    Tokens! Tokens! Tokens!

    Okay this point is simple.. If you play with on average 1000 tokens, this would mean you would have to have another $250 in quarters invested in your machine just to play it! :roll:

    That's a whole other machine!

    Tokens are very similar in size and unless your just into feeling the edges to give the ridged feeling tokens work just fine.

    Now imagine if you will that you have a party and a bunch of people come over. You have six machine set up. You'd have $1500 of your dollars with a whole bunch of peoples hands on them. Are you going to have $1500 when they leave? You could always make them use their own quarters or have the house sell them to each person wanting to play but, if they win, are you going to let the walk out the door with your $250 worth in that machine?

    750 tokens per machine with the autostop from Pachislo USA.
    Which allows me to push the 3rd button for a couple of seconds to add 53 credits when I run out of coins in the tray.
    So I very rarely have to open my machines any more.

    But if I have change in my pocket I will throw it in every so often. Just went through the machines last week and had over $50 in quarters in there. Makes a nice little piggy bank.

    My Betty Boop and Dai Yamato machines each have about 1150 tokens each. Hadn't thought of using quarters, need them for other things.

    Here in Iowa, quarters would make it a gambling machine, and I would end up the river, in a cell with BuBa who like the other white meat.

    Tokens are fine, I even found token the same size as a quarter to replace the quarters in my old Mills slot machines, that way the tokens don't evaporate over time.

    If you want them contact:
    http://www.fanninislots.com/tokens.html and email them for best price.
    Nice people, fast ship, good service, brand new tokens.

    Also vcarry all sizes of tokens up to $1 size

    I use both. When I bought my 1st Pachislo machine I viewed the expense of tokens as additional money lost if the machine broke, or turned out to be no fun. I figured the $200 in quarters would always be worth $200, but $60+ worth of Tokens could be worth almost nothing. After I got my 2nd machine, I decided to run the 1st on quarters (piggy bank?) and the new one on tokens. That about drove me nuts, so now they both have a mix of tokens and quarters. This way, I can just buy tokens and my guests can drop their pocket change in my slots if they choose :-)

    I think if there was a 3rd choice it wouldnt be 18-1. Im sure tokens would still lead, but just wanted to put up thefact ath I use a bit of both. It makes a great piggy bank!
