    Talking Sah Dudes!!

    Whats up everyone. I'm really excited to have found this forum. Currently I live in japan and I walk pass pachinko parlors all the time, but never had the courage to go in one and simply throw money a machine I know very little about. So I did a little digging and found out that on average you pretty much end up spending about 5000 to 15000 yen($50-$150) at least in one sitting. A friend of mine suggested just buying a cheap one off of Yahoo Auctions and of course I laughed and thought these things would be super expensive after seeing the listed prices on ebay, but sure enough they were CRAZY reasonable at about $60 or less so I went crazy and bought the ones I liked. The ones I have are a Trigun and cowboy bebop machines which happen to be two of my all time favorite animes and a Garo red requiem machine because I'm crazy about Garo. This machine turned out to be the better one out of all the ones I saw for sale in the garo line and man are there a lot heh. I also got a pachi slot which the kids love especially when they hit the jackpot and the money flies out. Since I'm here in japan all my pachinko machines are cycle which as I read here takes a little of the fun away and I can totally see that, but in my current position I don't have the resources to support awesome style parlor play soooooooo cycle it is for now. Anyways Pachinko is the coolest thing I've come across in a while and hopefully I will learn a lot from you guys which will enhance my pachinko experience even further.

    Welcome Aboard



    Sweet collection.
    You don't have to go mad in a parlour as long as you are sensible. We went in with 2000 yen. put a 1000 yen note in 2 of the 1 yen machines. and won back over 5000yen.
    Not a huge profit, but we went in for fun not to make profit.

    That does sound pretty sensible. I more than likely will go some time in the near future. Playing the 2014 model has piqued my interest on how much more advanced the newer ones are.

    Great collection! I really enjoy my Cowboy Bebop. The Trigun is fun too.
    Since we just past Tanabata and it's the 10 year anniversary of the show, I recommend the Haruhi pachinko. Lots of fun if you're a fan of the show.
    ...also, there's a bunny girl.
