Maharaja owners ever see this?

[fronzdan]

My machine went through a loooong dry spell, hardly even getting any reaches. This went on for many hours of play over a couple weeks.

Last night while I was playing the screen went blank (an intentional part of the animation) and a scene I'd never seen before appeared. It was a bridge made of stone/brick. It was flanked by two of the girls in the feather costume dancing. Above the bridge was a sign that said "Bravo!". A new song was playing as matching sets of numbers kept parading over the bridge - 111's, 222's, 333's etc. It finally stopped on 666's and fevered. This was followed by two more fevers.

I have to remember to keep the camera nearby while playing!

That sounds like the "Total Turnover Reach". The tune would have been the "Samba DE Janeiro".

That reach was one of the many built into this exciting machine.

Not sure if I seen that one yet.

[hanabi]

Don't recall seeing that one!!

That's it!!! How do you know these things???

I wonder if I'll ever see that again?

... because I'm the Pachi Casanova! (See Ferrari Post Link - PachiTalk )

I wonder if I'll ever see that again?

Just keep playing. There's likely many more you haven't seen yet!

[fronzdan]

Cool! More to look forward to!

Another special reach I saw a while ago is the one where the guy and girl are out in the snow getting romantic...you know how those young disco-dancing kids are!

This is one of my favorite machines. I believe the scene you are describing is called the "Cheek Reach". The guy tries to woo the girl and if successful, "Mary Jane" plays in the background. The speech between them changes and sometimes the guy's rival will appear.

Which model do you have? The PJ, TJ, TS or V? The PJ is the most common.

Dishpan know all

Now you know how much time I spent with this game.

[fronzdan]

I believe I have a TJ. The cell coloring matches the TJ model on the Heiwa site and I see sticker on the machine that says 65/100 and 3&10&15.

Do you think the different models have different vids or is it just the payout and winning chances?

[Chrisdice]

I have a TJ, I think. The bottom left sticker has TJ as the last two digits.

Yes that is a TJ, as is mine as well. The various model specs are:

TJ
3&10&15
1/375.5 - 1/37.5
65% (65/100)
15R9C

TS
3&10&14
1/288.5 - 1/28.8
55%
15R9C

PJ
3&10&15
1/99.2 - 1/9.9
50%
4R9C

V (Cash Machine Type)
5&3&10&14
1/204.5
N/A
15R9C

The V model does not have a "Trance Time" or "DJ Chance" modes, but otherwise as far as I can tell, all the models display the same video and audio for all the reaches.

I determine the model type from the label on the cell face as shown in the first picture of a PJ.

As you can see, I went overboard and found all the "accessories", including a factory manual, to complete this machine.

very cool toys!

[Chrisdice]

I love that flag.

[fronzdan]

Yeah I want that flag and the music CD too.

What exactly is Trance Time? I know it's probably a higher odds period, but, like, is there something onscreen or a special song that plays? I've seen various thing like this after a fever. The 100 spins counter...also seen a Maharaja log that shows up at the top.

[Chrisdice]

One thing is obvious, we need to play this more.

[birdbrain]

alright!! i need one of these machines

[Bojinx]

It may not end up being my first pachi, as was planned, but I WILL own this game.

It's only a matter of time.

[hanabi]

Finally managed to shuffle some Pachinkos about
and found out that I have the TJ Model too


errrrr and the Flag!!

Heiwa's original tune "Kinetic Drive" is played during the "Trance Time" play mode. This "Trance Time or Chance" period increases the odds of a jackpot or Fever. Here are some pics.

At the end of a Fever round, you have 100 spins of increased odds to hit another jackpot. There is a special name for this "Time Saving" play mode but it escapes me at the moment.
