Day in the Life of a Japanese Casino Worker Pachinko

A day in the life working in Tokyo Japan as a Pachinko Casino Worker. This is what a typical day working in Japan is like if you work in the Casino Entertainment and leisure Industry. This is typical life living in Tokyo and working a morning shift. The Japan working culture is shown as we follow Kento, 27 year old Pachinko Parlor Hall Manager from morning until evening to see what his average Japanese job is like. Pachinko Hall manager works at Maruhan, one of the largest Pachinko companies in Japan. Pachinko is a type of mechanical ball game resembling pinball, but instead with many tiny balls and with the aim to drop the balls into specific pockets in the machine. If one of the balls, goes into the designated pocket, called STATO CHAKKA, it will initiate a slot machine like roll on the LCD screen. If the numbers or patterns line up, then it’s a jackpot. The winnings can be used to claim various prizes at the front desk, but cannot be claimed for cash directly since gambling is prohibited by Japanese law. Instead, the winnings can be exchanged into gold chips. Then outside at a neighboring TUC shop, the gold chips can be exchanged for cash.

NOTE: I hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy during these times. This video was filmed before Tokyo started recommending a city lockdown. In fact, at the time of uploading this video, Tokyo is still not officially on lockdown and residents are able to go out as they wish, but please know that I am staying at home these days as much as possible, eating meals at home and only venturing out for necessary items such as pregnancy clinic visits, grocery shopping, etc and also practicing social distancing as much as it is possible in Tokyo. And of course, I am not traveling these days.

This man wears a full suit just to change out of it into a uniform....this man does not screw around.

[kurukuru]

"Shinjuku can get very dirty."
He said while sweeping what seems to be the cleanest street I had ever seen.

[ber]

"Day in the life of" is a really good series. I'm always looking forward to them xD thanks for the awesome content!

[elitadream]

My God...

This guy does *everything*. Cleaning, greeting, managing, patroling, giving instructions in an extremely busy/loud environment AND doing all of that with flawless speed as well ad impeccable composure on top of it all.

I would drop dead at the end of a single day.

[mattreichel]

Japanese worker: _exists_
Paolo: *I'm about to explain this man's whole career*

[EyeDoubleU]

I appreciate the dude straight up calling someone out for cutting in line.

[TheBoyaaah]

"Shinjuku can get very dirty", sweeps only one cigarette in THE most cleanest street walk ever

[Bryanpeacock]

He takes such pride in his work..I need to take some lesson from this man... Very inspirational

[zecurox]

so he is basically a manager, cleaner, server, body guard, accountant, did i miss anything?

[stupidfrog]

This guy has the work ethic of Spongebob.

[MADEbySOUL]

Can we take a moment to appreciate his style in the morning? All these people work so hard, are organized and look so kind! Japanese etiquette is very awe inspiring.

[dityamahandaru]

My god, he checks each of the slot machines, the monitors, clean the storefront, greet customers, check and pamper the customers, check for daily reports, clean the toilet, giving feedback to apprentices...this man does everything

[nsxdarin]

"Kento has discovered a player cheating."

"Let's follow Kento as he smashes the customer's hands with a sledgehammer."

[santinoalvarado]

“It gets pretty dirty here”

*picks up a 1/16th inch of piece of paper*

[etram]

"He's the Casino Manager". Then proceeds to 1) pick up the broom to sweep, 2) Greeted customers as a receptionist, 3) help customers having difficulty with the machines as a tech, 4) attend to customers as customer service rep 5) logs in daily events as clerk/data encoder, 6) cleaned the toilet as a janitor, and 7) picks up trash as utility staff. That's gonna be one hell of a mouthful for a job description.

[alexmathewmendoza]

9:25 I really like the way he handed that thing over to that guy. Just well-rehearsed and carefully done.

[Screcy]

"They can't get money because gambling is prohibited, but they can get golden chips that can be exchanged for money next door."

That just sounds like gambling with extra steps..

[robzildjian]

Seriously, Japanese customer-service is on another level.

[-FK-]

Man, he's so polite and positive even when being ignored-- would buy that man a beer.
