What is Right Shooting or Left Shooting?
1. Right Shooting（Migiuchi）
Right shooting is a technique where you aim and fire the pachinko balls towards the right side of the machine, typically targeting a specific part of the machine designed for righted play. Many modern pachinko machines have a right-side section where important game events, such as big wins or special features, occur.
- Features of Right Shooting: In many machines, using the right side of the game can trigger special events like ST (Special Time or continuous play) or Jackpot Mode. When you switch to right shooting, it can lead to higher chances of a continuous payout (often called a “re-spin” or “winning round”). This is why many players switch to right shooting when they enter a “winning” phase.
2. Left Shooting（Hidariuchi）
Left shooting is the opposite of right shooting. In this case, the balls are aimed and fired towards the left side of the machine. Left shooting is typically used during the normal play phase, before triggering big wins or entering special modes like the Jackpot.
- Features of Left Shooting: Left shooting is generally used when the machine is in its standard mode. It’s also easier for players to control the speed of the balls when shooting from the left side, and some machines have zones or stages that activate based on left shooting.
How to Use Right and Left Shooting
- Left Shooting is mostly used during the normal or preparation phase of the game. Players can shoot balls with moderate speed, which can help with controlling the game.
- Right Shooting is typically used when the player activates special features or enters Jackpot mode. Right shooting often offers better chances for big rewards or faster payouts due to the design of the machine.
In summary, right and left shooting in pachinko are methods used to interact with different parts of the machine depending on the game’s progression. Left shooting is used during regular play, while right shooting is activated when you enter special modes or when you need to maximize payouts. Each machine may have specific instructions on when and how to switch between these two methods, so it’s always good to follow the game’s cues.
