Asian slots / pachinko machines are something else...

[stadus]

Those flashing lights and intense anime visuals act as a sensory trap. They are intentionally made not just to stimulate players interest but also to encourage impulsive, extended play where casinos can continuously grow their revenues.

But as for me, what I see is a distraction since I'm actually used to play in plain and simple casinos. I have my sight issues already so with this massive LED screens, heavy vibrations and booming soundtracks, it just made me uncomfortable when betting on slots.

As someone who enjoys minimalism found in sober casinos like Stake, I don't think I could stick to this machine longer than thirty minutes without needing to rest my eyes from it.

I think I have to completely agree with you, I watched the video and I have to say that the lights are way too much, and the flashing lights makes things more badder than it already were..

I honestly think that some developers usually don't put things like, like how this lights could affect the eyes of the player if they sit there steering for too long, into consideration when they are building, and this could likely be because they themselves are always in glasses and they easily assume that everyone else is or could be on glasses too.

But again on the other hand, I am assuming or guessing that there could or should actually be a button to bypass all of those videos and the flashy lights and straight away take the gambler to the page where he or she would see how much he or she had won from the bonus. If there is no such feature, then it's absolutely not a good slot machine game.

Would you gamble on a machine like this one for real or would it affect your vision and senses too quickly for you to enjoy your gambling session?.

It depends... If those animations are only present when the bonus mode is activated, I wouldn't mind looking away for a few seconds, but if it's always there, then it's a big "NO" for me and anyone else who also suffers from photophobia/light sensitivity.

Indeed, violent physical appearance and the violent sound effects are created to purposefully play around with the awareness of the psychology on the visitors to make them keep on gambling. To persons who are physically challenged, such over stimulation may actually be a significant disrupting factor to the comfort of the slot machine. It is believed that a betting room with fewer distractions is much more amenable to concentration, making rational decision.

I must say that I have seen the video, and I have survived and I think I would be capable of long sessions, but at the cost of extreme mental fatigue and probably at least temporary burn out side effects. This is like slots on steroids. And thanks that I don't understand Japanese or Korean or the language that appears in the display, because adding semantic load to all that sensory information must be even more exhausting.

I've heard about this game for a long time, and while that level of user agitation that it takes advantage of shouldn't be anything new, it seems that they've refined the design to levels beyond what is reasonably healthy.

[Myleschetty]

Safety and buzz control should always be the top priorities when it comes to gambling, which I believe is the game you narrated. I hate some portion of the game characteristics added to the game that help induce dopamine in gamblers, despite gambling always naturally inducing dopamine in gamblers.
So, I will never play this type of gambling if I am not totally sure I can escape the side effects of it.

I liked the concept of those machines very much. They look fun and exciting. I wouldn't have any issues playing on them for a while. Anyway, all the colours, lights and flashes aren't enough to make me lose my mind, because I'm still aware I can't expect anything from a gambling game. It's nice to imagine all those shining effects are directly associated to making profit, but in fact, we know that isn't going to happen for real...

After all, the true nature of gambling by itself already removes a lot of the excitement contained in the game at first glance.

[Findingnemo]

Too flashy is Nah for me, I don't even turn up the volume at all just to keep the session to minimal and even if I did I couldn't go on for more than 5 or 10 minutes because it is kind of annoying when we do it an isolated place like where I play. Maybe Asians love that culture and I bet it is more crowded place that is the difference that they need to use more flashy lights for wins and such to keep it engaging.

I wanted to know your opinion about it...

I didn't find anything particularly odd about the design, it was fine by me. Perhaps this is more a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer the simple design typically found in slots from popular providers, but others prefer this design because it makes the game more exciting. However, since I'm used to playing slots from popular providers, I prefer them, not because of the design, but because I'm more familiar with them.

The only Asian slots I like are the Konami slots as I grew up playing their games in every gaming machine I had as a kid from NES-Nintento Entertainment System until Playstation 4 where I got married and stopped playing video games. What I have seen they make different, much different and better than the European/American providers is they truly power up the machine when you have to win money, it happens a lot of times, I have seen some videos where the slot machine would give you up to 1833 free spins which is enormous number of spins, we have not any such type of providers here in Europe, they lie to us with 5 to 40 free spins max by default and sometime in some games we are very happy when we reach like 100 or more free spins while providers like Konami make it well over 1000 spins easy to get.

I have seen the video and I managed to survive watching it until the end, and in my opinion, the animation is too crowded, there are also many different colors with high lighting, personally this makes me uncomfortable, I don't think I will be able to last long with a casino like that.
 
But even that is a natural thing too in my opinion, because usually casinos will develop their casinos to attract a lot of people and that is one way by making animations that look attractive to some people because I think we have different tastes so there are those who like animations like that and those who do not.

[Julien_Olynpic]

This animation is a bit childish or aimed at teenagers. However, it has its place, and if people like it, who are we to judge it? In general, I'm a fan of bright animation and vibrant colors. People seek to escape the dreary, gray reality and give their eyes a little vitamin boost. For some, it's comparable to depression treatment. You know, there's a term called art therapy. It's treatment through visual art. Gambling has spontaneously developed a style of vibrant colors. If no one liked that, all casino animation would be black and white.

Maybe you are right anyways, because the way a thing is done from region to region may differ, what appears to be a no no in my region may likely be a tradition in another region and that is completely understandable because in as much as humans being are all one species, we are still different in mentality and way of life.

And lets not forget that most Asians are used to glasses, I've never been to any Asian country before but from their movies I use to watch from time to time, it usually leaves me with the impression that majority in that continent are used to wearing glasses.
And for those who wear glasses, the flashy lights may or might not appear as a problem at all.
But for those who do not wear glasses, maybe there is a way to turn the flashy lights off or maybe bypass they stage of the game to a stage where the lights are more comfortable to the eyes.

The video isn't available anymore so I can't see the flashing lights. But playing on the slot that have flashing lights will makes my eyes tired quickly. I don't want to stick to the machine longer and I need to rest my eyes.

I prefer to play slot machine that I already used. That will be better for me as I can stay at my monitor for a while and not feels tired, also I feels difficult to enjoy the game.

I would like to include a Flashing lights warning to the following video, because I would not like to harm anyone with it.

I play this pachinko machine before but I don’t understand how the gameplay works since there’s so many happening in there including lots of lights flashing.

There’s a game provider for this type of pachinko machine that let you play a physical pachinko machine virtually through remote. I saw this game provider on BC.Game but I honestly don’t enjoy it because there’s a delay on controls and so hard to win anything.

That's happened to me—I wanted to watch it, but it's no longer available.

Same here. Not too keen on flashing lights and also, I don't know if that's a way to keep people hooked, assuming they can handle the flashing lights. Knowing that slot machines are the games that have been most thoroughly studied and psychologically engineered to keep people clicking nonstop, I'm skeptical.

[lodocus]

While flashing lights and this kind of over-the-top decoration may seem excessive and unbearable to some people, others might find them highly entertaining. Everyone has a different tolerance level for such things, so we have options.

Those who prefer to keep things simple and enjoy a more understated experience can try their luck at online casinos, while if you’re in the mood, you can hop on the first flight to another country and experience the glitzy casino scene. I couldn’t get the video to play either, but I can pretty much guess what’s going on.

Isnt that animation too much for a regular games in slots? If this isnt a bonus and rare animation, and that happens frequently, then I think people will get tired quicker. I havent played such slot machine, but I think after 30minutes of such a gameplay, my eyes will start to hurt and I will start rubbing them. Maybe it is done on purpose to make me make mistake in betting. Nevertheless this pachinko machine does not look like a slot machine for calm entertainment. It boosts persons energy, "infect" a person with wish to go and continue gambling.

This is also what I thought initially, it could have been addressed to younger generations and so it's not for everyone to enjoy or even try as it could really be a eye sore. We older generation still prefer minimalist style of slot machines.

Heck, we can even enjoy those old games that I used to play when I started to play on land base casinos. But I guess as time goes by, operators will have to find a way to make the younger generation appreciate slot games so they design it to cater for them.

I think I will like this even though I'm not that into slots or these casino machines. Well, we have differences on taste and being a minimalist will likely distract you with these kind of lights and animations but as I've said it's about individual preferences. It's like saying I'd like sports betting but the other guy hates it and they're more on casino type of games.
