Another Word on Deji-pachi and Ippatsu-dai

As mentioned in Chapter One, deji-pachi and ippatsu-dai are similar enough to "regular" pachinko that it is not necessary to go into detail about how to read the nails on these machines. However, the playing technique is different enough to warrant a brief explanation.

Ippatsu-dai is easier to explain. One shot is all it takes to be a winner on this machine type, but suffice to say, a win almost never happens in "one shot." More than any other machine type, a steady hand and a sure eye are necessary to get that winning ball in the winning hole. Luck and timing also play a bigger role than usual. The majority of popular ippatsu-dai have several elaborate devices placed around the machine in a kind of chain. A ball first enters an upper area, rolls around or down, enters a second or third area, and then bounces down toward a penultimate scoring slot. If the ball enters that slot, it becomes the heralded ippatsu. After that the player has only to sit at the machine for ten more minutes shooting balls just about anywhere. Practically every ball will enter a scoring slot or one of the many open tulips, insuring a substantial payoff even to the lamest of players.

To further confuse matters, some ippatsu-dai even incorporate spinning number dials like deji-pachi. This makes the two types almost indiscernible to the novice. One sure way to tell the two apart is to drop in a few hundred yen. If the dials spin five or ten times, it is a deji-pachi machine. If they spin two or three times, it is ippatsu-dai.

Ippatsu-dai is a technician's game, but deji-pachi is a game of percentages. This is the game for gamblers. The object with deji-pachi is to have a winning number combination come up on the spinning (or flashing) number dials. The machine will then go uchi-dome. This is purely a matter of odds, something most players don't realize. The computer in a deji-pachi machine is programmed as a random number generator. That means that most number combinations come up totally based on the odds. A winning combination, however, is programmed to come up sooner or later.
