That means Souko gets the futon and Sumire has to move into the closet.Sumire absorbed Sushi Karma's failure. Like some sort of fail-sponge.

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

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.
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:They can look up when that particular machine paid out?
That's beyond diabolical
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).How much is 10k medals worth?
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?Quite difficult to answer this one.

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).
