Heisei Haizanhei ☆ Sumire-chan - Vol. 7 Ch. 50 - A Woman Hitting Setting 6

[outinthegardener]

Sumire absorbed Sushi Karma's failure. Like some sort of fail-sponge.

That means Souko gets the futon and Sumire has to move into the closet.

If only she charged life for every time it fucked her. She'd have all her debts paid.

Do I need to be a compulsive gambler to understand what's going on in this chapter?

Average degen mindset

While I barely understood the pachinko gambling lingo, I still had a god laugh reading this chapter especially how the cops got called to take her down.

They can look up when that particular machine paid out?

That's beyond diabolical

I'm far from a Pachinko expert (I've never even played, preferring to catch Bandai Namco figurines on claw cranes/UFO catchers) but if I had to sum it up quickly:

• Slots are supposed to be randomly initialized (RNG) and they're reset regularly (every night or 2-3 days maybe). While it's possible to access game and winnings history for each machine, the idea of "hot machines" is just a superstition among players. Targeting a machine that has been successful is pure speculation - sometimes luck plays a part, sometimes not.
• However, there are machines that are "easier to play" (let's say low-risk, low-gain) because they activate bonuses more easily. Also, targeting machines where the previous player gave up despite an advanced bonus level can be a wise choice, think of it as switching to an UFO catcher behind someone who gave up 2 moves away from victory. You then become one of the hyenas that Sumire hates.
• The lottery system is more about fairness and crowd control than "first one can access high-payout machines".

TL;DR: Gambling is gambling. Probability theory only says you're sure to win if you play an infinite number of times, everything else is statistical predictions. Keep in mind that parlors can adjust machine settings too.

Three things in life are certain:
1.Death

3.Sumire blowing her money away gambling
Tsunade isn't the only legendary sucker here anymore.

How much is 10k medals worth?

 

[gundulgondrong]

lol sumire got a wife and instantly became typical deadbeat husband XD

 

[ACEG]

Damn, full-on brute force to a woman with a broken arm.

Granted, any random passerby would think that an adult woman is harassing a teen by propositioning them, and Sumire's dialogue about her bush certainly didn't help.

How much is 10k medals worth?

Quite difficult to answer this one. Basically you buy balls/medals/tokens to play the slots (gambling is illegal in Japan, you cannot play with money directly), play to win (or lose) more medals and exchange them to the parlors against "special prizes". You can then go to a seconhand dealer located right next to the pachinko parlor (how convenient lol) and exchange these prizes for money (and so the law has been successfully bypassed).

Usually 1 medal = ¥4-5, but you also have ¥20 rates for older machines. After playing you exchange your medals against prizes, big ones can be worth up to ¥200,000-300,000 (~ $1345-2020). The parlor buys medals at a ¥3-4 rate (profit), and then the exchange shop buys your prizes at something like 70/80% of their real value (profit again). So in the end I'd say it's 10k medals are worth about $150-200, while you bought these 10k medals for ¥50,000 ~ $335 (hence the need to gamble a lot).

Ive seen on youtube they sometimes they exchange for toys and junk food. Other times they exchange for the gold cards to trade back to the store next door for money. Do they actually sell back the toys and junk food for money or if you win a too small amount u can only get that crap or keep ur winnings?

 

[aznkane87]

Cops taking down the old woman harassing the teenage boy in public, lmao.

 

[darkeden112]

This is why I never hit pachinkos even when I have a couple shops near me. I'm afraid I'd be like this girl lmao. Gacha has been hurting my finances enough.

 

[Madokami]

Thankfully gambling is not legal in all countries.
Its the easiest way to scam people, basically a reverse ATM machine that pray in vulnerable people.
Thanks for the chapter
