    King Camel is a great machine, Sindbad is Ok as well. Neo Zetz has a Mummy (egypt) theme. I don't have the Zetz but the others I do and like.

    Hi Bullwinkle,

    I think Sindbad Adventure is one of the best choices,
    great gameplay and different animations on the 17" lcd screen
    if you want a machine with an arabic theme i think this is the best choice

    Here is a photo is took today of the bonus game

Will they ship to my state, or do I need to have machines shipped to, say, Kentucky (an easy 10 minute drive for me to Louisville)?

    Also, his 'special' of 3 machines for $399 shipped sounds awfully good even though the machines I originally posted about aren't in there. King Camel, Fire Drift might make a good combo. Thinking maybe it wouldn't be bad to just dive in!
    I asked Gaku yesterday if he shipped to Indiana, and he said yes!

    Much thanks for asking Gaku! If things go as I think they might, our office might have to be renamed 'mini-casino'. Just from the few days I've been lurking around here I've seen several more machines that keep screaming at me. What's weird is that I an not normally interested in these types of things, preferring a good card game (poker) or something on my PC.

    So why, now, is it that I am watching videos on the web site at Stealth's? Why does Neo Magic Pulsar look like so much fun? Why is Speed Racer taunting me from my childhood? Dance Night just looks like fun. I haven't seen any reviews but Top Gun is another one that looks cool......but wait..... I am SUPPOSED to be SHOPPING for my WIFE!

    And, FYI, I wasn't the lucky sap who won the Rio for a paltry 157.00 on Ebay. I should've bought it, but wanted to get as much information from everywhere before I make that first purchase. I am kicking myself now though......

    And hey, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of my new friends here at Pachitalk!

    What you've stumbled upon is a little known secret about pachis....they release small particles of crack. Just a whiff of one and you're hooked. You'll quickly need more and more to get your fix. Welcome to our world.....and the board!

    I suggest Sinbad as well. Very interactive, very egyptian themed, great first machine. That's not to say it's a beginner's machine, but rather, getting one of the better titles first is much better than getting one of the basic ones and getting ...gasp...turned off the hobby.

    Ended up getting a Neo Magic Pulsar machine for our first. What a total blast to play, and we're already looking into a Sinbad Adventure and a King Camel. All of you have corrupted us in just a couple of short weeks' time. Bad bad bad, I say. Gotta go, time to practice eyeshooting!

    Thanks again to everyone on the board, and if anyone has a Las Vegas machine they need to get rid of, let me know! (She's played the online version here and HAS to have it!)

    Merry Christmas!
