There are pachinko parlors and game centers. To my knowledge, gambling is illegal in Japan. However you can win prizes at pachinko then trade them for cash. This is the way Japanese law works which often confounds foreigners. It is like the prostitution law which forbades the selling of sex. However if you purchase a massage and just happen to have sex with the masseuse, that is not particularly legal but at the same time not illegal.
Of course this stuff I have only heard, I have no first hand knowledge of such things.
