Wtb: metal slug Pachislo

[Icemanabq]

Anyone out there have one fs?
does anyone know what these are going for?
One more, what can one expect to pay to ship a pachislot?

Thanks, aaron

I have never shipped a Pachislo. They are pretty heavy though, I would guess at least $100.

[pachiwall]

Shipping? Depends on how far. I shipped 2 to Washington state, from Dayton, Ohio. Cost about $100 each. That was about as far away from me that you can get within the US without hitting ocean. Should be less if closer.

[Icemanabq]

Cool, thanks for the info! You think I could hunt one down for 150? Then 100 to ship...250$. That doesn't seem sobad.

Also has anyone ever played this slot? I love the old neo geo games. The animation was amazing.

I would keep an eye on Craigs List. Maybe let Jeff know you are interested as he is amazing at spotting deals on machines.

I had one. first the good. A great light show, even in attract mode the lights are memorizing. A large 10.5" LCD. There is some interaction with the lcd screen as you are able to switch between video and different game statistics. Video and sounds just like the Neo-Geo game. An over all sharp looking,fun game to own and play. The bad???well the only negative I have is the game got old pretty quick. It didn't take long to see all the different animation then the game started to become repetitive. I still would recommend it, especially in the $150 price range. PM me your email and I'll send you a metal slug play guide.

Keep your eyes peeled. Good bargains show up when you least expect it. My first 2 pachislo's were Lucky Cherry & MillionGod . I got them at a garage sale, Lucky Cherry worked, Million God didn't. Both no keys, with unknown amount of tokens inside. $50 for both. Once opened, about 350 tokens total, and Million God worked...after I flipped the power switch ON ! I eventually agreed to trade them for 2 very old pachinko machines. I wanted to replace them with something...so i searchrd Craigslist and found a Dayamoto Extreme about 45miles away for $65 with both keys and about 200 tokens. Traded it and Million God for the pachinkos...got to keep Lucky Cherry!Finally, bought a Spiderman 2 from a member (4 hour, 1 way drive) for $200 with about 1000 tokens. Also traded a Sankyo pachinko for a very old VERY ROUGH single ball pachinko machine on the way home.
Good deals are out there...just not when you want, or expect them!

Do you think the ones without the LCD screens are as fun as the ones that have them? Has anyone played the street fighter two machine? That one looks pretty cool!

[Card Shark]

My pachislo does not have a LCD screen and it gets played all the time. I do intend to add another machine with a screen. It will be interesting to see which gets played more after that.

The focus on a Pacislo with an LCD screen is what is going on in the LCD screen and less so on the slot reels.
The slot reels become a way to get more video which is branched off, sometimes many times. For me the LCD screen
makes a huge difference and I prefer the LCD screen. I have played a lot of American Slot machines in Vegas and
in CT and they are ok. But for a Pachislot which is not a slot machine but is a skill stop the LCD adds a new
and for me at least more interesting dynamic.

You will still have to play a very long time to see all the videos on a Pachislot LCD.

[Icemanabq]

Yeah, I agree, slots at casinos get kinda boring, and without the gambling aspect it might not get many spins at home, so I think something with a video game theme might be what I am looking for! Tekken, sf2, metal slug...I saw those devil may cry.. And they look neat. Never really have been a fan of tomb raider. Any others that you guys recommend?

Just saw a jet set radio one in Phoenix (no pic) has anyone played this one? I remember I enjoyed the dream cast game!

[Card Shark]

I think the Biohazzard machine looks very cool. Based on Resident Evil.

[Icemanabq]

Cool

[Card Shark]

I will definitely have one someday.

[Icemanabq]

That devil may cry and Popeye look cool with the huge screen around the slot!

single ball spiderman 048.jpgMy Spiderman 2 has the large screen around the reels. It is cool, and gives you something else to pay attention to while playing. But the screen action in Spiderman 2 is not as interactive as I had hoped. Seems like an assortment of clips and videos that I think I've seen all of...unless it suprises me! It is a good machine, but on this particular machine...to ME at least...it is like a big video gimmick. I enjoy my Lucky Cherry 002.jpg as much as Spiderman 2. Popeye seems to get great reviews. I've never played one...and wonder if I would like it better than Spiderman 2.
Although most everyone has a general dislike for American slots...I have a string attraction to the antique ones. I just love all the spinning gears and levers working together to perform a complex dance! I almost despise the vintage electromechanical, and modern computer controlled American slots...they just don't "sing" to me. Unfortunately...the mechanical slot machines cost $1000 or more! I was afraid I would never get one until I bought Brains Beer for $150. brains beer 016.jpg Not that exciting in play. Very stingy in payout...2 6d coins (old British coin, about the size of a dime) for 3 of a kind beer labels, and 2 6d coins and 5 BellFruit tokens for a "DOUBLES YOUR MONEY" dragon (probably Brains family crest) dragon & 2 of a kind beer labels. But that don't matter to me...IT IS A MECHANICAL MACHINE!brains beer 007.jpg brains beer 009.jpg I am actually considering using my Spiderman 2 game as a bartering tool to try to get a mechanical Mills brand slot machine with my tax money. I SHOULD pay bills with it... but I'm stupid!

[Icemanabq]

Cool machines! Thanks for giving me feedback on each one.

[Icemanabq]

Bump...
