Pachinko is a game that is somewhat similar to pinball machines in the United States. In Japan, Pachinko machines are used as gaming devices in Pachinko parlors, where people play to win prizes or money. We are THRILLED and honored that in Japan Pachinko had reached the #1 position in Top Games and #5 in Top Applications! The original machines were totally mechanical. Our game emulates the early mechanical models. A bit of skill is involved to launch the ball to certain areas of the machine, but it also takes some luck to get the ball in a “wing” or “drop bucket” to receive a jackpot of balls from the bank. For more information check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachinko On-Core Pachinko Features - Classic Pachinko emulates the original mechanical Japanese machines from the 70’s and on. - There are modes that control the starting number of balls, jackpots, and number of balls required to win the game. - High Scores when playing in unlimited mode (Limited Balls = NO). How to Play To play, move the lever downwards by swiping your finger over the lower section of the game from top to bottom and then lifting your finger to release the lever. How far down you pull the lever will determine how much force is used to launch the ball. The balls are launched up through the chute on the left and fall down from the top. You hit a jackpot when your ball falls into a “wing”, “drop bucket” or the center section of the game. The bank pays you with additional balls. When a ball enters a wing or the center section of the game, one or more wings will open. Wide open wings provide a much greater chance of a ball getting in to hit a jackpot. When you get a ball in the center where the surfer is, not only will you earn more balls, one, two or all four of the wings will open depending upon where the ball hits the wave. Experiment with pulling the lever down different distances to learn how you can control the area into which the balls drop. Some users have reported that initially found the game a bit hard. We suggest that you go into the Settings and raise the "Balls to Start" and "Ball Per Award" to higher numbers.

The clearest difference is rating: Pachinko at 4.9 against Roulette Strategy Simulator's 3.9. Pachinko also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and iOS requirement (6.1 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Pachinko costs $0.99 and Roulette Strategy Simulator $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pachinko holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Pachinko's written reviews are positive against 80% of Roulette Strategy Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
