Do you Pachinko?

So I had my first real foray into Pachinko the other night, courtesy of my host father, who ushered me in saying something to the effect of, "it's something you have to try at least once." I say my first 'real' foray, because my previous experience with Pachinko lasted a grand total of twenty seconds, which were spent without touching a machine in the following fashion:

• seconds 1-5:  Maybe we can find the stairs in here. Hey, do you hear that? It sounds like a million angry and robotic bees.
• seconds 6-15:  Oh my god, our oxygen has been replaced with cigarette smoke. Why are all of these machines screaming at us? What is the meaning of all of these shiny balls? Where are the stairs?
• seconds 16-20: I think we should go. Is it just me, or are your ears bleeding too?

My impressions at that time were: 1) Pachinko is noisy, and 2) Pachinko parlour air space is 60% cancer. That's really all I could manage to glean in the few seconds which comprised our first meeting. After spending about 2 and a half hours in one, and playing at two machines, my experiences are bit more informative. Pachinko seems to be a mix of pinball machine and slot machine, but with a dash of confusion and crazy.

パチンコは？

So I had my first real foray into Pachinko the other night, courtesy of my host father, who ushered me in saying something to the effect of, "it's something you have to try at least once".

この間、「一同だけでも行ってみたら」と言うホストファザーのおかげで、ちゃんとパチンコをやれました。

I say my first 'real' foray, because my previous experience with Pachinko lasted a grand total of twenty seconds, which were spent without touching a machine in the following fashion:
「ちゃんと」といえば、そのときまで、パチンコは２０秒しか体験しませんでした。その20秒の体験はこうでした。

• seconds 1-5:  Maybe we can find the stairs in here. Hey, do you hear that? It sounds like a million angry and robotic bees.
• seconds 6-15:  Oh my god, our oxygen has been replaced with cigarette smoke. Why are all of these machines screaming at us? What is the meaning of all of these shiny balls? Where are the stairs?
• seconds 16-20: I think we should go. Is it just me, or are your ears bleeding too?

一秒から五秒：こっち階段があるかな。えっ？それ聞こえる？百万 匹の起こっていたロボット・ハチの音か？

六秒から十五秒：どういうこと？酸素がタバコの煙になってしまった！どうして機会にキーキーと鳴られているの？きらきらしたボールはどういう意味？階段はどこ？！

十六秒から二十秒：行った方がいいのよね。あなたの耳からも血が出ているの？

My impressions at that time were 1) Pachinko is noisy, and 2) Pachinko parlour air space is 60% cancer, and that's really all I could manage to glean in the few seconds which comprised our first meeting.

その20秒を体験して、感想は二つがありました。一。パチンコはうるさいものです。二。パチンコの空間の６０％は、がんで構成されています。

After spending about 2 and a half hours in one, and playing at two machines, my experiences are bit more informative.
パチンコを二時間ぐらいちゃんとやっていたから、もっと有益な体験ができました。

パチンコは、ピンボールとスロットで構成されて、困惑とクレージーが混ぜたものなんです。
