Pachinko `s History

Pachinko appeared in the 1920s. Firstly, it functioned as a children`s toy and it was called Korintu Gemu, not Pachinko. Initially it was a game for home usage only, but in the course of time it was transformed into a machine with a help of which children could get such winnings as fruits, sweets and pencils. Later on adults also were engaged in playing this game. As a result, winnings were changed into vegetables, tobacco or soap.

In the 1930s the name Pachinko was introduced. Gradually this game was becoming more and more popular.

The War times slowed down the Pachinko development but in the 1940s this game became popular again.
