Dragon Dice

[Tulsa]

It's a 5 line play and mine also face a tad left. Hardly noticible though. The big and small lights should not be on all the time.

[Lazarus]

Tulsa. The lights do stay on all the time.
What does Dragon Navigation mean? I guessed right three times when the dice spun, even though I have no idea what combination if any meant on the reels to get it to ware it will ask you if you want big or small and spin the dice. The lights on the right got up to 80+ then said it was dragon navigation. I'm guessing you can hit a big bonus easer at this time and you have over 80 spins to do it in. At times it would flash a red,blue, or what I think is white but looks like a pale blue to me. At this time I tried for the color seven that it flashed. Do you think I could get three sevens in the 80 + spins. No! What am I doing wrong or whats up!

The big or small button lights is what I was referring to. They only light up with you have the option to choose big or small. Big is any combination on the dice equaling 7 or higher. Small is any combination on the dice equaling 7 or lower. 7 is a winner either way. If you guess three times in a row, you're in dragon navigation and it's similar to the future game in Spin Luck. The lights represent the color of the items you're shooting at. If it lights purple, shoot for the replay. If it lights yellow, shoot for the bells and if it lights green shoot for the watermelon and so on.

Now there will come a point where the machine will act very much like it's just broken down. This is a really cool effect, do not do anything to the machine at this time. Just sit back and enjoy for the moment.

Bump. I have to access if the Dragon Dice is not working right. The big or small button lights is what I was referring to. They only light up with you have the option to choose big or small. As said buy tulsa. Mine stay on all the time. Anyone else that has a DD please check your machine and let me know please. I want to call Decca on Monday. Thanks Laz.

I just checked my DD and the lights on the small/big buttons remain off until the dice are activated. However, one of the small/big lights on the back of the machine are on all the time depending on which the dice landed on last time. In the current example, the dice landed on 6 and my small light is on.

Hope this helps.

Then there must be something wrong with mine. They are on all the time. I have reset it twice. Have gotten the dice to roll a number of times and have had a small and big bonus. I checked the wires going to the main board and unplugged it and plugged them back in. Did not help.

My dice were crooked when the machine arrived and it was a pretty easy fix. There is an adjuster up by the dice whereby you can make them sit straight if they are too much out whack.

Also, the button lights are lit only when in "dice" mode.

The others are correct...the button lights are lit only when in "dice" mode.

I played mine for the first time in awhile (haven't had time) last night. Other than what has already been said, I still don't know what the purpose is of Dragon Navigation. Yeah, I get the part about how you shoot for stuff based on what colors are flashed, but it doesn't make it any easier to shoot another big bonus. Most of the time, you end up losing more of the tokens you just won from your BB. Your odds of hitting prizes are better than when not in Dragon Navigation though.

Personally, I would rather the Dragon Navigation lead up to the BB rather than follow it. Think about it, you've just won the BB and you've raped the machine of 500+ tokens. It took you 1-2 hours of consecutive play to achieve it. Oh, now the BB is over...and that funky music just keeps on playing and playing and playing...now I feel inclined to keep playing it just so the music will stop. Sure, I could reset the machine, but that would take all the fun out of it, right?

Slotter, I did install volume pots (Radio Shack) a couple months ago. It was a big improvement and the wife will actually sit down and play it now.

I graduated (college) in May and the machines were a HUGE hit! I had to sit an explain the Pachislo history to everyone and people were quite intrigued. Some individuals had seen or heard about "Pachislos" but had never seen one in person. It's funny...I have a tricked out SlikStik Mame Arcade Cabinet and yet everyone wants to play the Pachislos. I guess the thing that is so cool about them is that they're pretty easy to get into.

It was really cool to see three people, side-by-side playing. I piped some Tom Jones and ZZtop (Viva Las Vegas) over the stereo for people to "get into the casino thing" while they were playing. The only bad part was not having a place away from the machines where you could have a conversation without having to yell while someone played through a BB.

I will probably get another 3 machines at some point and do something like Gary's "island setup", but that will have to wait until I have more room. I've already got the fish tank moved as far down the wall as humanly possible.

Does this machine actually feature 3D dice in the cabinet, or is it a light trick? I can't seem to work it out by the video alone.

[MrGneiss]

3D dice I believe.

[Tulsa]

They are physical dice. 4 inches square.

[Firewire]

Yes, they are actual 3D props, not an LCD screen. Of course one of the six sides controls the motors.
