this.

I recently visited Japan, and even though I wanted to, I never ventured into the Pachinko parlors because they were just to confusing, loud and Ive never played one before. Now after playing this and figuring it all out, I think I could try out the real thing on my next trip. Pachinkos fun!

I first got sho chiku bai lite thinking it would be the same as the regular, but it doesnt save your memory, and whats the fun in restarting the game each time?? So I figured I would buy this just to save my memory. It was totally worth the $2.00!! If you dont know whether to buy the game or not I totally suggest trying the lite version first and then if you enjoy the game buy it. This game is highly addictive, colorful, and fun to play. The animations are very cute and the songs upbeat tempo keeps you wanting more pachinko!

Some bad moments

The lite version worked just fine and I love pachinko, have a few real machines myself, so I thought hey Ill get the full version, its only a few bucks, I get it and the full version wont load, it just crashes, very very disappointed.....

Ive enjoyed the Lite version for two years now, so today I thought Id finally buy the full version. It DOESNT WORK. It simply starts to load but crashes before it can do a thing. FIX IT please. I paid for it, I expect to be able to USE it.

The developer does NOT support this app. Ive had it for nearly four years and there has been nothing new; not one update. DO NOT pay for the full version; it gets old really, really fast and has ZERO replay value! Not to mention that the game basically plays itself. Dont be fooled!
