0:00Gambling is illegal in Japan. Yet,
0:02there's a gambling hall on almost every
0:03street. Inside, thousands of machines
0:06are flashing and screaming while people
0:08carry out buckets full of steel balls.
0:10Police stroll right past the door, but
0:12nobody ever gets arrested. So, you win a
0:14bucket yourself and try to cash it in.
0:16But, the counter won't give you a single
0:18yen. Instead, you can pick cookies,
0:20chocolate, a bottle of shampoo, or a few
0:22tiny plastic tokens. The guy in front of
0:24you takes the tokens and heads straight
0:26outside. You follow him around the
0:27corner to a little window in a wall with
0:29no sign. You see, that isn't part of the
0:32gambling hall. It's technically a
0:33separate shop that just [music] happens
0:35to buy those exact tokens. So, the hall
0:37only ever gives out prizes and the shop
0:39is just buying one. He slides the tokens
0:41through, a hand slides over cash, and on
0:43paper, nobody gambled.
