    Default Hi^^

    Hi guys

    I'm Luciano from Switzerland and I just came back from Japan...where I just fall in love in pachinko and slot.

    To start, I always wanted a pachislot, just to fix it in my game room as a decoration near my japanese arcade machines.
    It was never a priority and I was only looking for a cheap one (as I said, only for decoration).
    But voilą, now that I played with those machines, they just awake in me, a new game sensation...
    I was realy surprised to have so much pleasure and fun to turn those wheels and press those butons.
    And yes the sounds, the lights, the animations etc, just awesome.

    As one of my hobbys, the arcade sector, I need to know everything, the technical talk, how to repair yourself etc etc
    I think, I'm at the right place to do my learning.

    My first question is: What the difference between pachislot and pachislo ??? ^^

    Now I'm looking for a pachislot (or pachislo^^till I don't know the difference), and then a pachinko, and why not, a old one from the 70-80's.

    Welcome to this Insa.... I mean totally amazing group we have here . So a pachislot are the ones with actual reels that you can physically stop. These machines use coins. A pachinko has a bunch of nails and uses balls instead of tokens. When balls are shot they need to land in certain pockets for payouts. Some have a virtual slot or physical reels and some have no slots at all! A pachinko I would recommend if you are doing it for arcade purposes is Tokio delux. It’s a hanemono style machine (no slot) but the ball must fall through the track to start the bonus game.
