Pachislot Story: I Won’t Let Them Rip Me Off

Grandad, Mum and three kids. Despite being the head of the household, I’m on a meagre wage and feel like an outcast. It’s my birthday today, yet nobody’s even remembered. The dried sardines on my dinner plate just glare at me… Then, a strange bloke turned up at my house, carrying a tattered sack and shouldering a neon-lit pachislot machine. He preached: ‘If you want family harmony, play the slot machines.’ After undergoing intensive training from him, I showered my family with the money I’d earned and was instantly promoted to the family’s breadwinner! But my joy was short-lived: my greedy family started frequenting the slot parlours, and our debts swelled to the point of bursting…!
