    Question Ideal counter height for Pachinko and Pachislo?

    This may be opinion oriented...but what is the ideal height for a table that will support both pachinko and pachislo games?
    36"?
    I would use bar stools if at that height. I was thinking of buying a gladiator workbench (for inside) to support 4 games. I am not too fond of the look being that it will be indoors (and it looks rugged) but am having trouble finding other affordable options that are approx 8 feet long.


    Any other table options that you guys use for a table? Brands etc? (I know many have built cabinets but that is not in my price range either and I am not capable)

    The simple answer is. There isn't one. If you already have stools. Then use that as a guide. Sit in it and measure from your belly button to the floor. Thats the height you want your shooter knob. Then deduct approx 3" for the height of your table

    Sitting, the center feature should be slightly higher than you eyes, just about even for reels. The biggest thing is what's comfortable for your arm. Hand slightly higher than elbow for shooter knobs.

    yep start with the stool or chair of choice.. then build (buy) to fit..... dont forget some may prefer to stand and play instead of sitting..

    Thanks all. Does anyone use a table? Any brands or furniture retailers (online) that are a good size?

    I use Gladiator workbench's, I purchased from Sears, look online/store pick up for better deals, shop on holiday weekends (like labor day weekend), check the Sears discount store, don't get locked up on 8 foot, if 6 foot or 4 foot on sale, I would pick them up, it doesn't matter how many machines you own or purchasing, you will gain more in time

    Took a while to find these pics (No organization of a couple hundred thousand ). Doesn't show actual machine height, but if they're scale, should be able to measure and extrapolate.
