My ill-informed view is that much of the skill part of the equation is finding the right machine in the hall, as they have different settings and thus different winning probabilities. It's an exploration-exploitation problem.
- eloisant 4y agoYes, that's the correct explaination. Also note that in the early days of Pachinko, the manager would give a few hammer hits on the side of the nails of the machines to change their orientation slightly every night, so a machine that was winning a lot yesterday might not win a lot today. Nowadays they're electronically controlled and the nail position change automatically to vary the winning probability in a very controlled way.
