I'm a bit confused by the price display in a sushi restaurant video, see
<https://youtu.be/V1g0yIBTDjQ?t=608>

Do I misread the number or is this a joke (the video has an unusual cut
there)?

It shows the price as 1500万0000円, which I would read as 15,000,000円,
approximately 150,000.00$ (with exchange rate 100 yen = 1 dollar). Does 万 have
another meaning differing from ten-thousand here?

What does 1500万0000円 mean on a price display?
You have read it correctly. 1485万0000円 is indeed 14,850,000 yen, which is way
above the average annual income of Japanese people. 万, 億, 兆 and so on can be
inserted to help readers quickly grasp the number. (See:
<https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/18296/5010>)

This restaurant is くら寿司, and you can [play various mini-
games](http://www.kura-corpo.co.jp/fair/2015bikkurapon.html) using their touch
panels, including something like a slot machine. See [this
video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doNXSTGTpE8). I may be wrong, but this
1485万 may be from one of such games. Or it may be from something entirely
different. Either way, it's not the actual charge.
