are a type of game commonly found in arcades, especially within Japan. In order to play a medal game a customer must first exchange their cash into medals (metal coins, much like an arcade token). The rate of medals versus cash varies from arcade to arcade, but usually the cheapest range is from ¥300 all the way up to ¥10,000. While many of the medal games simulate gambling, the medals cannot be traded back in for any prizes or cash, so there is no chance to make back any of the money that has been traded into medals, only the chance to play more games with won medals. There are many types of medal games, but the two main ones are the gambling type and the pusher game type. == Gambling type == The gambling type of medal games has two types of games, those that simulate a Las Vegas style casino (Electronic/Mechanical roulette tables, video poker, video blackjack, slot machines, are all very common). The other type is video horse racing. These are often set up in a quite lavish lounge set up, each player has a personal screen, with a usually padded chair, an ashtray and cup holders. All of these personal seats are in front of a very large screen displaying the virtual horse race. In the Philippines, video horse racing is also known as "video karera." These games are often raided by police as some proprietors try to evade taxes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「medal game」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
