Playing Pachinko

Online Pachinko is gaining in popularity so following a few basic strategies can lead you to maximising your profits. The reality is that although Pachinko is great fun and highly addictive, there is no real strategy that you can employ to increase your chances of winning. However, as with all online casino games, there are some good tips that you can apply while you play.

Getting started at Online Pachinko is very simple. The currency of the game are the balls which you purchase, however a good tip is to ensure that you only ever purchase balls that suit your bankroll. The denomination of the balls can vary from as low as $0.05 to as high as $5. To find a level that you are comfortable with ensure that:

  • You choose a denomination that will provide you with plenty of game play
  • If you lose you will not be too upset
  • The level is high enough to challenge you
  • You are satisfied with the amount of any profit you make

So if your bankroll is $50 then you can get plenty of play with $0.10 balls, but perhaps $0.25 would be more challenging. However if you played $1 balls then your game could be over pretty quickly if you're not careful!

Once the balls have been purchased, they will drop down into a loading area. Play begins when you click on the launch button, which propels the ball onto the board. You can control the power of the ball release by holding the mouse button. This is the only point in the game where you really have any input into the game, but much like a pinball machine, there are no measurable benefits of a “powerful” launch.

While most balls will miss, a small percentage will land in a winning pocket triggering the bonus feature. Again there are no secrets for the jackpot mini-games, just hope that you are lucky enough to spin identical symbols to win the big prize!

Money management is vital to all online casino games. Only ever play with a small portion of your total bankroll, and if that amount is lost during a session then stop playing. Do not try to chase your losses. Conversely, if you are lucky enough to win then cash in your profits and go buy yourself something nice! This strategy allows you to minimise your losses if you have a bad run, while enjoying your profits if you get lucky.
