Game Room with 8 pachinkos

[quester]

Here my set up of 8 pachinkos,

4 are on a 8 foot work bench, all 4 are 1/99 +/- odds, fever rounds are 4 or 6 rounds (American Dream & Sea Story), Star Wars is 4 or 15, Matrix is 4+1 or more

2 are on a 4 foot work bench, Superman and Monster Village, both are 14/15 round fevers

2 others are on home made outdoor table, Fever Ghost and Judo Club

The benches are just over 3 feet tall, so you can sit or stand to play, I have 3 chairs for 6 machines, so it easy to get out of chair to move to different machine

Games with lights on

grouped together are:

Star Wars Darth Vader & Hyper Sea Story

American Dream Casino & Enter the Matrix

Monster Village & Superman Returns

Fever Ghost & Exciting Judo Club

And behind machines, I went to carpet store and purchased a cardboard roll, and cut out just over 1/4 of it and set at a angle to have all pachinko balls land in a single tray, to keep cardboard round I used pieces of a drainage piping.

I mounted the power supplies to a piece of wood with plastic feet, so they wouldn't slide or mark up workbench, they don't fit with cardboard having to be so close to machines, to lead balls out of machine, I used the board I cut out, and shaped to the angle I needed so all balls land in the track

Nothing to exciting, half the room is pachinkos, other half is storage, there enough room to play and move around, soon it will be upgraded with TV and stereo

a very nice setup and creative way to collect lost balls

This is very thought out.

It looks like one of your work benches is from the Gladiator garage collection.

I went to a discount rug store, roll was 5 bucks, hardest part was getting it home, being like 14 foot long

2 of the benches are gladiator 8 foot, and 4 foot, I have a older 8 foot, so one height, the 4 foot adjusts, but set st same height as 8, I found 4 foot at a sears discount store for half price


Favorite machines are 1.Star Wars 2.Superman Returns 3.American Dream
Matrix and Sea Story just are not as much fun as I thought they would be, maybe in time I will enjoy them more

When I had 4 machines, and only a couple thousand pachinko balls, it became alot of work moving pachinko balls around, so I tried a plastic piping system, but it clogged up, and hard to fix being inclosed, then thought of this idea, and so far it works, main goal was to get all losing balls to one place, now with over 20,000 pachinko balls, I have 2 card board ramps flowing to 2 trays that can catch about 5,000 balls (set of 4 machines & set of 2 machines), less work and more play, I haven't thought of a idea for the top, but haven't really tried anything yet, I have 5 cambro storage containers that can hold 700 or so pachinko balls to fill top area during fevers rounds, and refill when done playing or taking a break, ect. My 2 older machines, I use paint boxes I got at home depot, each box held 4 cans of paint, height worked out good, just had to cut out parts to slide into place.

For fun, I play my games like a casino, using large poker chips as markers for full trays of pachinko balls, I have 8 of the same kind of trays

The cardboard is 1/8 inch thick, so it sounds like dropping a pachinko ball on a hard wood floor, if you have perfect hearing, you can hear balls travel to bottom of ramp also, then whatever is catching balls will have a sound also.

For me, none of the sounds bother me, but everyone is different, if you do use a cardboard roll, be sure you use something to keep it round, I used pieces of white drain piping I found at a home depot, any other questions, just ask
