    Default My Newest Pachinko

    I've fallen off the wagon and bought another pachinko, lucky for me this one is small and won't take up much room and it was cheap. Less than $2.00 with tax.
    Picked it up at the Japanese Dollar store. They also had a pool table and golf hole to go along with my Mini Pachinko but alas no Mini Pachislo.

    Review:
    Pros:
    Fits in your Pocket
    Fits on your Desk
    No Electricty Needed
    Easy to assemble (2 Feet)
    Cheap ($1.50 +tx)
    4 Balls, no need to lug tons of balls for the Fever round
    Wife laughed and said she won't count it against my quota

    Cons:
    No Video, will appeal more to the old school players
    No Fever round so 4 balls is about all you need
    Feet need glued on (glue not included)
    Packaging, Needs more padding if you are going to ship it.

    That's cool, would it be considered parlor or cyclic?

    I would consider it parlor, since you have to dump the balls out to play another round. With a little bit of wood working skills it could be converted to cyclic.

    No speakers so no volume pot is needed.

    Very nice.

    Ironically, that's the closest to a first generation pachinko machine without invading into the pinball category.

    should I build you a cabinet for it? Are you sure that isn't the japan tribute to TPIR's Plinko? I can't read the package.
