Smoking in the arcades suck!!!. Hate it then and hate it now. I was there last november. I couldn't take the smoke, especially when you see people smoking in those Gundam pods. The other great thing about arcades in Japan is the toilets are super clean. So if you are visiting and need a place to go, head over there.
I have a slot machine and a candy straight from Japanese operators. The slot machine never got that much play and doesn't have one cigarette burn. Even in it's built in ashtray!!! Yes, it has a good sized built in ashtray. lol
A few of the pachinko's/slots i've owned have covers over the ash tray that say no smoking, so most likely yours had one as well. I'm assuming they came from non smoking sections of the parlors.
