Medal Game System

🎰 Game Meaning & System

The virtual currency system used in Japanese game centers. Worshippers purchase reusable steel tokens ('Medaru') at automated lobby kiosks, play massive mechanical coin-pusher games, and store won tokens inside dynamic biometrics bank accounts.

📜 Cultural Origins

Under legal acts, arcade game tokens can never be converted into cash or real prizes. To maximize retention, arcs developed luxurious, immersive pusher machines and electronic token bank accounts that keep tokens secure for years.

🚨 How to Play & Taboos

1. Locate the 'Medal Kiosk', insert yen bills, and collect a plastic cup of metal tokens. 2. Enjoy pusher or horse racing games. 3. Settle leftovers by inserting tokens into the 'Medal Bank' machine, registering your palm-vein biometrics.

余ったメダルはメダルバンクに預けておけば、次回手ぶらで来ても引き出して遊べますよ。 / ゲームセンターのメダルは換金できませんので注意してくださいね。

🔊 If you store your excess tokens in the medal bank, you can pull them out and play even if you come empty-handed next time. / Keep in mind that arcade tokens can never be exchanged for cash.
