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.

In the UK slot machines and arcade games are usually in the same space and are known as amusement arcades.
