Panchinko & samurai-slot ebay

Just out of curiosity, how are they able to allow people to pick items up at their warehouse? These things are illegal in California, aren't they?

The pachislos are illegal but I'm not at all sure about pachinko since it's ball driven and not token driven.

Dhcloud, I was the person before you, nice to meet you. I was going to drop you a note for a mini pachi convention as you are only about 20mins away from me.

They had to make up a Vickie for me that was why I was waiting. I just got it plugged in. Does yours have 3 stickers on the face? Mine looks hardly used except for behind the ashtray.

Pachinko is legal in CA, I was also told not to send email to mercy and calling would be best before pickup. I think the biggest problem was CA charges sales tax on the shipping and that causes them to have to reinvoice or they would be liable for the sales tax on the shipping they did not use. I also got to peek into their shop and noticed that they pack them sideways and use a heavier box that is stapled. BTW, they had about 8 or more back there and offered me a color choice (yellow or green).

Now if I can only find the volume control on this guy it looks nice enough to start playing.

Inquiring minds want to know???

did you get Yellow or Green

[imsimba]

Seeing as I kept missing out on the yellow I was tempted but I went with the green. I knew the green had the blue/green/turquoise side lights. Also because of the green lights in the cell. BTW, I have grandparents in Bradenton Luckydog. Its a nice place and the beaches are beautiful.

Thank you EVERYONE. It will take me awhile to get use to the whole bulletin board thing, and how to manuever around the web-site, but I think that I will catch on.

Arbycoffee: Pachination, sounds like the place I want to be. I think I need to open my very own Pachinko Parlor, I am addicted.

TULSA: Pashislo's are illegal in California, but Pachinko's are not since the Pachinko uses balls and is not seen as gambling but only a form of entertainment. And you can actually own a REAL slot machine in California if it is older then 25 years. Also even though the Pachislo takes tokens they are still illegal since it can be easily modified to use american currency. Strange but true.

You are a member of a new nation, Pachination

The concept of PachiTalk was to bring together anyone and everyone who has a passion for these amazing Japanese creations. Once you stepped through the doors at PachiTalk.com, you become part of the Pachination.
You are no longer Japanese, American, English, Italian, German, etc. (If I missed you I am sorry). You are now considered a Pachinational, put that on an application! We are all one big entity amongst ourselves and our Pachis. Segregation is not our philosophy and the seperating of diffent cultures will not happen, we are one, under the Pachi Flag.

We are the United Nations of Pachiland....

Welcome to the club Janetcatherineb.

Imsimba, yes my Vicky still had stickers on it too. One on the right side of the glass (sort of like a spec info sticker), the non smoking one on the ashtray, and one other (can't remember right now).

First I want to say, I'm new. Second I'm addicted to these slots, they are so much fun. I check this site almost everytime I'm online now. I just started with Pachislo/panchinkos back in May 2006 it started with one Automatic machine.......as of today I'm up to 8 Pachislo and 1 panchinko (starwars). I have purchased almost all of my machines through Tom at Samurai Slots. Tom is a great guy. Nice to talk to. If there is a problem Tom will try to help. I reccommend them highly.

[luckydog]

Panchinko's new ads now state $25.00 pickup fee.

[janetcatherineb]

Ya I noticed that $25.00 pick up fee also, that is the same thing the one in fullerton does. I think they kinda caught on to that.
