$10 Computer Pachinko

[sparky kilowatt]

The game is setup to give you 8 balls, open the 3 tulips and reset the score, when you press the Credit Button.

Each ball that hits a pay pocket/tulip scores 10 points and pays out 8 balls + your winning ball is returned to the shooter tray.

One game is however long you can play, without running out of balls and you are playing for High Score. So far, my highest score is 1480.

OK, now I want one of these!

What I like about a machine like this, or any of the computer pachinko machines is the ball management.

You have alleviated the need to move balls around to keep playing. The balls you win keep you playing the game and they are recycled through the machine, so you never even touch a ball. Keeping score rather than winning balls is just a different way of letting you know how well you did at the game.

It's not like I'm going to go "cash in" the winning balls, I'm just going to dump them back into the machine, to just win them again.

I decided the machine needed some color.

I wasn't happy with the chrome frame, as it had some bad spots that were painted silver and just didn't look good, to me. Also, wasn't a big fan of the shooter tray, with the full cover.

I decided to pretty much change everything. I sanded down the chrome frame and painted it white. Changed the shooter tray, using a different style, painted it and made a plexiglas cover for it. The tray was originally all blue. I kept the inside of the tray original, so the balls wouldn't be rolling on a painted surface. The door frame, I painted mint green.

While I had it apart, I added a payout light to the jackpot window and a coloring changing LED to the center feature that is always ON, as an attraction feature.

Personally, I like it much better.
