"British" Pachinko?

[Meathead]

An interesting find. A little steep on the shipping.

Yes, they usually command a high price too

and are commonly known as Allwins...


here's some mentioned in a recent Thread

I really like them, but they cost way too much for me...




Edit* thought it looked familiar!!

The thread you linked to was started by the same listing. I haven't been paying attention!

Very cool looking machine though. I'm guessing they are the same in principal as a "trade stimulator" was here, many years ago.

I've seen some interesting German "slots" listed on Craigslist over the last few months. I think Eddie had posted a video some time back showing one in use? I'd love to own something unusual like that.

I always check ebay for interesting Pachinko-like games,

usually the Allwins are out of my price range and the german ones like the Rotamints, Rotafruits, Rotamats, etc

are too far for reasonable shipping or collection

but I still like to Window Shop!!


I remember playing an Allwin in a seaside amusement arcade when I was a young girl,
the prize was a roll / tube of Fruit sweets known as 'Fruit Polos'

great fun!!

I have one of the giant multi column allwins, like in the original post.

Mine is a Ruffler and Walker Fill 'Em Up. I bought it from the late John Carter (of Carters Steam Fair).

They are quite complex mechanically. You have to fill an entire column with balls - then you get a payout. They are very large and heavy - and the mechanism is all on the door, like a pachinko.

Nice fun machines - but now very expensive!
