[00:00:00]This is gambling in America.

[00:00:01]>> And fun fact, it's actually illegal to gamble in Japan. So instead they play gotcha. Okay, let's go check it out.

[00:00:06]>> And when I walked downstairs there was tons of gotcha machines. The goal is to get a key and then I can get a prize.

[00:00:11]>> And the prizes were actually really cool like this really unique Labubu. The first one I was in. So I put my hard working money into the machine in hopes to get a key so that I can win a cool prize. But instead this happened.

[00:00:21]Ah, 18. We're not quitters. We're going to try again. And when I say try again I mean a lot more times. And as I kept losing and losing this just made me want to play more until I won a key. And yeah, I was getting upset. And while doing this I think I realized that I have a slight gambling addiction. Can I Venmo you? Yeah, I lost all my money so my friend JRE tried to play and he lost as well.

[00:00:39]>> just spent over 50,000 yen. Bro. Do not gamble. And then this local Japanese guy won his first try.

[00:00:45]>> No you did not.

[00:00:46]>> Yeah, I couldn't believe it. He actually won a key.

[00:00:48]And I'm not going to lie, I was very jealous. Are you serious?

[00:00:52]And then he claimed his prize.

[00:00:55]Yeah, this low-key made me mad but I guess that's why you shouldn't gamble.
