Are these 3 pachislos a good choice?

[jweaver]

My "games room" is nearing completion, so its time to order my Pachislos.

Because I couldn't decide what I wanted, I decided to go for 3.

My criteria was

- An ELVision
- A "low tech"
- A High Tech, large colour display

So, my short list is now

- Planet 999 (Although I am still thinking of changing this to a Neo Zetz)
- King Camel
- Beast Sapp

However, I also like the look of 'Super Black Jack'.

The El-Vision decision worries me as whilst I like the look of the Planet 999, there is such little info about it, and apparantly very few owners.. So, I wonder whether I might get more support with the 'Neo Zetz'?

Other than that, are my choices good? Would I be better off swapping one of them for a 'Super Black Jack'?

To be honest, the "Beast Sapp" interests my the least, as I don't get the connection between "boxing" and "Slots" and I think that the 'Black Jack' would be more appropreate.. But I want the 'Beast Sapp' just because its impressive!


I look forwards to your comments.

All the best

to add to the confusion there you have 3 compleatly difrent pachies as you said
an el
one with 6 reels
and a large screen
the super black jack would be compleatly difrent again with a small screen monitor

[Bencrest]

Very similar to my choice,

Neo Pharaoh Zetz (EL Vision)
King Camel (6 reels)
Super BlackJack (Small LCD)

... as for the EL Vision stuff, in all honestly I can't see there being any mechanical differences (or no major ones anyway) between any Yamasa machines of that type, so go with whichever interests you the most

I was considering a Beast Sapp but decided against it at the moment - I might get a full LCD machine later on (Beast Sapp, Sinbad Adventure, that kind of thing).

Hi Bencrest.

Let me know how you get on with the new ones.. I did drop you a private mail on Fruit-Emu, asking your thoughts as I would be interested to know how much better/different the new machines are over the Neo Zetz!

Was convinced I replied, but to be sure I've just replied again

The 3 you listed are good. I would list these 3:

Neo Magic Pulsar
King Camel
Sinbad Adventure

[Eddie]

Neo Pharoah Zetz
King Camel
Sinbad Adventure or skip these posers all together and get THE HOLY TRINITY!!!!!!!!!

I have any idea... I am only buying Beast Sapp because of the large screen.. I just want it because its Hi-Tech.

At the same time as my Pachislos (to save on shipping) I am also buying my first Pachinko (Star Wars)

However, I have just been sent details of a pachinko machine which has a large LCD (like Beast Sapp) and wonder if this will fulfill my need for having one machine with a large screen.

If I went down this route, then I could change my Beast Sapp for a Super Black Jack.

What do you think?

Many user of this forum really like Super Blackjack. It is a good pachislo.

I would get a Sinbad Adventure over Beast Sapp. It is basicaly the same machine with a different theme. Same large LCD and all. I don't think it is hyped enough to be honest. You chain big bonus rounds one after another and this machine pays out a lot! Good thing it also has a huge hopper compared to some other machines.

Monkey Magic is another large screen Pachislo, it doesn't come up for sale very often. I love mine

[evh347]

Get the Super BlackJack. Out of the machines you've listed, it's by far the most fun machine out of all of them. The SBJ might have a smaller LED screen than most...but, those "wowwy" graphics on those 19" screens that sell you initially...are sure to get boring after awhile. And they have more Japanese speech then you can shake a stick at.

If you want EL...get either the Magic Pulsar or the Neo Zetz.

If you want a six reel machine...King Camel or Don Don King. The only reason I have not yet purchased a King Camel is because it is a "Type C" machine...therefore, no Big Bonus like all my other machines. The Don Don King was the least expensive machine to purchase out of all my Pachis and yet it's the most popular because of all the lights (attract mode).

[jweaver]

I must admit that I am swaying towards "Super Blackjack" over "Beast Sapp"... Whilst I really would like a large screen version, to compliment the rest.. I just can ignore the people who say such good things about Blackjack.

If anyone else has any other comments, I am interested to hear.. I am tittering on the edge right now.

My final line up with either be:

King Camel
Neo Zetz
Beast Sapp (I would go for a different large screen version, but boxing interests me more than the others (but not much))

or

King Camel
Neo Zetz
Super Black Jack.


What I need across the board is variety.. Good gameplay and impressive technology!!

My fingers are crossed that someone might say something which will sway me.

Cheers

King Camel - by all means. A really fun and unusual machine!
Neo Ztez - don't know, don't have one, so no comment.
Blackjack - I was convinced by the comments here, so I bought one. Awaiting delivery now!

I really enjoy Beast Sapp, but then again I'm a huge K-1, PrideFC fan. I just love Sapp Time, I'm always dancing to the music when that comes on.

I personally think that it's not quite so important if you're getting three machines. You're much less likely to get so bored so quick. SBJ is very well rated here, as is Sinbad (if you want the large screen). Beast Sapp does look impressive, but won't have the gameplay of the other two, but as you're thinking of getting two other machines with great gameplay, maybe you won't need to worry so much about that.

[Bencrest]

Super BlackJack is very good, but played seriously badly for me recently, about 2000 tokens in with only a Regular Bonus to show for it. About another 1000 tokens in and it went *mental*. Got a Big Bonus, followed by a Stock Time lasting 200 games, which gave me another Big Bonus, a Regular Bonus, and the Stock Time itself paid about 400 tokens. After the Stock Time it paid another Big Bonus and Regular Bonus. While it was very entertaining, it was also very frustrating with all the dead play.

I guess that leaves my favourite 'fun all the time' machine as Zetz. Yet to have a SERIOUS patch of dead play on it, it seems to be very much a 600 tokens in for a Bonus machine. King Camel is also playing very well, quite a lot of small bonuses through Camel Chance and Middle Bonus keep you interested.

I can't compare the dead play of Super BlackJack to anything like Beast Sapp though, obviously.

Mike,

Are you saying that Beast Sapp won't have as much gameplay as 'Sinbad'?

I understand that it won't have as much as Black Jack (or King Camel), but I was under the impression that Sinbad and Sapp were pretty much the same.

Am I missing something.. Is there more to Sinbad that I have overlooked?

Jon

[scooby_doo_m2002]

hmmmm, guess I need to step up on the machines. I'm happy with my plain jane '92 street cats. When I hit the bonus, and it starts playing that hidious music my 17 month old daughter comes running into the room and does her little bobbin up and down dance... Had a mephisto but after all together my wife and I putting in over 75,000 tokens it and getting a little over 50,000 in payouts on level 6 I sold it.

Guess I would be in awe if I gave a machine with some form of alternate features a try....

[Bigsasquatch]

Hi,

don't forget to check the classifieds......

I'm currently selling a King Camel at a very reasonable price....


Cheers

I've read quite a lot of the members saying how much gameplay Sinbad had - I've not got any of the machines, so am not an expert. Do a search under Sinbad, or hopefully some of the members with this machine can chip in. I don't know about the Beast Sapp, but I've read that Sinbad has eyeshooting involved, which always makes a machine a bit more interactive imho.
