    Smile How do you use the pause memory button on the pachinko knob?

    So here is another question for the collective:

    Do you ever use the "hold" button on the panchinko knob?

    I think it delays the launch on most machines. Maybe on some machines it remembers the rotation for you do not have to hold the knob.
    But on my Transformers game I find that using this little button holds the next ball launch. This comes in handy because too many balls down the center end up knocking more balls away from the reel-spin slot than into it. I tend to launch in groups of 6, then 4 than 4 than 3 than 6 again.

    This frequency works for Transformers and tends to keep balls in play without being counterproductive and making the reels spin.

    How do you use it (if at all)?

    Yes, it's so that you can pause your shooting without losing where your shooting the balls to while the game 'catches up'. Remember in the parlor those balls are costing you, they don't waste em. If you time it right during a bonus, you pause a little before the last ball goes into the bonus gate, then start shooting again after it opens. Otherwise balls are just going back out the bottom with no chance of a win.

    I don't worry about it so much unless I'm trying to be serious about it, like I'm playing in a parlor.

    I'll use mine for example on Girls und Panzer to bank the available eight balls and then to pause it until it drops to four or five. The odds seem a bit better if I let it drop from eight to at least five in queue rather than keeping the start pocket loaded with eight at all times. Thus I don't feel that I am wasting any shots.

    My other pachinkos I will use the pause as I reach the max of four in queue as I work towards an reach and fever round but I will keep it topped off at four consistently.

    I usually just use it if I've maxed out on banked spins..But sometimes I use it so I can pay attention to something going on on the screen or playfield without loosing my knob position.

    Also sometimes if I'm running low on balls I'll shoot just one at a time just to make the fun last!!

    Like the others. I use mine to pause shooting when the banked spins are full to conserve balls.
