you will need to join our 12 step program

Actually, it's a three step program:

1. Buy a Pachislo
2. Buy a Pachinko
3. Go back to step 1

Welcome! :lol:

Oh no! The old goto loop!! Let's see if I remember that...

10 Join "pachitalk"
20 Learn "on pachitalk"
30 Shop "on ebay"
40 Purchase "a pachislo"
50 Purchase "a pachinko"
60 Purchase "a stand"
70 Teach "on pachitalk"
80 goto 20


I'm sure we can come up with four more steps. 8-)

Bad programming. There has to be a way to get out of that loop. I suggest you branch out to another program. How about putting a counter in that loop, say X. Then add a line that says

IF X = 100 THEN RUN "OUT OF MONEY"

or is it "RUN OUT OF MONEY" :-)

My name is arbycoffee and I am addicted to Pachinko & Pachi-slo, I play with my balls and tokens all day. You should see my hands.

But I don't feel bad, really I feel good!

Okay, we can introduce the X factor as a subroutinue. You'd have to enter a starting bankroll and then update after each machine purchased. Then right before you went bankrupt, the program could warn you to sell your older machines before continuing.

Now we're getting into many more than 12 steps though, as this could morph into a seperate bankroll subroutinue for both pachislo's and pachinkos.

you forgot to factor in "y" running out of room

or "z" mate is getting ticked!!!!!

[arbycoffee]

my head hurts http://www.users.qwest.net/~arbycoff.../smile_spy.gif

Now the "Y" factor is intersting. "Y" would be a square footage number that upon a certain amount of machine being entered would bring up construction plans for a 2nd or 3rd story or an additional width.

Now the "Z" factor would have to have an additional "ZX" value assigned for the wimp syndrome. :wink:

[gwarzin]

you forgot to factor in "y" running out of room

y running out of room? 'Cause you bought too many pachislos, thats y.

four more steps :
1) buy more tokens
2) buy power strips
3) buy more balls
4} buy token/ball trays

Reading this thread is definitely like looking in a mirror...

:lol:

[azlew]

Hey this formula is great stuff ! So where is it now :?: :!:

[fierodog]

1500tokens=need another machine
2machines-wife=12 more machines but not enough tokens again.
It looks like a never ending formula to me...

[luckydog]

your second example is wrong!!!!

12 machines-wife-attorney fees = 2 machines :lol:

[luckydog]

our local mall store sold all the machines they had listed for 299.00.

there was at least 8 to 10 of them.

you can still buy a babel for 549.00

or a betty boop for the bargain price of 1,700.00 :lol:

[azlew]

My ladyfriend was just in Spencers at our Metrocenter mall Phoenix and they had a Pachislo (she didn't recognize the model - it's all japanese to her) there. The clerk said they originally had it for sale for 500.00 but now reduced it to 299.00.

[Tulsa]

But it comes with 100 tokens.. :roll:

[fierodog]

I'm up to 2 machines now!!! Went back to marcs today they had a whole new selection that had 3 of the slug ones with the sniper on them all $150 the also had some pachinko machines this time those were $100. Might go back in a few weeks and see what else they come up with.

[Tulsa]

You found Metal Slugs for $150? I need a phone number...
