I’M Really Helpless In Tokyo

"Dear guests, in order to celebrate our new "Ghost Slayer Fist Hundred Yuan Super Exciting Reward" machine, we will release a large number of limited prizes such as the MAXBTENGA co-branded actress exclusive thermos cup and the golden unicorn Gundam in the early hours of this morning. The Nissan r-r40 is an ultra-limited hidden prize. The above prizes only support new models, don’t miss it..."

"What, the limited edition thermos cup, Gundam, these slightly tempting prizes...GTR-R40? Isn't that the modified God of War that I dream of..."

The female electronic synthesizer's hard-working slogan stopped Sosuke Araki.

"Ahem, I haven't seen TAXI anyway..."

A few taxis passing in front of him were directly mosaicked in his sight, he looked around for a moment, and staggered into the door of the pachinko shop.

"It is rare that it is the king of fortune and the lucky star. There is no need to waste it. Just have a little time to sober up... Maybe give it a try, the small steel ball has become GTR?"

"Welcome, I hope you will be lucky in our shop... Have a good time... Win your favorite prize..."

After he entered the store, the female electronic voice at the door, who was trying to attract customers, quieted down for some reason.

...

Thirty minutes later.

"Nine type, water droplets! 』

"Oh ha ha ha, there is another big prize crit, come again and come again..."

Sitting in front of the latest and most expensive "Fist of Demon Slayer" linkage platform, the drunk Sosuke Araki was immersed in the spin of the world brought about by drunken fermentation, and frantically clicked the "launch button" with his fingers with cigarettes in it. .

Regardless of the variety of themes, mechanisms, and game content, such game machines like Pachinko, in the final analysis, only need to control the direction and press the launch button, not to mention the drunken Araki Sosuke, even Professor Huo in a wheelchair. Can also play.

"Wu Zhixing, the kind rain of the dry sky!" 』

On the screen, the character known as the "Knife Throwing Knife" is entering the hole with the rate of fire of 160 small steel balls gushing out like flowing water per minute, cutting out various cool characters representing the "winning level". The moves will kill all kinds of "ghosts" that are constantly appearing on the spot.

"In half an hour, I won points equal to about 500,000 yen. Let alone the limited edition tenga and Gundam, even the hidden prize GTR might have opened the door to me..."

The point balance shows the continuously beating number in the box, maintaining a crazy upward trend.

"Wow hahaha, I am worthy of me, I am worthy of being, the pachinko mad lion of the king of fortune this month and the lucky star of Mu Yao, Zongsuke Araki! Humhhhhhhhhhhh..."

Araki Zongsuke, who only felt that his life was at the top of his life, hummed the song in excitement, and didn't mean to accept it at all.

"One type, water surface slash! 』

"Asshole, asshole, it's not in this way?!"

However, it didn't take long for Sosuke Araki's "kingdom fortune", it seemed that he encountered a small setback.

"One type, water surface slash! 』

No matter how he "precisely enters the hole", the characters on the screen will only use ordinary moves that represent the last prize.

"One type, water surface slash! 』

The points representing money are decreasing like flowing water with the launch of a series of small steel balls, but the gains are very small.

"Hmph, it must be because I didn't shoot accurately enough, it's time to get some real skills..."

Unwilling to sit up straight, Araki Sosuke put his face on the screen, carefully adjusted the launch angle and manipulated the mechanism on one side.

"Winning is not accidental. Winners are always preparing to win. On the road to winning, if you can't find the power to win, losing is a matter of course. Winning this thing is born out of specific behavior!"

Although the entry of the steel ball into the hole can be achieved by the player through a series of operations, the entry of the hole only represents a chance to draw a lottery. The specific prizes are determined by the machine according to the probability.

"Hey, there must be something wrong with this expensive dying machine, otherwise my kingly fortune... Damn it, the new machine can't find the historical winning probability on the APP, just try another machine..."

Just when Sosuke Araki drew out the card and was about to get up and leave, a special game animation suddenly appeared on the screen of that machine.

"Oh? Hidden BOSS has appeared. Is this a "trailer"? Isn't the big prize right in front of you?"

In the screen demonstration of the electronic pachinko machine, some suggestive clues will be provided through changes in the characters, action lines, background, etc., to feed back the current "expected value" of the machine, which is called a "forecast."

"Hey, sure enough, it's exactly the same as what was said on the forum..."

As an experienced pachinko player, Sosuke Araki will naturally not let go of the "trailer" in front of him, and leaned to the screen with a blushing face, and carefully compared it with the information on the forum. Bumpingly inserted the card back into the machine...

"One type, water surface slash! 』

"Asshole, the trailer animation of the'Super-Limited Hidden Prize' in the information has been shown in turns. Why doesn't it give out the big prize?!"

The "Demon Slayer Fist Hundred Yen Super Exciting Reward" machine in front of Sosuke Araki, as the name suggests, costs 100 Yen.

This means that compared with the ordinary machine with a small steel ball price of 4 yen, the leverage effect of winning or losing is directly magnified by 25 times.

"One type, water surface slash! 』

Unknowingly, Araki Sosuke not only squandered the 500,000 yen points he earned, but even the original 100,000 yen principal was also gradually returned to zero under the slash of the characters on the screen.

"Something's wrong, a normal machine can't be the probability of winning..."

If it was normal, he might have left with a sigh.

"The little prizes just now must be ‘foreground’. The big prizes are likely to appear in the next second at any time. Maybe as soon as I leave, the next guy who sits up will drive away GTR..."

But at this moment, under the temptation of alcohol, the "sufficient" balance in the bank card, and the temptation to win a lottery at any time...

"That said, it's not rubbish because you lose, it's rubbish if you don't pursue the possibility!"

He got up drunk, took out his bank card, and walked towards the 24H automatic top-up machine.

...

Three hours later.

"Hiccup... bastard, show me out..."

"The second type, the waterwheel! 』

"A little prize again?!"

Araki Sosuke, who squinted his eyes and looked unlovable, was squinting his dim eyes, mechanically pressing the firing button at his hand, as if Pachin was deeply poisoning the player.

"The shape of the three, the flow dances! 』

"Oh, it's over again..."

The number box showing the balance of the points becomes "0" again under the "Flat A" of "Knock-throwing Demon".

This situation, I don't know how many times it has been staged tonight, so that he has become numb.
