Black Panther demi-pachinko

[jasonlujan]

There is an element of chance in that the pachinko ball needs to go into the enter cradle for a payout. All other results are a loss. Takes some practice but one can find the optimum pressure to increase the odds of a win, rather than just maxing out on the launcher.

My fav part is the playfield, of course.

this is 1977 ブラックパンサー (Black panther) by ウコー (Uko)

Any chance you took a nice photo of the center?

This wouldn't be considered pachinko or arrangeball, this is just a ¥10 game where if you complete the basic task you can win a credit stick worth (usualy) ¥20 in candy at the candystore it'd have been installed at.
Spiral games are one of the oldest mechanical gimmicks in coinop, and have a full century of history in Japan.

The insides of these are actually quite sparse. They each have:
1) A few pieces to assist in any mechanics of ball return
2) a coin mech + basin
3) a payout mechanism, typically an award token or plastic chunk.

Different machine, but check the insides of my Circus: https://pinballnovice.blogspot.com/2...ng-circus.html
Black panther would be basically the same, but probably has a vertical plastic tile reward dispenser.

Can you upload it as a "YouTube Short" and post a link? I'd like to see how this works.
