He says he sells a bunch of them, but evrytime I stop in, it looks like the same machines are there.

Wasn't there a Vacuum sales person that we had a discussion on before on the other board hmmm who was that :?:

That guy was an ebayer out of california I believe.
This guy is a bum who sits in his big store in PA and waits for you to come to him.

I find this odd...but the Spencer Gifts in Hawaii (And i thought you couldnt have anything to do with slots in Hawaii) has Pachislo's in the store on display, dont know if they are for sale or not? Simple models but Babel 4th reel....

Hawaii ? Well the Japanese do like to visit there.

Most of the dealers list Hawaii as a pachislo only state. They sell pachislo machines there for both home use and modified for redemption machines.

I beleive that guy was shut down on ebay. He was selling machines he didn't have in hand. I think the people received their machines eventually, but it took over a month or something. Similar to that nipponslo who was selling machines that were on the boat and not yet in hand.

that was t-rollie who sold vacumns and pachilos

From that Hawaii webpage come this statement :

For the Redemption Industry, we have formatted the Pachislo to operate coin in and ticket out, making out Redemption Pachislo one of the best values in the Arcade Industry

So there you go. I wonder why we don't see more of these in the continental states ?

Well went today and what do you know...it disappeared! Gone with the wind...im still wondering if someone bought it or if the cops took it? Cause i believe they are illegal here in hawaii...even though Ultra Zone had about 20 of them!

spencers in NY had them too wanting 400 for a model that was worth about 150

The nice thing about them being sold in retail stores is that people like me finally see them! I have a mechanical ball pachinko that I bought in the mid-70s and have always wanted a slot machine for the game room but either couldn't afford it or didn't want to fight with the legal bunch here in IA who say you aren't allowed to have such a gambling device.

Saw this machine at Costco and had to have it. Had to UNBOX it to put in our Camry back seat. Got it home, love it, and lhave since logged on to the net to learn more which brings me to this great site.

All this time, I could have had one of these puppies and was unaware until running into it at Costco. Now, I'm thinking I might end up with a bunch of 'em. :lol:

Wife and daughter are enjoying the heck out of it, as well. :lol:

Well I wonder if Costco is going to stop selling them after the holidays. From what the manager of the area of one of them told me, they can't keep them in stock at that price.

We were on vacation in Chicago area. We were in the store for 30 minutes and 4 went out while we were there. They were FLYING out.

I'm tellin' ya, people don't realize these machines are out there for this kind of price. I sure didn't. I looked for slot machines a few years back and they were VERY expensive. These machines are affordable.

**gwarzin** · 12-11-2004, 03:36 PM

Stopped at Watson's today in Indianapolis. They said they had a few pachislos a few weeks ago and received an official notification from the State of Indiana that it was illegal to sell them. So they removed them from the store.

The people I talked to didn't know if the letter said just illegal to sell them, or also illegal to own them.

**Davis** · 12-11-2004, 04:41 PM

see thats what keeps us down here in INd, i guarantee the people who sent that letter dont know the difference between these adn vegas slots. Its so damn stupid!

**Tulsa** · 12-11-2004, 04:45 PM

Well are they legal for you guys or not?

**Davis** · 12-11-2004, 05:28 PM

ive been told yes, asl ong as they stay tokens and arent used ina gambling setting, who the hell knows though. Not gonna stop me from selling them!

**fierodog** · 12-12-2004, 12:26 AM

just got one yesterday from MARC'S discount store for 150. never knew these existed till yesterday. Fun ! I was thinking about customizing and that brought me here. Real cool place. I see I going to get quite addicted to these things anyways MARCS are all over out here and have two types. The japan language ones were 120. English speaking ones 150.
