In Japan, there are entire warehouses with slot machines that work without people (5 photos)

Imagine - a full hall of slot machines with claws, but not a single person inside. And all the claws turn on and move on their own!





Here they are in an empty warehouse without music and cleaning

The previous generation of Japanese were crazy about slot machines. The modern one loves to play online games. And for greater profit, these two phenomena were very unusually combined. And they installed slot machines with claws that can be controlled remotely from your phone. And the reward for catching them can also come to your phone. These slot machines are placed in remote warehouses, because traffic is not needed there. One of the largest of these "quiet gaming warehouses" in Saitama, it has 2500 square meters of machines. It fits 350 of them.

They are quiet because there is no cheerful music or announcements, only the buzzing of claws and the sound of winnings falling into the hole. The Japanese install an application called "Claws" and make a deposit into their account. The cost of participation varies depending on the prizes chosen on the site, and usually ranges from 150 yen to 220 yen per game.

They play through a drawn application, but at this time somewhere in the warehouse a randomly connected machine with a claw turns on. During the game, players actually press the arrow buttons and control a live machine. You can even get a real thing with such a claw and pay for delivery, then the thing you got will come to your home! These are young people and middle-aged people from 20 to 40 years old, and the machines are equally popular with guys and girls. It is believed that guys loved playing slot machines, but girls like online games just as much, so the "slot machines" have taken over the audience.



What they don't put in slot machines

People really like the feeling that you are getting real prizes, and more connection to real things. Moreover, in Japan there is a real law on how much any prize inside a slot machine should cost. Officially - no more than 1000 yen. Therefore, their value in the eyes of players is increased by unique prints, for example, covers with a design from their favorite pop idol. It seems like an inexpensive thing, but fans are ready to spend ten thousand on such a thing.
