Thoughts on Marilyn Monroe Pachinko

[nickbuol]

I am at my parents house, the ones with the 1950's room in their basement, and while it wouldn't be "vintage", they showed some interest today in the Marilyn Monroe pachinko that is up for auction right now. There are some limited pictures online, and I've seen Arby's videos, but there is little information about how well it plays.

I realize that a majority of the game is based underwater with fish and such, but how good is the game for someone who will only play it occassionally? What that means is that it would take a little longer to got "bored" with it, but the main point is for Marilyn Monroe, not fish.

Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!

After some more looking, they showed a great interest in Betty Boop Pachislo as well. I know that this isn't the pachislo forum, but does anyone know how much one of those runs as well as general availability? My parents are trying to keep everything under $200, so I think that the Betty Boop may be out by price alone.

It'll be pretty much impossible to find a Boop for under $200.

Stealth has them for $400, DGI has them for $700 (ouch).

My Betty came from Gaku and the price was pretty reasonable. I love the Betty!

I think Otis had one for a reasonable price

Pachislo machines are new to me, so some of these contacts are foreign in my book. Who is Otis? I can try to check with Gaku as well. Will I find anything for less than $400 (plus $90 shipping) like what Stealth has?
