    no you cant change the odds on pachinko like a pachislo you can only bend the nails to try and alter your chance of getting balls in the start pocket
    My rice krispies told me to do it

    you cannot change the odds on a pachinko,

    you can only bend the nails slightly to increase the chances of the spheres entering the pockets

    so with no way to change the odds other than the pins
    is it possible to change video settings such as tint brightness size contrast color as it's possible with a TV or a puter moniter?

    There are some machines from the mid 90's with 3 odds settings. Guess it was just an experimental thing. My CR Beach has a key switch on the back for this. Otherwise, the odds are fixed, only way to change is to get a different spec cell.

    On the vast majority of LCD screened pachis there are no adjusments. A few LCD panels have contrast and brightness inputs (but no controls attached to them) .

    As LCD panels are an RGB display device and are directly driven by an RGB source it is not possible to make colour adjustments, as these can only be done in the Luminance/Chrominance colour domains (ie composite, Y/C (S-video) or YUV (Y-Pr-Pb component), in the same way Tint adjustment can only be performed on composite or Y/C signals.

    Having these controls would just make the circuitry more complicated for something that's unlikely to be ever used in a pachinko parlour.

    Cool Re: pachinko odds?

    daverob, I think I've been reading way too many of your post. I actually under stood that one and didn't need it translated into laymen’s terms. LOL

    But seriously, thank you for the information. It is always appreciated.

    That was a way for them to save money on making different spec models, essentially the dawn of the difference between the cash and pre-paid card units.

    Are the odds affected by how long the machine has been on? I read somewhere that machines pay out a certain amount per day. Does that mean that once you hit a jackpot that you have a day's worth of time to wait before you are even likely to payout again?

    Also what about home use which is usually not 24x7? If you turn it on an hour per day would you have to wait a minimum of a month to likely fever again?

    As I assume most people don't keep the machines on 24/7... are the chances of getting a super mega bonus more unlikely in a home setting as the machine is usually only on for small durations?


    Just curious.

    Time is not a factor. All is controlled by a computer.
    I believe the posted odds are an average of 10,000 balls or so.

    This is my personal opinion, or of the voices in my head, and are not meant to reflect the opinion of this board.

    Due to space restrictions I bring my Pachinkos out in rotation,
    so they have spells where they might not been in use for quite a few weeks / months...

    but I always manage to get them fevering at least 2 or 3 times before they go back away and another is brought out in it's place....

    They usually get 2 or 3 hours play a night...

    I've had one shut off for a few days and hit a fever in about 300 balls shot.

    and fever rounds usually come back to back on a lot of pachinkos

    OK, I just wondered whether (let's say the super jackpot where Yoda appears) was one that might never come up unless the machine has been on for a certain time.

    Thanks!
