    Default Is there something like "the best manufacturer"?

    Hi,

    I would like to know your opinions on the question if there is something like "the best manufacturer for Pachislo games" in terms of gameplay, action, presentation, lights, service...

    I know this is a hard question but I'm sure you also have your preferences like Sankyo for the design or Rodeo for the big screen or whatever you want. For example, when it came to pinball, I always was a fan of Williams for their gameplay and "look and feel", though in the eighties, I did like Bally more :-)

    Thanks, Berzerk

    I would have to say that IGT has built some of the better and most popular pachislos..

    ... see, & I say Daito.
    They've had some real gems.

    What it all comes down to is, ones personal preference.
    Find something that appeals to your eye, then investigate it further.
    All manufacturers have produced some fine titles...
    If they hadn't, they'd be out of business.

    In my opinion IGT machines made prior to 2004 are some of the best overall pachislo'. NET make a great chassis.
    Both of these manufactures are considered top notch particularly in the secondary collectors market.

    It really comes down to taste. Each manufacture has had there share or hits and misses.
    Abilit and Daito-Giken make quality machines as well..

    Is IGT out of the Pachislo business? The latest machine on their website is from 2007...

    How are the machines from Rodeo? I like the screen going around the reels :-)

    Sammy Corp took over production of IGT machines in 04. Makes sense from a cost perspective. Not that Sammy's are bad machines far from it's just IGT has a certain flavor I like.

    Rodeo makes a nice machine. I've only owned one Salaryrman 01
    It's a pretty cool machine, biker theme and some nice music.
    Ask for folks opinions but ultimately get the one, two or three... machine/s which you like!!
