    Default A Picture is worth a thousand words?

    Previously I had started a thread about some of the indicators on the Lord of the Rings Pachinko.
    I didn't make much progress and I am still trying to figure out some of these indicators.
    Please refer to the photo I put together below and then respond if you have any knowledge or ideas about these indicators.



    Figure A:
    Well it looks like a ring and perhaps a sword? They do light up but I really don't know what these do if anything beside light up from time to time.

    Figure B:
    We think we have the "rings" figured out. We think they indicate accumalated spins. However, I have noticed that those rings don't seem to match the "eyes" that are displayed in the High Res LCD. Further, when I drop a ball directly into the machine I get an extra eye but not an extra lit up ring here... OH THE MYSTERIES ABOUND!

    Figure C:
    Ah, the never changing double zero "00" ring. In the bottom right of my LCD you can see a GOLD ring with "00" indicated on the RING as shown in figure C. Have any of you ever seen anything but a "00" on that ring? Not me... Do tell???

    A - this is the old "sub roulette" spin bank ( see my earlier star wars thread ).. there should be a 'gate' on the playfield ( usually with 'GO' written on it ) when a ball passes though it you will see the O and X start to flash alternately. This gives a small chance of the flippers either side of the start pocket opening for a fraction of a second during normal play ( you can usually bank 4 roulette spins )

    B - this is your bank of regular spins ( again usually 4 ) from landing in the start pockets

    C- looks like your counter in the bonus spin rounds ( sometimes after a fever round you will be granted a 100 bonus spins - chances of a second fever are higher during this period, and also usually landing a ball in the 'GO' gate during this time makes the flippers open more / longer increasing your wins of more balls

    Havent actually played LOTR, but assuming it works the same way as Star wars.....

    Cheers

    Cheers for post SChaos, and thanks for the info Bigasquatch. I have LOTR and been meaning to put some pics up. If I was you, I'd adjust the pin above the pocket in pic B - mine was altered by the palour too (made it impossible to score). Gives you something else to go for.

    Actually, looking at the pic again, you should still score. Mine had the pin beneath bent!

    Since you have LOTR too.. Have you seen that ring indicate anything but 00???

    I have reached fever many times... and I have enetered a 100 chance countdown where an indicator appears in the Top Right of my LCD.
    BUT... NEVER have I seen any number but 00 on that ring...

    If it weren't for Pachitalk ... where could you ever find out about such things....

    Thank you all very much. Least we forget David and the Mods though. I'm just the front guy with the big mouth and the penchant for hacks...

    Oh we haven't forgotten David and the mods, not at all! to them as well! But you're the big Kahuna with the red button, he who should be feared.

    Really, your latest hack is one of your best!

    I'm speaking of the multi-post combination. That is great!

    For those who haven't noticed...if you reply to more than one person sequentially in a single thread, the hack combines the replies into a single post. I really like that! Thank you boss!

    That was one of my unanounced hacks, just curious to see who would find it first. Actually what it does, is edits your existing post in case you forgot to. You have 30 minutes after making a post/reply to edit it. During this time span if you are the next person to post after yourself, it will combine the two or three or sixteen regardless. After the 30 minute window, it will treat your post/reply as a normal post/reply.

    So if you have an after thought and it's possible to edit your existing post/reply, please do or the system will do it for you.

    Arby, if I could perform that hack, my thermometer wouldn't say 22 on it.
