I went and play it myself. Had to ask the clerk, who didn't know a jabber of English but she managed to teach the basics.
This may seem a lot to know, but it's pretty simple.
You provide 100 yen coins which give you a certain amount of GP. Select your starter, same ones as in the browser. The machine will print you a card with the starter and direct you to put it in the card slot, and you're set.
You pay GP to play a map, let's say 1-1.
While playing, you have access to a wheel rudder, which of course determines your direction, and a speed lever that goes from 1/4 to full speed. On the game, you have a map that points you to the boss under fog of war, and enemy fleets will try to intercept you.
During battle, you use the controls to maneuver the fleet, speed up or slow down as required. You'll see circles appear on the sea that get gradually bigger, this is the enemy's shot. Get out of the circle before it becomes completely full, or you'll be hit. You also have plenty of indication when the enemy tosses torpedoes at you, so dodge as required.
To attack, you have just one button to fire. Wait for the reticle to reach the most inner circle and then fire, this ensures a shelling critical hit. You can also switch between weapons:
- to use torpedoes, you tap on the screen to select them, then tap on the game window to point a trajectory. Give some headstart for the direction the enemy is going, and fire.
- to use secondaries, just select them and mash on the button as you please. You need to be close for this.
You have a set amount of time to defeat the boss. If you fail, you can go into night battle. Timer is really short in yasen so better not miss.
Should also be noted that you have formations as well, but they differ in the sense that you have to actually position yourself instead of just "Use this formation" like the browser. Crossing the enemy's T by sailing in front of them while full broadside is the most desirable one, for obvious reasons.
Once you sink the boss, you have the option to pay an additional 100 yen to get a drop (the game doesn't tell you what it is until you've paid). The machine will print a card with the ship you got, and you can then include that in the card slot too.

To save progress, you need an account on some webservice that you sign into your phone. Then you just point the phone at the machine with the app open and it will pick up from where you left off. This is conjecture on my part since I never got that far, but I did see nip players pointing their phone at the machine and then whipping out a card box with all their rares and insert and remove ships as they required.
