About

Pachinko Paradise 3 is the third title in Irem's long-running pachinko simulation series. It features reproductions of three pachinko machines made by Sanyo Bussan: CR Wan Wan Paradise SK, CR Wan Wan Paradise SE, and CR Wan Wan Paradise S5. There are two modes available: Tsūjō (Normal) mode allows the player to modify a wide range of settings for each machine, while Jissen (Battle) mode challenges the player to win as many balls as possible on the default settings with a limited starting pool and time limit. There is also a View mode where the various animations that play on the in-game display can be freely viewed. There is no story mode.
