Kaiji Ito, having erased his debts through risky games, finds himself in debt again a year later. He gets a chance to clear his 200 million yen debt by taking on "The Swamp," a dangerous pachinko machine with a 1 billion yen payout. Controlled by the illegal Teiai casino, the machine's jackpot is rigged by Ichijo Seiya. Kaiji teams up with Ishida Hiromi, Kotaro Sakazaki, and Yukio Tonegawa, all with personal vendettas against Teiai, to take down "The Swamp," risking their lives in the process.

Terrible sequel, such a shame.
The entire charm of the first film was that Kaiji games the odds with his determination, wit, intellect, and kind-heartedness.They've taken all of that away for this sequel. It is bland, bleak, and tiresome. It isn't even a gambling movie with interesting games and challenges. It is the lead characters trying to pull off a heist and game a pachinko machine.
The climactic scene of the film is a drawn out 30+ minutes where the characters are continually saved by other characters throwing money at them because they just happened to have access to a loan card or had money in their pocket.
Super lame, super disappointing, and a huge letdown after the strength of the first film.
