This is between =gambling and =adult_gaming_center, two established tags that both claim to be the proper way to map a Pachinko parlor. A Pachinko machine is a type of "gaming machine" in the gambling sense, like a slot machine. It is not an arcade game, like pac-man, though it uses steel balls like pinball. Pachinko is a luck-based machine, not skil-based like pac-man or pinball.

Arcades are full of skill games (for the most part), and full of kids and teens playing Street Fighter, Galaga, claw machines, and such. 

Pachinko Parlors are full of grandpas gambling away their afternoons the nickel machines (5yen Pachinko or slot machines).
