    Default Pachinko "Bandit Arm"

    I recently picked up a Bandit Arm from member at PachisloDB and this was my plan for it.

    I had already built a custom "arcade style" cabinet for a Pachinko machine, about a year ago. I recently changed machines in it. Putting a "Wanted" machine in it. It is a Full Cycle machine and pays no balls. It has a Gaku Counter to score the balls, instead. The "Start Pocket" and the "Pay Pockets" all pay 5 points. All the balls return to the top tray and it only takes about 25 balls to play.

    So, the arm is going to be a "retro-fit" to the cabinet. The "Wanted" Pachinko machine is a western theme and having a "bandit arm" fits the machine very well. With the Arm installed it plays pretty much like a slot machine. The Arm is wired into the "Start Pocket" sensor, so you pull the arm down the reels spin, just as if you put a ball in the start pocket.

    Here are some pictures. One of what it started out as, with the "Seven Flash" machine in it and then some as it is now.







    Here is video of it in action.

    What if...​the ​HOKEY POKEY, is what it's all about?
