[Tagging] Amenity=Gambling & adult_gaming_center tagging conflict

[John Willis]

While Tagging Pachinko parlors in Japan, I came across a wiki documentation conflict. 

2 different tags say that they are the proper ones to use when tagging pachinko parlors:


Amenity=gambling wiki page says:

> A place for gambling, not being a bookmaker, lottery shop, casino, or adult gaming centre.  Games that are covered by this definition include bingo and pachinko.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dgambling <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity=gambling>



Amenity=adult_gaming_centre says:

> This tag is used for venues with gambling machines, such as slot machines.

> Examples: 	• Pachinko Parlors (Japan)


https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dadult_gaming_centre <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure=adult_gaming_centre>


Can someone who knows better clean up this mess? 

IMO, a bingo hall and Pachinko parlor are totally different. “Adult Gaming Center” seems to be the correct tag.
A Pachinko machine is basically a slot machine. But Amenity=gambling might be the de-facto in-use tag already. I don’t know.  


Also, how do you specify which games are offered? gambling=pachinko is in the wiki, but what about adult_gaming_centre? is gambling=* the default way to define what games are offered at such facilities? that seems to be vague or missing. 

gambling=pachinko has 560 uses (all in Japan)

there are several times more pachinko parlors in Japan, but many have been mapped with this tag.
