Vocabulary - Part 2?

[bobandyo]

I read vocabulary part 1 (sticky) which was informative about describing/defining the elements of the playfield. It iindicated that there would be a "Vocabulary part 2" thread describing game play terminology which i have not see. Does it exist?

If not, I would be curious to see some write-up. In particular, The following come to mind: "Reach", "Fever", "Power Flash", "Battle Counters".

Thanks

Reach - a mode a pachinko machine enters that signals a particular 'jackpot' *might* be about to occur. Reaches are usually accompanied by more lights, more noise and different tunes as the machine signals the player that a possible jackpot is on the way. A Reach may occur many times before a jackpot actually occurs.

Fever - a term coined by Sankyo for some of their early 1980's machines, it refers to the jackpot and the big payout a machine is able to make. If the correct sequence for that particular machine is reached by the player, the machine enters 'Fever' Mode and the machine begins paying out its pre-determined jackpot.

Battle Counters - found on the top of each machine in pachinko parlors, these digital displays track statistics on the machines payouts (Fevers/jackpots), Reaches and other important individual information. As the ethos around playing a pachinko machine is often seen as a 'battle' or 'war' by the Japanese, these counters track those player v machine movements, and are considered then as Battle Counters.
