Gambling On The Bank

GAMBLING ON THE BANK

An ATM where players can gamble, too!

Japanese banks have introduced an innovative idea that could catch on - Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) fitted with slot games.

Starting this month, Ogaki Kyoritsu Bank will introduce slot games in ATMs to attract clients, and give them a chance to win back bank fees or cash. Bank officials say they hope the new ATMs, reportedly the first of their kind in Japan, will give customers a sense of "excitement."

Here's how it works. Once customers have withdrawn money, the numbers on the slot game automatically begin spinning. When a triple seven or the "gold" or "super gold" pictures appear together, the 105-yen after-hours bank charge is reversed.

And when pictures line up on the slot game, the customer also wins 1,000 yen cash, which can be received from the bank counter at a later date. The chance of getting three sevens is about one in 10, while customers have about a one-in-500 chance of the pictures lining up.

The service will begin at 10 branches in Gifu and Aichi prefectures, but it will spread to 135 branches across Gifu, Aichi, Mie and Shiga prefectures by Aug. 12.
