The pachinko related companies are characterized by a scattering of business results by year.

It seems that performance will be greatly affected by whether new models of developed pachinko machines were a hit or not.


Actually, I have never done pachinko, but I hold some related stocks because they are cheap and high dividend.

As I bought stock of pachinko related companies I looked into pachinko parlors, but I have absolutely no idea what is fun about them because they are noisy, and frowning customers were playing and did not seem to be enjoy spending their leisure time there.


However, pachinko parlors are consistently popular judging from the long lines of people waiting for them to open .
