    Default Got a Taiyo Elec pachinko with cool features

    I got last week a really nice Tayio Electron pachinko. It's not one with the bingo in the middle, but is a bit arepachi style. It have the numbers at the bottoms, as you can see in this picture:


    Something also cool about it is the button just over the knob, and the digits counter on the tray:


    The digits counter count the balls shot, up to sixteen. The button is use to reset the game after the 16 balls has been shot. This machine work a bit like an arepachi and every attempt to light up the numbers must be done using 16 balls at a time.

    Just under the numbers, there's a digits which count the points received during the game (16 balls round). For each points, 16 balls are paid at the end of the round when the button is pressed to reset the game.

    The points can be obtained like this:

    The first point is given for a line of 4 numbers lighted up. Each additional number to this row give an additional point. so if there's a row of 5 consecutive numbers lighted up, 2 points is obtained.

    The numbers labeled (5,6,7,8) or (9,10,11,12) with give 3 points instead of 1 when lighted up.

    A maximum of ten points (named H) can be obtained, and will pay 160 balls.

    Here is two picture showing the points distribution.


    This is all I know for now. I had to clean the machine, really really dirty, never been cleaned, but because of that, there's no water stains hehehe.

    The only thing I don't like much is the ball counter. because the ball push a switch to be count as shot, sometime the ball double trigger the switch. So I end up with less than 16 balls shot.

    If you have any idea of what I should do, feel free to share.

    I will try to figure out the center part of the cell. sometime it open to let some ball enter the center zone, but it doesn't pay anything so I don't know yet.

    Very cool..Great post!!

    I bet its sort of like my Apollo 1 also by Taiyo Elec, where you can get points/balls on the bottom but there is other stuff too, like matching numbers in the middle then having to shoot balls in different places...Its like having 2 ways to play..

    Yup, it's probably a bit similar. do you also have the 16 balls counter or you can shoot more balls before the numbers at the bottom of the cell are reset?

    You can only shoot 16 balls at a time and you can't shoot anymore until it pays out at the end..

    It also has the the number/H thing under the 16 pockets!!

    A very nice find. Is about as close to an arepachi as I have seen.


    The short game is what I like most about an Arepachi. I think you will really enjoy this one and maybe I will look for one.

    I have no room but???

    MrGneiss, do you have the same problem with the ball shot often being registered twice?

    I have the same one as Stuey and no, never had trouble with it triggering but it will hang up sometimes if it misses a ball that was misfired and falls back towards the shooter

    What owen said!!

    I remember a few people have had problems in the past with the Apollo and Penguin machines getting messed up when it stops counting balls right or something..And then it won't shoot anymore because it hasn't counted all 16 balls...But so far mine's still workin good!!

    I asked about it to MrGneiss in the shoutbox, it seem he don't have the balls counter on the tray as I have on mine.

    Maybe your do the same as me, it don't hang up, but if a ball is misfired and come back, sometime it is registered twice as a new ball shot, so maybe you reach the 16 balls count earlier than you think, but you don't know some ball has been counted twice because you don't have the display counter to show it? would it be possible?

    Mine seem to work fine once the ball are shot, but the double ball counting happen also if I don't shoot the ball hard enough and the ball come back.
