Shouさん。こんにちは。日本では公営ギャンブル以外は違法です。でもお金以外を賭けるのは合法です。なのでパチンコ屋は景品(お菓子たばこ)を渡します。でも景品では客が来ません。なのでパチンコ店の外に景品交換所を作りそこでお金に換えます。警察もパチンコ店を取り締まると闇賭博にパチンコ業者が変わると治安が悪くなるのでその抜け道(loophole)を見逃してます。

Hello!Gambling with money is illegal. So if exchanging money are inside of pachinko shop,it's considered that pachinko shop directly exchange money and it's illegal. So they built exchanging place outside of shop and exchanging shop owner are not pachinko shop owner.But pachinko shop hire exchanging shop owner.In that case,pachinko owner operate legal gambling business while exchanging shop owner operate a trading business.Both owner have nothing to do with illegal gambling but customer enjoy gambling.

Your story is very interesting and informative. However, I can't understand pachinko business is a 'loophole'. Would you explain a little more?
