Tiny 'Arcade' Set Up in Tokyo Train Station

To show how digital payments work on arcade games, the folks at Taito set up a teeny, temporary game center w69 slot ทาง เข้า​ at Akihabara Station in Tokyo. Digital money payments are not new at Japanese arcades. Over ten years ago, you could use mobile phones to make e-money payments to play arcade games at, for example, Sega’s Joypolis.
