    Computer Pachinkos are vintage pachinkos that were converted for use in arcades and stuff in the late 70s early 80s..

    Here are some pics..

    All your comments are really helpful and useful to me. I think I need to get over some points to sell them in US market.

    I was wondering that the computer game is the one that do not have a shooter but some buttons to control the game?
    I know the machine that we do not need to use pachinko balls for play. When I insert money and push a button, the game starts without pachinko balls like American slot machines. All I do is just looking at the machine and waiting for jackpot.
    Is this the computer game you are talking about?

    I have never seen one of those machines. Do you have any more information about them? It might look good on my bar at home

    I dont think the "computer pachinko" is "ball-less" (or neutered, per-se). I think it just got that name because it used early microcontroller systems to automate (for arcade use) retro-pachinko machines.

    I wouldn't get too wrapped up worrying about those old systems. just push ahead with a system that is easy to use that is primarily for entertainment, and in no way gambling related. That means... no pretty red boxes can be bought with the tickets that can be traded for cash at a window with a yellow awning next door. Unless you set it up with certain Chic^g0 labor uniogot off track there... I mean... NO way gambling related.

    Just look at a skee ball setup. Go for the same thing. It will just be about 1000x more fun with all the lights, bells, and Rahm EmanI mean 60%? Cripes!

    Thank your for the pics.
    It looks nice, but I have never seen them here in Japan.
    Are there still any computer machines in USA arcades?

    Hahaha, It will be great to install this machine on your bar.
    I have been making a handling manual for this machine, and I am still striving to translate and understand the mechanism of the machine.
    I will update the info as soon as possible!
    I will display this in the expo coming to March in Las Vegas!
