Main Characters[]
Gameplay[]
Players start the game by buying a number of pachinko balls which they will load into the machine, and as events, challenges, bonuses, and other minigames pop up, the player needs to turn the handle in hopes of directing the balls dropping down from the top of the machine towards the left side of the screen. For every ball that manages to fall into the start checker at the bottom, players are allowed a handful of balls or a spin of a reel like a virtual slot machine, the latter of which is denoted by digits appearing on the screen that are sometimes accompanied by sprites of the main characters. At times the player may need to direct the balls either to the right or left side of the screen as indicated in the display, or press the lever button according to the presented instructions, and upon lottery can get a 1/199.8 chance of success (1/99.9 for Easygoing 99).
The game cycle starts off with the player selecting one of the members from Kazuma's party as the "Favourite Character", before attempting to proceed into phases where rates of success and reward return are higher.
- Regular Play: During regular play where normal footages from the television series are scrolled, as the player tries to get as many balls as possible into the start checker, lottery reserves as many as four can be saved as reserve lights taking the form of the four hiragana of "KonoSuba" light up.
- KonoSuba Zone: In this initial win phase dubbed God's Blessings on This Big Win, which doubles as the first half of the "Special Time", the player needs to divert the balls down the right side of the screen into the attacker slots in order to light up the four hiragana of the KonoSuba title within a certain time period, and success will allow the player to enter the "KonoSuba Rush". It is also in this phase when secondary characters accompanying the "Favourite Character" can be selected, and will result in a variety of footages and activities.
- KonoSuba Rush: After selecting the accompanying character for the second half of the "Special Time", the player continues diverted balls towards the attacker slots with possible variations depending on the instructions displayed, while bonus challenges requiring the repeated pressing of the lever button may pop up, and continued success may allow the player to proceed even further, otherwise the session will drop back down to the regular play.
- Blessings Rush: The phase where the "Lucky Trigger" occurs, the player will be presented with more difficult instructions and challenges with a lower chance of success, and may either be rewarded with stupendous winnings or kicked back down to the "KonoSuba Rush" phase.
The features of this game contain multiple elements from the anime.
- Reach: While waiting for the virtual reel to stop spinning, activities and minigames may play out on the display.
- Quest: Generally starts out with Kazuma being pressured by his party members into taking quests. Should he agree to do so, he may take ones against Giant Toads, Cabbages, Brutal Alligators, Undead Knights followed by Beldia, the Winter Shogun, Cursed Dolls , the enchanted choker, or a special one requested by Luna against the Destroyer, all of which go through a virtual reel roll with varying chances of success.
- Radio: The "Favourite Character" may become the DJ of a radio show, and will have to answer quizzes about the anime series.
- Challenge: One of the characters have to overcome a challenge presented to them, such as Kazuma needing to Steal, him having to protect the Newbie Succubus, Darkness being insulted, or Megumin needing to beat Yunyun at rock-paper-scissors.
- Mission: Missions in which the characters need to accomplish may appear, like Kazuma getting the construction foreman's acknowledgement, Aqua performing Nature's Beauty, Megumin posing, and Darkness receiving a foot massage

- Preview: In various stages of the game, preview videos may play on top of or in place of the normal footages during regular play, and may also signify new challenges as well as upcoming phases.
- Playing Preview: Footages from a diary about notable events, or characters simply walking over the other displays on the screen to interact with one another, may play out when the player is directing the dropping balls. Examples include Aqua playing tricks, Darkness awaiting detonations of Explosion Stones, the Ruffian commentating, fried cabbage or frogs as well as the Winter Shogun passing by, Eris prophesying, in addition to moves like Freeze and Tornado Flash.
