    It looks as if they took the center feature and stuck it on the table with all of the sounds and lights. They still made it playable. But as for a pachinko no it isn't a pachinko; it is the center of a pachinko inside a table.

    100 machines and counting...

    In Japan, it is quite usual they take cell and put it in a box (cabinet), then wire external controlboard (to use all controls and sound) and use at home. Also sometimes (mostly older with smaller Yaku), the cell is stripped with only Yaku and details that is putted together with operating-PCB and controlboard.

    But i never seen this done with a table
    Perhaps can this be called "Cocktail-Pachi"

    This just proves you can do ANYTHING with a pachinko, but often, there is absolutely NO point to it...
    There is always another machine around the corner...

    Those pachinko screens mounted in a box on Yahoo Japan are tempting

    my cutie honey is more or less one of these, just still in the frame. Sometimes you learn to love the pachi that will never have balls in it again just as much as all the others

    Poor Honey...You can't put her in a box. The bright yellow and orange frame is cool. My wife hates it
