Bellco Digi Flush Pachislo Questions - newbie here, be nice!

[markronz]

Hello everyone-
I am new to pachislos in general, but my cousin just gave me this Bellco Digi Flush:
http://www.markronsman.com/slot/1.jpg

I have some questions that I am hoping everyone can help me with. I did try searching the forum first, and I found a few answers, but several of the threads contained broken links, so I thought I could try asking again.

Question #1:
I am a bit confused by the amount of credits you can play at a single time. I've searched around, and I'm fairly certain that my only option is to play 3 credits (the max) at a time. There does not appear to be a way to only play 1 or 2 credits. The reason this is confusing to be is that there's a bet button. Why would there be a bet button AND a Play Max Credits button, if you ALWAYS had to play the max? But that said, I played with all the options and cannot figure out how to do 1 or 2, so that must be it. When I insert three tokens the "Max Bet Only Start" light does light up.

To add to the confusion, I got this owner's manual with the machine. It has the following in it:
http://www.markronsman.com/slot/3.jpg
Then again, the manual cover looks like this:
http://www.markronsman.com/slot/4.jpg
It just says "Skill Play Machine User Manual", this seems pretty generic, and perhaps is not written for my exact model. So I guess I just wanted someone to confirm that this is true, and that 3 credits is what I have to do. Correct?


Question #2:
In the picture from before, what does the "HIT" light mean?


Question #3:
Here is the payout sheet from my machine. I do not understand what these all mean. There are 5 payouts listed on the top part, and then 1 additional one (7's) listed below that.
http://www.markronsman.com/slot/5.jpg
Can someone explain what all these mean?
-- Non matchings 3 x 7's wins 15 and a bonus game?
-- 7/RP & RP & RP you win 15? Why does it say Bonus Games above this?
-- 3 x cash bags you win 9? Why does it say Big Bonus + 15 below this?
-- 7/RP & RP & RP -- why is this listed again? I know that three RP's you get a replay, but I don't know why this item is listed twice on the payout sheet. Also, why is "Big Bonus 15 + bonus game" listed under this?
-- cherry you win 1. Hey I get that one!
-- Then lastly the matching 3 x 7's listed below. It says 15 + Big Bonus.

I guess overall I just don't understand what goes with what. Which ones actually get bonus games? Is there a "Bonus game", and a "big bonus game"? Are those two separate things?


Question #4:
Next, I don't understand what these "Flush Digi" ones mean, shown below.
http://www.markronsman.com/slot/6.jpg
When I get three Flush Digi's, three green numbers appear above a dart board. I have no idea what these mean. Anyone know?
http://www.markronsman.com/slot/7.jpg
There is this explaination card here, but it's all in Chinese, so I have no idea what it means. Can anyone tell me?
http://www.markronsman.com/slot/8.jpg
I found this section in the manual, but I'm not sure if it has to do with my specific model or not. Doesn't seem like it?

Question #5:
Here is a picture of the setttings panel inside the machine. I do not understand what each of these do.
http://www.markronsman.com/slot/10.jpg
I understand the on/off switch, the fuse, the red button is a simple reset, and I know how to use the reset key. What I don't understand here is what those two flip switches in the middle do? Anyone know?
Also, I do not know what the white button does either. It's labeled as Odds Settings, however, I found that this button here on the back of the door is actually the odds settings button:
http://www.markronsman.com/slot/11.jpg
So does anyone know what the white button is for then?

Question #6:
Next, I have some questions about the speakers. They are too loud, like everyone here in America seems to agree on. I played with the dip switches on the circuit board here, but they did not make it quiet enough:
http://www.markronsman.com/slot/14.jpg
There are two speakers on top:
http://www.markronsman.com/slot/12.jpg
Then there is an additional speaker on the bottom:
http://www.markronsman.com/slot/13.jpg
Is the lower speaker just for base? And the top two are most of the primary sounds? I just want to know how many volume controls knobs I need to get. Do I really need to buy one volume knob for each speaker? I see that there are some volume knobs here that you can hook up to two speakers:
http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=260-260
http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=260-251
one is $9 more than the other. The more expensive one is 50w, and the cheaper one is 15w. How do I know which one to get?


Whew that's a lot of questions! Hopefully someone can help me out with these. I really appreciate it!!

I've been searching around and found this payout sheet on this site:
http://www.pachislodb.com/db-DIGIFLUSH.html
Here is the payout list:

This one makes more sense to me. It also makes it clear that there is a Big Bonus game and also just a normal Bonus game. I don't know what either of them is still...
But the above chart makes more sense to me. I'm still sort of confused by the last line though. But my guess is that it just means while in the big bonus or normal bonus game, if you get a 7/RP & RP & RP then you win 15. Just want to confirm that.

Welcome to pAchitalk.I will try to answer some questionsThe machine uses a max bet button the other bet buttons aren't used , the machines use different game designs in the same frames so rather than making new frames for other games they just produce one or two frames and include all the buttons,that don't always function, if that makes sense.The digi game in your machine is unique with bellco machines ,It's an added game in a game. When three numbers match it goes into the chance mode to win the bonus round.The writing is in japanese and basically explaines how the combinations go into the bonus rounds.The manuals are very generic and are for most machines as a rule, most machines are set up the same with different bonus features.The RP is a replay ,in whitch you get a free spin.The hit light comes on wehn you get matching symbols,like the money bags or cherries.The bonus only hits on three 7's,during the chance rounds,or during the digi game.The 15 tokens payout during the the regular bonus at 8 game spins, the goes back to normal game unless it goes into the digi game then it can win again. The big bonus round has 3 rounds of 8 spins per round and chance spins up to 30 hits. In the bonus it pays out 15 tokens per spin,so 30 hits can add up to alot of tokens in the big bonus round,plus the digi bonus can add even more tokens per round. I hope that makes some sense.The little switches are for the auto reset ,in whitch the machine clears after a bonus round, so it does'nt require a manual reset.The volume controls on most pachi's don't do much to lower the noise, so you might want to add some additional volume controls.Ridio shack has inexpensive pots you can use ,one per speakeris used.You can find some on ebay or here on the aution.Ihope this helps you. Feel free to ask anything, we are all here to help . Good luck and have fun.

Ok, I've been working on this stuff for most of the day. I believe I have most of my questions answered. And I have a friend working on the Japanese translations for me. That should clear up some things too. I still have some questions around volume control. But I will search around the form some more first. If I still need help, I will start a new thread. Thanks for your help on this!

I remembered this weekend that my wife's godmother is married to someone that is Japanese. So I asked him to translate some of the instruction cards for me. Here are links to two pictures that have translations on them. Just wanted to post those in case anyone else found them useful.

So basically what I am getting from reading over both pictures is this...
If you get three Digi's in a row, the three green numbers on the right will flash.
If all three numbers match, you will get into the bonus game.
If all three numbers are odd, you will get the Big Bonus game.
If all three numbers are even, you will get the regular bonus game.
Even if your three numbers do not match, if you get a 7 as one of the numbers, there is a chance you will get a bonus game. The background will turn pink if you do. You will win 7 high winning spins.
You will get a chance at the bonus game every 130 games - maximum 190.
Then I think that "navigation" message in one of the pictures is just saying that you're supposed to stop the three reels in the right order, as the lights light up for that specific reel.

I did not know that the odd's and even's mattered before. I also did not know that if you got a 7 on the green numbers on the right, you still have a chance to get into the bonus game. So I'm pretty happy to have learned those things!

The only part I don't get is the "While you are playing within 8 JAC games if you get [BBs three times], [RB once], and then, if the background light turns red, a bonus is guaranteed !!" part. If anyone has any guesses, let me know. But I'm pretty happy with how much I know about it now.
